I think your truck is cool and everything, but save it for the strip or a rode were no one is on. Have some respect for others, and endangering peoples lives is not worth entertainment of others.
no one forced you to watch it. For someone who doesnt like street racing you sure had alot of comments about the video and how you would like to see a race with your fast friend.

Oh and about the race with my friend. When you have two truely fast trucks, trucks that will cover a long amounts of road in no time flat, it is better for you to take it to the track, because other cars or truck mights see you coming and not realize how fast you are going, which endangers their lives. Im not trying to be your mother or father, you have to realize their is others on the road with you, and if you kill one of them just to try to prove that your truck is faster than theirs that is just stupid. Maybe you think im ignorant, but I had a friend in high school that was killed in a auto accident, becasue the kid that was riding with was racing down the local two lane highway.

nice truck Goat, i hear all this same stuff when my vids get posted at other sites 
, dont get too defensive, just let it roll off if you can. i have heard "the truck keeps leting off just as the cars are catching him" line soo many times 
, i go at least a 1/4mile, no point in running it up to 150mph.
what do you have planed next? my plans are to go after JLP

That is one bad *** truck, even if it is a Ford. I have ridden in a few of those Lightnings and I have respect for them. Anything that can run as quick as they do from the factory and respond to mods they way they do gets my respect. I could lecture you about racing on the street, but then I would be a hypocrite.

even with parish truck being as badarse as it is, it is a LONG way from running 9s like the JLP truck. just hooking the truck and being able to pass tech is a ton of work and adjustment in itself. it is a lot more than just throwing more rwhp at it.

Who cares if your brothers cousins sisters uncle knows a truck that runs 9s? Seriously I never claimed I was fast, the video was for entertainment purposes.
