Wow everyone wants to race the HEMI truck? I am not seeing Challengers and Chargers getting seduced into the game seems to be this truck only for some goofy reason. Probably because they figure a better chance of winning against a truck twice your weight, but, 4x your power. I will not do it unless it is worth it, meaning I have an actual chance of losing and will not if I know for sure my *** is grass like one of those dam Caddys with the Corvette motor...is that what the first guy was racing there is no way you will beat that car and if you do you are not stock or even close to stock.
Only way you will get that car is if you put a blower or a couple or turbos. I would like to put to twin turbos at the back like that Corvette on one of those TV shows where that customize stuff it slips my mind...Anyway racing ticket here becomes stunt driving now and I think its up to 5 grand ticket and 2 weeks impound for your car

Yes, the game is no longer worth the candle in Canada anyway. I think our Hemi engines would be REALLY impressive in a car weighing so much less. There's no question that the trucks are fast, but a lighter weight car would make more sense if you really are into racing.

I have to agree, I never owned a vehicle that gets challenged as often as this truck does. Thought it was just me.

The lingo sure has changed from when I was a teenager about drag racing!

Have to agree the fine is too hefty in Canada! 40k over the limit and you are screwed!

Our government took advantage of the change to Metric back in the late 70's early 80's, gas when you calculated out 4.5 litres to make our gallon(Imperial) the price was higher for the 4.5 litres as opposed to what it was when it was gallons the day before. When the US put their price up 3 cents a gallon it seems ours goes 3 cents a litre...but we are so complacent over here we pay. If everyone in border towns started going over and buy gas in the US it would prove a point for sure. I know when I go over I fill up for sure, go over empty come back full and save at least the tunnel/bridge fare, when i had dual tanks on an older pickup I had I used to save over 20 bucks a fill inclluding the cost to get across the border so really25 bucks saving back then. Then you go shopping and you get more selection cheaper prices on clothing only, electronics no saving anymore, once in a while their might be a sale in a store we don't have in Canada but other than that clothing, fuel, food is basically what I would buy...never meat or milk though. Well sorry for going way of topic.
Now when you are in the US it's not so bad as far as I know anyone in Michigan chime in on this ...what the charges are for racing or stunt driving or careless driving in Mi. I drive an average of 80mph on the freeway, just to keep up with traffic, nothing worse than someone coming up on your rearend and he changes lanes at the last second at least if I am doing 80 I cruise with them but if their is someone coming faster I am moving faster too so less chance they will hit me.
