Man! Just a little too late.....

Well, I woke up this morning and finally decided to order me a Quadzilla 140hp box!

On the way to work this morning I came up to a light where I had to make a right turn. It had just turned green for the other way and I didn't feel like waiting so I mashed the pedal to get in front of a long line of traffic. I spun the tires a little as I tried to keep control of the vehicle when I look in my mirror and see a pickup truck right on my butt! I continue to lay into it at about 3/4 throttle or maybe a little more and this guy stays right on my butt! I gave it a little more pedal and pulled away but just a tiny bit. The guy wouldn't get off my butt so I decided to hit the brake and he finally backed off. We came to where he was turning right and he passed me and I saw it was a new Toyota Tundra. I have gotta say that the truck was pretty impressive as it was probably stock.

The moral of the story is that I should have bought my box a week ago then I would have blown him away with the 60 extra hp!! Man I wish I had a new HO..........

Are you sure you weren't seeing your own reflection in the new glass officebuilding?

The Tundra's and Tacomas are pretty quick stock.

Toyota's in general, even/ especially the little R-22's, run like raped apes considering for what they are.


In all actuality, ricers today all run like raped apes considering what they are...


But just remember: while they may have you matched in speed, you got them by far in the power category. (Like that isn't just a cop-out excuse...)

Ya, I know I could have pulled him down the road sideways easily. His couldn't even budge mine I'd bet......

Sure! The only things I have for adding power are the exhaust and EZ. Remember that an SO starts out at around 200hp at the rear wheels.

Yea, but I thought the EZ put out a lot more just to make up for all that.

Maybe that's just for the HO though...
