Tundra downed was it the ram's last run?
So I'm leaving my office which is situated right between two Toyota dealerships... and one of the little creatons that take the trucks off the lot to be washed or fueled... or tinted... is sitting next to me at the red light... First let me say... it was probably the best looking stock tundra I have ever seen... it was charcoal colored with 20 inch wheels and a little stainless tip on the exhaust... my dad has a tundra and for whatever reason his has always seemed very peppy... so the guy starts power breaking it and lunging....
now my truck is 10 years old (coming up on 11) I have a 170,000 miles... and a few mods (CAI, Headers, 3" Gibson, 52mm fastman throttle body) and when I was a couple years younger I would race any truck that looked at me funny (I have beaten extended cab chevy's, all types of fords... a couple v6 camero's that kind of stuff) but now my baby is getting up there and I haven't throttled it in a long time... (must be growing up) but it was cold outside for the first time in....well ever (southern Louisiana) and my truck is like a different animal in the cold... So I go for it... I jumped him off the line and made him look foolish until about 45 mph... then he started pulling back on me pretty good... (closed the gap from about 3 truck lengths to close to 1) then his truck shifted and I was ahead for good... I let off at about 80 with a 2 truck length lead.... I felt good... I was kind of wondering if the old girl still had it... it is a little noiser now than it used to be... and it takes a couple of turns to crank it sometimes... so it was nice...
I actually just bought a 2007 QC hemi SLT with the 20" wheels... its funny that I was racing and it wasn't even in my new truck...
I was actually wondering if the new truck could have beaten the tundra that badly...
what do you guys think?
