Such is the Smalltown USA mentality. Everyone wants to race the camaro because its new, sexy, and looks fast.

To the truck guys my retort would be, "your rig pulls trailers, mine pulls trim. What would I need that thing for?"

I know some of the pro monster trucks are about 1500 hp. Not sure about the overall weight but I once heard the tires are about 800 lbs each. their torque must be insane.
No kidding. 800? Wow. Now i know not to mess with one of those. Wonder how much mpg they get. Haha

this happens to me al the time. But only by people who drive shitty slow cars.
I have a few friends who have some very powerful cars but they never talk smack, but then i run into those douchebags who act so big aboout their cars


TRUE STORY
My friends boyfriend had a civic, he talked for months about how he would smoke my car. Him and all his JDM friends talked soo much smack about my car. They have a bunch of civics with motor swaps and so on. Some are quick, but not his or his friends.
One day were all hanging out, he starts to talk smack, im like alright lets go.
His GF gets in his car, my gf gets in mine. All my other friends roll out in theirs.
We go over to my friends private owned stretch.
I SMOKED HIM! Like bus lenghts.
We drive over to the grocery store to buy some bbq supplies. Go to the cash register, all the items start moving down the conveyor and his GF goes to him and says "Hey Simon look, its faster then your car!"

I SWEAR ON MY LIFE--he sold his car two days after and I never heard BS from his JDM friends again.

So people will talk smack, most of them have shitty cars and wont come out when called out, but for those that do, they tend to lose and take it badly.

Planetary Gears in the wheel hubs fix the weight issue on those trucks.

yeah the GTO isnt the greatest looking car to come out of GM, HOWEVER...it did have one of the best commercial for it. Anyone remember it?

Black GTO sitting at a red light, light goes green, its sits there. Light goes red again, car pulls up beside (cant remember which) then light turns green again and there goes the GTO
lol thought it was an epic commercial
