So I was picking up some groceries tonight and a big pick up truck pulled beside me and kinda gunned it ahead and so I followed and we came to a red light and then we raced, I didnt have time between stopping and putting it in gear to rev at all so it wasnt a very good launch but he pulled ahead, by the time I got in second he was about a length and a half ahead and once I started gaining he was already slowing down since the limit was 50km and we were probably breaking 100km.
I dont really take it too heart since those big trucks have ass loads of torque(didnt get a chance to see what kind, assuming it wa s GM of some sort). It still woulda been nice to win though  I think if I had a nice launch I coulda atleast been even but Ill never know now

trucks own the 0-40mph area they have high number rear ends for towing and high torque. if you would have actually launched it would have been different. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
