a guy i know wants to race me for a lot of money, he always says his car is super fast, anyone have thoughts?

me personally i think you could take him.Yeah his car has more hp but its also alot heavier.. so i would say race him and take his money..

Cobalt30

how much money is "a lot" ? and if he does then you should hustle him and race on a set up road course.

he has 365 ft/lbs, not horsepower... hp is 320... 0-60 is over 8.5 seconds... and it's a 50,000 truck... you should win

dont race trucks ...even if you win its embarrasing


**(there are some truck exceptions)

yea racing an SUV is like...'yea you beat me but your still slow' type thing considering they weight twice as much and such and run 17-18's. (except for the new escalade, that things quick for what it is.)

D4u2s0t

true... but he's racing for money because the kid is talking smack... if he was instigating on the highway or something, that would be pretty gay

I was on my normal commute home and take off out of the toll booth a little spirited and start to cruise again then an X5 does a ricer flyby and acts like he ripped me apart when I didnt hit the gas, downshift or anything. He slowed back down then laughed like I was tryin to race him then did another ricer flyby, I mean granted even if I did beat him in a race hes still in the BMW so I guess he kinda wins anyway, long story short I dont get the trucks that want to race, its not safe get a car to go fast, not a tippy truck.

thanks guys ur the best

On a straight track you will lose. On a tight road course your would have him. The new Jeeps are faster then Audis.

isn't the 2003 denali good for 17 seconds? with an 8.5 0-60?? how would that beat any cobalt?

JonE64

I know this isn't the same as a Denali, but my Dad has an AWD Trailblazer SS. It weighs around 4,800lbs and still gets a 0-60 of 5.7sec. Car & Driver got a 5.5sec 0-60, granted it does have 395hp & 400ft/lbs. I'm just saying not all SUV/Trucks are slow. Be careful, also he may not be stock.

D4u2s0t

the trailblazer has 75 more hp, 35ft/lbs more torque, and weighs like 1,000 pounds less though

IonNinja

what is with you guys and racing trucks, suv's, and vans...theres so many races like that in the "what can we beat" thread

cvenom2122
