Default Need some info

My friend is one of thoes peopl who thinks he knows everything about cars. He was formerly the owner of a 2003 mach 1. Just untill he traded it in a week ago. He bought a 2004 or 5 toyota X-runner. It has 250hp and 290lbft torqure. I think it weighs around 3600 pounds. He says he will easily take a single cab short bed dodge hemi. And that it is the next fastest truck besides a lightning and a dodge srt-10 is he right or is there a hemi owner on here with some good info to back it up that his toyata will not touch a hemi. I know this has nothing to do with Ls1s but i just need to shut him up. He also says his truck can out slolom f-bodies

is that a tacoma?

3600lbs for a pick up seems a bit light. Id venture to say that a syclone pick up would stomp his ***, something proper. there are a few trucks out there between his and a 500HP dodge pick-up.

i think your buddy is a little excited about his new found love.

his truck isnt a full size truck and those others will stomp him good.

Tell him to compare himself to the small timer trucks.... like a Hemi Dakota, Dakota R/T, or a Syclone
