Default Could I easily beat a Toyota Tundra?

My Girlfriend and best friend both have V6 mustangs and both said they have been killed by Tundras. Should I be worried if I run into a tundra a stoplight? I've never raced one before but, heard they were fast.

Yes the stock ones I've seen turn high 15s with the mods you listed you should be in the mid to high 14s. V6 Mustangs are mid 16sec cars.

They're pretty good contenders. However, I never lost to one when driving my 2001 5.3 extended cab Silverado when I had it stock. I raced them from a stop, from a roll, and uphill. The one that got the ugliest was the uphill race. Eventhough they only got 245 horsepower, what helps them is, of course, that they're lighter and that they have a 4.xx gear rear end.
