I guess you know what I mean. I actually like a hot rodded truck but drive them like human beings. Also you can de-tune them so they don't kill mosquitoes at every stop light. I race and this is annoying as all hell.

Thanks, although it was all in good fun.

And your AWD! I bet you pull out so far from a dig that they can't close the gap even if they wanted to.

Just seen a big ol' Cummin's the other day zooming in and out of traffic puffing black clouds of smoke all over the place.. him and this big old (ugly) Tahoe were racing... in traffic no less WTF, eh? lol

Ditto.. it's always fun running 392 Challenger's (stick shift) on the street, most of those guys just drop clutch and sit and spin... I just take off hard!

It's called rolling coal! The truck gets beside a car and gasses it. all that smoke fills up the car. Most are not that fast tho. Some are.

So there is a name for being an a--hole behind the wheel of a poorly tuned pickup. These morons are so common that they are considering a law. And if they keep it up, there will probably be emissions tests and then they can really be sorry.

Yup, you heard me spin like a ****. I did a 0-100 run one time... I spun off the line something fierce that time too. Need suspension + tire to get that fixed. (and drivermod).

Only if it's a Diesel. On top of that it's a switch, so it won't show up during regular emissions testing. That and I think most trucks are exempt from it due to the fact they are trucks.

Honestly, AWD launches are fun but I still prefer RWD with a lot of hp to the wheels like my 08 supercharged Mustang GT. Sure, it's fun to point and shoot (AWD) but it's also fun taming a bull (RWD + street tires!) and reeling them in on the top end! The 08 was the most fun I ever had in a car, even though it was scary at launch and I had to really get on and off the throttle.. it was worth the rush!

Yer lucky you have a track near you. I guess the one in Calgary closed a few years back. Now the nearest track is like 3 hrs away in Edmonton. I stopped by there a few weeks ago. Called Castrol Park or something like that. Dirt track, road course (they were running some crotch rockets when I was there), and drags all on one property. Nice facility.

There is one in Medicine Hat and they are apparently building one in Rimbey

I miss the track here, there were always a lot of cool cars out on street nights
