Default got me a little action this morning...

ive been DD my truck for the past week, and i was coming home from work just cruising down the road since there is no traffic on a sunday morning at 5am, then i took my exit and i see a camaro SS with gauges on his apillar and about a 4inch cowl hood, so he kind of hits the brakes a little and i just give him small friendly rev just for the hell of it (not really wanting to race ) so we come to the red light and he is just kind of staring at my truck, so i just inch up a little bit and he did also and smiled so then i knew it was on.... the light turns green and we both hit it! I get my whole truck in front of him and stay there till about 90mph and its all over he starts pulling away from me.... so i just let off.... we get to the next light and he ask me what i have and blah blah....etc... he said he was also fully bolt-on and a cam in the LS1... we give each other a dumbs up and agreed to do it again on the Green light... so we did it again with the same results.... even though i didnt win i sure feel good knowing that i can hold him off that long since i was at full weight with only about 50miles on a full tank of gas and on nnbs 20's.... i really thought he was going to eat me alive from a stop.. but im really impressed on how good my truck hooked on the street tires from a dead stop!.... I am amazed at how good these new tires hook, they are the general grabber UHP 275/45/20.....

feels good to get the adrenaline pumping this early in the morning.!! lol...

Nice run.
A low 12 second truck NA, is a serious contender to most cars on the road.
