Rule of thumb for racing.

Rule of thumb for racing.

If you have a truck, don't race cars.
If you have a car, dont race motorcycles.
If you have a motorcycle, dont race helmetless.

Right on the last 2, but there are some pickups that would kill he fastest Camaros on this site. My brothers 426 storked Dakota R/T would make a lot of modded ponies cry, my old SBC S-10s could do the same. My current Dakota 4.7 is lightly modded, but is plenty enough to take out many a so calledperformance car. If you are saying for safety, none of the trucks i mentioned are as heavy as even a Camaro is.

Not a problem, I was just curious.

Your comment about destroying cars had my attention for a bit.

Definitely some sick SUV's out there.

There's an SRT-8 in my are with H/C/I + Full Bolt-ons, 3600 Stall, Slicks/Skinnies running 11.40's @ 114-116 MPH.

Fast truck for sure.

Good advice! But there is one truck that can race some cars at least

This is my 'ol SRT-10 Viper Truck, almost 500rwhp and I had her up to 176mph! surprised quite a few people with her

Not true I had a 2007 crew can z71 silverado with the 6.0 and it had intake and it was cammed exhaust and tune and I could spank some gt's and 02 03 camaro's that weren't heavily modded. So watch ur statement there are alot of lightnings and srt 10 trucks that can spank alot of cars.
