Default DD loss

OK, my DD is not the fastest thing on the road, but I didn't think it was a dog [&:] 2004 QC 4x4 5.7Hemi with cold air. Getting on the highway this morning I had a black Acura CL-S tailgating me which invariably makes me slow down. As we get onto the highway proper he switches a lane then slows down to 20. OK, I'll bite and from 20-85 I slowly lost ground to about a half to three quarter length loss before traffic started to come up.Dang it......thought I would have this one. LOL......terribly exciting eh? It was a fun way to start the morning.....adrenaline + caffeine FTW

Don't feel too bad, it happens to everyone. My wife smoked me in her minivan, I was in the Cherokee, of course but a loss is a loss.

Not bad bro. Those are massive trucks, especially the Quadcabs! When I was next to a few of those in my 04 Chevy Silverado reg cab they were way bigger. It almost made my truck look like an S10 their so much bigger! So for not losing by much, that's pretty good.

I raced a Quadcab with my old Focus ZX3 and beat him by about 1 car. He said he couldn't believe I beat him and asked to run again. So we went one more time and this time I pulled 1 1/2 cars on him.Shouldn't have been that much of a surprise. Your truck should be running low to mid 16's, unless of course it's modded.

You need a sticker for the back of it that says, "You might beat me now, but my Mustang will beat your azz later!"

Nice death!


You probably weighed 50% more than him so I'd say you did pretty good
