Default Got beat by an X-Runner...

So I was at one of the main stoplights here and town and I noticed a truck with BIG ROUND foglights. I knew I had seen them somewhere before (my friends Tacoma) and let it catch up with me. We get to the next stoplight and I rev at him, thinking it can't be too quick, probably just a four banger Tacoma...He pulls up next to me and revs back at me, and then I see the blindingly red paint job, sideskirts, and hood scoop and start thinking, WTF is this thing(later I remembered seeing it in Motor Trend)? So the light turns green, and my REVOs hook, and we take off. I'm doing fine until the top of first gear. Then he starts pulling away from me completely. I shut her down about 100mph in a 45, but that joker kept going. Must have not been from here, because our cops are NOT NICE to speeders.

I was very surprised to say the least, but my truck ain't anything special, so you know...

They generally run mid 15s at around 88-90mph through the 1/4, couple low 15s. They're quick for a Taco.

TRD also developed a SC for the 3.4L V6. A 2wd Taco at a recent shootout was running the 3.4 with the TRD SC and nitrous. Turning mid to low 13's with a very soft launch.

I really like the X-Runner. They are supposed to handle really well. I remember my evil ex-girlfriend supercharged civic would barely bear a 4-banger taco.

Yep, Chirico's S-Runner. They have told me I wouldn't have a chance that's it's a 10 second truck.... MMHMM...
