one sentense. MY friend's Chevy truck beat my turbo charged S13.

yesterday, i got my JDM Silvia bumper (oem), so my s13 front convertion's finally done. I was so happy until my friend showed up. I explained to him all the turbo and stuff, but theni was speachless after his F-ed up chevy truck beat my s13.

shoot. Just realized today i need stage 3 clutch so bad.OEM clutch suck all the time. can't even handle 200-ish hp.

What clutch do i need to get? something that can handle 300 rwhp. (not that my car make that kind of power, just for safe range. )

Never underestimate a truck My friend could beat nearly anything off the line in his F-250. bucket loads of torque off of idle (he had the old 422 International diesel, 1983). Of course they would catch up quick since he had 0 top end.

If you want embarrassing, one time a minivan beat my friend (same one with the truck, they were being stupid and messing around). Floored it off the light, lots of noise, lots of tire spinning, and not alot of go. He had his rear tire stuck in a big puddle!

I also understand the 1980's Japanese compact trucks can make real track demons with some work.

I have a 8.0L V10 Dodge Dully it owns all!! I bet it could beat a Corvette in 0-60... to bad once you get to 100 it does not want to go much faster...

Why oh why do you have such a monster? Do you tow your house to work with you everyday? I can understand people having trucks when they work construction jobs, but even in that case such a truck is just overkill. All these people buying bigass trucks and suvs just to have. . Then they all try running me into oncoming traffic or off the road. I just dont think that many people have legit reasons for owning bigass things like that. Sorry for the rant, maybe you do have a good reason, but it drives me crazy hearing every other 19 year old girl wanting a black dodge ram v8 because they are "roomy"

agree. It drives me crazy when some moms who don't even drive very well, drive biga$$ SUVs... that's a true moving bomb.

my s13 so tiny

We should petition for a ban on trucks and SUVs...

Why? Who the hell are you to tell other people what they can or cannot drive?

We should put a ban on little four cylinder sports cars, because all those stupid reckless punk kids drive them! I don't really mean that, but that's how stupid banning any kind of car sounds.

What's wrong with wanting a truck because you like a truck? Just because it's big, it's evil? That's rediculous. People can own and drive whatever they damn well please.

I DO agree that it's irritating seeing soccer moms and such driving SUVs and garbage around and not even using them for offroad use or anything--or even worse, seeing lifted trucks with low profile tires and spinners...But people have the right to drive whatever they want--for whatever reason they want! I have a friend (also happens to be a 19 year old girl--I laughed when I read that part of your post...dead on--except the "roomy" part) who wants a black Ram just because it's dead sexy--though she'd take it off road. Have you heard the exhaust note (even through the drinking straw stock tailpipe they have)? It's absolutely godly--and that's just the small V8--the V10 is purely orgasmic.Is there something wrong with just wanting a truck because you like it? How is that worse than wanting a 240sx or a any other car, just because you want it?

Besides, soccer moms drive like **** no matter what they're in. Yes, it makes it worse when they're in a big car, but it's not BECAUSE of the big car. There's a difference there.

People who say things like that make me laugh. Utter hipocracy. Why should a truck lover have any less right to his choice of vehicle than you do?

[lrb_2000]

most of these people are the ones that complain about gas prices though... why would you go buy a $30,000 truck/suv for a daily driver that gets 12mpg... at least my car gets 30mpg.

[themadscientist]

I have a way to solve all these problems. You must qualify for the car you want. If you want an expanation you have to test on it. You can't park it, you can't change lanes without wiping out three cars you can't drive it, period. You can't keep from spinning that new sports car out of control in a wet corner you can't drive that either. Everybody starts with an econobox license and they must qualify for anything bigger or faster. It solves the wannabe pizza-faced teenage in 240 problem as well as the yuppie ***** in the monolithic escalade problem but also doesn't stop anyone from stepping up if they can handle it. the burden is solely on the individual driver.Sports car drivers and bike riders hating on SUVs and hybrid tree-huggin neo-hippies hating on any car that doesn't run on cooking oil, solar power and love all need to shut the **** up and quit trying to impose their view of the world on others. If you can drive it and you want to pay for the gas go ahead on

[lrb_2000]

haha that's awesome... would be a good idea lol. I can't stand some of the people in this town... I don't know how many times I haven't been able to get into a parking lot, because some big *** truck or suv was waiting to turn right in the middle of entrance, and I had like 4 feet on either side to try and get in.. look at my sig, that's exactly how I feel.

[97ka-t]

Those SRT trucks are amazing. Was cruising down the the road and it destroyed a Carrera

[HashiriyaS14]

Once again, TMS has a good idea.

TMS for President in 2008!!

And if we lost the campaign, we can just spend the rest of the campaign funds on car parts, lol.

[slyde]

one of my friends just bought one of those v8 dodge ram hemi's. i think he said something about 345hp? i know its not much compared to other trucks, but damn thats still quick.

[SHIFTNiZmo]

I have a lifted Jeep Wrangler that used to smoke those riced out Tegs.

But anyways, still, I wouldn't want to take that Jeep through the twisties like I would a Z32, or the S13 that I'm looking at.

I attended th Dodge Gold Tour in Toronto last year and go to go around a race track in the viper, SRT10 truck and the SRT4 (all driven by a professional race drive). needed a change of underwear after gettin out of the truck. the viper was awesome too...

[HijackTheLeft]

A guy I work with drives a new Titan, and that thing is fast as hell. He tried to race me, and he smoked me off the line. I was amazed.

[thekawaii]

OMG. He keep calling me Loser.****. I hate it. Why is that truck so fast?

i remember the jeep suv Comercial, suv was faster than Audi TT.

[1991S13]

You have my full support

While you're at it -

Make the NOPI Nationals a holiday, and ease up on the emissions and crap so we can have the good cars/engines available here too.

[dfw240_EE]

I didn't mean for this firestorm to happen It just happened to be the only thing he could afford at the time, and in 1999-2000 when he owned it diesel was cheap, and it was actually a cool vehicle while it lasted. Last I heard, he was driving a Chevy Prizm, it IS hard to own a truck nowadays, especially on a coastguardsman's sallary.

[nismofly]

i would vote for you tms

you only need something like 300 votes in writing to be put on the ballot...lets do it!

[Sirikool]

Dont us 240 drivers have a truck engine? It's hard to go up against trucks n suvs these days.

PS: TMS has my vote.

[MinisterofDOOM]

You know you've got my vote, man!

CA advocacy in the whitehouse. Sweet!

[98s14inaz]

The only thing I can't stand about big trucks and suv's is the fact that you can't see around or through them. I am a pretty conservative driver (3-5 car lengths back) and I like to know what is ahead of me (10 car lengths), autox a few times and you instictively start to look ahead and anticipate. But because soccer mom or billy bob needs that huge suv I can't see $hit and I pray to god that I have enough time to react or get out of the way when she screws up.

[Nismo_Freak]

hearing every other 19 year old girl wanting a black dodge ram v8 because they are "roomy"

You must live in Round Rock.
