Default Trucks Constantly Trying Me????

It seems every where I go around here every time i'm just taking it easy i'll come to a light and there will be some dumb *** hill billy in a f150 or some other pos truck who is insistant on trying to race me. I"m not saying there arent fast trucks out there that should be tryin us but i'm talkin bout the guy with no buisness even thinking about beating us.Even after I run on them at the light sure enough.....we hit the next light and the guys tryin again and reving. Do you guys ever get this crap too???

A BMW SUV tried to pass me along a really short stretch of road that goes from 2 to 1 lanes the other night. Before turning onto that stretch, I had a feeling he was going to try something so I started out in 2nd. By the top of second he realized he wasn't going to make it and got back behind me where he received the middle finger salute for a good 20 seconds.

No one really revs their engine around here. But trucks and SUVs sure like to tailgate, especially in the rain.

Sometime's us "hill billy's" enjoy watching cars burn rubber. Basicly we want to know what the car can do.

Friend I'm here to tell you that In Bristol, Tennesee....there is an F250 Dually that runs a 10.88 in the quarter. And the guy drives the truck everyday to work and home.

Does your car run a 10.88?

see now this response is the whole reason I originally put in my first post that I KNOW that there are trucks that are more then worthy of a street race and i'm KNOW there are trucks that would beat most fbodys.everyone knows that if you put enough money in something it will be fast.I"M NOT ******* TRUCKS.I actually think a truck that will out run a car is pretty sweet.
I"m talking bout the guy with a stock 94 whatever with rust holes acting like they have a chance.
So dont get yourself all up set ok Torque Wrench

Yes i've gotten this a lot, some Z71 truck tried to race me in my 3rd gen one time and I finally raced him just to get him off my *** and his passenger tried to throw a beer bottle at me.

Stupid *** hillbillies...one guy in a truck told me i went wrong by getting an auto in my third gen. I said that was the only option for a 350 and he called me a liar even though i know for a fact it is. Dumbfucks.

I get it everwhere I go. Just b/c my car is loud ever single truck w/ a catback wants to run me. And 90% of the time it will be on a back road and they will just ride my a$$ and rev up. It drives me nuts.

Funny. I have a 04 F250 PSD crew cab with a Banks exhaust and some other goodies. You would not beleive how many cars...especially ricers have tried to race me. It's pretty fast for a truck with 6" lift and 35s and you'd be surprised how many of these pesky guys get caught with their pants down and get whipped by a truck. A guy in a white eclipse with a huge exhaust was the last victim.

So if I'm minding my own business in my hauler and someone in a car instigates a race with me, what does that make them if I'm a "Hillbilly'?

yep...everyone that drives a truck is a hillbilly haha JFWY. cars dont usually take me serously until its too late. i agree that 98-99% of the trucks out there cant touch a v8 camaro.

i get tested my trucks on occasion to. i think they hear the exhaust and they want to match or beat the volume of it rather that beat you in a race . i love trucks though, im in the process of finding a Syclone

Default Never

Never had any trucks try to race me here in NC....but like a previous poster said there are some fast trucks out there. One night at the track some dude had a hell of a Silverado like an '02 w/ cam and not a 5.3 liter...it ran 10's, also a "dually" (I think thats how you spell it) running 11's and a stock I suppose SRT-10 ran 13.4 no traction he didn't even launch! So don't guesstimate on trucks just crush there *** to the best of your ability!!!
