"That saab has one of them wrx engines huh?" I just agree
Welp, since this old thread is coming back to life...
I was cruising back to the house one afternoon and this guy in an F-body was messing around with me in my 02 silverado. I ended up passing the exit for my house and followed him for awhile. Since no one was around I slowed to a 30 roll because honestly those are the most fun. We took off and I was a car behind him all the way to 120. We waved and went about our ways.
2 weeks later i'm at a local meet and the guy comes up to me asking WTF I had done to the truck and that his car had a few mods and never expected a truck to be that close! hahaha the guy was super cool about it and ended up buying an NX kit that weekend so it didn't happen again.
Situations like that just make it so worth it for us truck guys.
My new line though when everyone asks me about lowering, modding, etc. is "Because RaceTruck" it's hilarious when you tell people that.
A truck is just me. I've tried other vehicles, none get the respect that a truck does.
People always ask why I'm making a truck "fast". Then they ask if it has a 350. I tell them bacause I want to haul stuff and go fast. They still don't get it....
I hate the how fast is it, cus those guys dont understand a 1/4 mile time, I used to just say the speedo says 120, thank god I took it up to 152 so now I just say well ive had it to... Cus when you say well idk the top speed but itll do 114 in the 1/4 they just think well 114 isnt that fast :sigh:
People always ask why I want to make a truck fast especially ricers. I love showing them the taillights ...... I can't wait for me powa!
i had a guy driving next to me tell me my tranny is going out LOL It's not slipping it's a torque converter
+1 lol my mom thought the same thing drove the saab home for me after surgery...
Less talking !,more racing! My fav question is ...Why do you have a blue door on a red truck?....Really you think i did that on purpose!Its blue cuz some douche in a dodge hit me with no insurance.AND...............no its not a 327!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow who the hell is this cowl327 guy? :eek:
when ever i go anywhere i always have people tell me me belts gonna fall off, now i just say thanks, i got tired of explaining to people why i have a blower on an avalanche. another good one is some smart ass tryin to look cool for his buddys asking "you get carried away with that red paint", then i have to point out its all aftermarket suspension that came in red, it never ends. my new one is the 4" exhaust, everyone laughs at my 5" tip, its not funny when i point out the exhaust is only an inch smaller. the old guys with old primer grey chevy trucks with dual 2" exhausts ask why a fart can on a truck, those usually get a rude response from me. my latest one was when i was getting in my truck 2 guys getting out of a beat up old dodge laughed and and made a smart ass comment about my truck so i let them hear what 6500 rpm sounded like then they wanted to talk, i told them its amazing what you can do when you aren't addicted to meth and have a job
I was driving to the titty bar one night with three guys and two girls... we had my truck loaded down. We're cruising through town and this Cummins pulled up next to me at a red light and it has 4 guys in it. They see the gauges and start revving. I just flash the converter to about 4000 one time. One of them says, "Daddy must have spent a lot of money on that truck." Well when the light turns green, off they go. I ran them down and put about 16 lengths on them before the next light. I guess they're a little butt hurt at this point because they're staring straight ahead and no one wants to roll their window back down. We get to the bar and they don't say a word. They get out and walk straight in. We're all behind them walking in laughing. At some point, I let slip, "I hope Daddy's money is good here... apparently that's all I have." At that point, they changed their attitude and was like WTF is done to it.
I got a few good ones last night. You cant go fast with a computer controlling the fuel, It cant be done. You need a 600 Holley on that thing to outrun me.
All coming from a guy with a 80's model Monte Carlo SS with a 383 $5000 heads forged bottom end, 3/4" cam lol and a quadrajet.
I lined up with him and ended up putting 3 bus lengths on him. He had a line of excuses a mile long for why he was so slow lol
He said wait till he gets his camel hump heads on it.
His problem was he's using a quadrajunk. lol
the clown in a diesel story's are never ending, at least those guys ran you. i hope the ricer's dont shift to gm's, its bad enough they went to dodges. i just had a guy with a common rail dodge with wheels, stack, and a programmer calling me out, i was tryin to ignore him but after i heard wanna be turbo truck 3 or 4 times i had to speak up, i ask him why he was sittin by my avalanche at the grocery store & didnt have any groceries & i ask him if my wanna be turbo truck was making him hot, then i ask if they were tryin to pick me up because im not gay & my girlfriend was waiting on some groceries & their truck looked like it didnt have room for anyone that was not a homo, then i ask why else would you sit outside owens for at least a half hour in the freezing cold & snow because im sure you wont race me? i let him know i would run him in the snow as soon as i put my cart up & my gas gauge was on e, my o2's were toast, im runnin 22" wheels & street tires in snow, and 1 of my plug wires was burnt half way through and im still up for a race right now!, whats you excuse because i know your not gonna race? like a real man he said quietly not worth my f'n time and blew some smoke (because he had his truck de-tuned to do so) and tried to speed off
