Im not trying to knock anybody just saying to each his own.

 

It was 40 degrees today so i tried to 0-60 time and got 7.2....i tried about 5 times and they were all close but that was my best

 

Hell, i like anything with a big motor that can put a smile on my face, weather it's GM- Ford- Dodge- Toyota or Nissian! I had them all, and have no brand loyalty anymore. I used to when i was younger as i couldn't afford much in high school and college, but now, nothing but the best available at the time of purchase. Hell, if Ford could build a BOSS motor that would kick my Tundra's behind, I'll own another Fordagain. I roll with the times, and the time of muscle trucks is here! For now, it just happens to be Toyota. If i could live with a 4x2, then the H-D SC F150 would have been my choice. I'd rather own a sports car than a low riding 2wheel drive truck though!

 

i got to drive a titan four door with the endurance v8 tonight... im not going to lie that thing is quick... its geared funny though. the first two gears are real low and then the next three are like overdrive... its weird

 

I think that is their attempt to get fuel economy without killings its ability to haul ***. But I bet that puts a damper on 1/4 times.

Something I think we all have to remember. These are trucks. I forget all the time. Yes they can haul some ***. But I was looking around lastnight at beater cars and found that some kid squeezed 450 hp out of a little Nissan. I also found a freakin Chevette with a small block! A Chevette! You can make ANYTHING fast, buts its either time and money or just alot money to do it.

I wish I could deck out the truck. But I have to play "keep-up" with the body in this area, so that won't happen. That discourages me from buying new too. Why pay 35K or more for a truck, and then trade it in three or four years later for half of that amount? And if you keep it you have to fix the hell out of it in 7 or more years.

I'd prob buy a Yota if I had the cash, but loose 2K in a trade in and spend $500 or more a month for insurance and truck payment, no can do. Might look at a car soon. Gas prices just went up again, as Im sure they did where you guys live too.

 

yes gas prices blow everywhere. but to quote a country song i heard," i won't sacrifice my familys saftey just to save a little gas.........you do your thing, i'll do mine"


right on!

1fast4x4- I'm with you fast is fast and that makes me happy. if i could afford a titan i would have bought one. I will always be a gear head and no matter what i drive it will be tweaked.

 

Ah your screwed no matter what in that case. You just have a slightly better chance in a truck. Anything hitting you hard enough, like a semi, you can loose even in a tank. But your right in the sense that you need all you can get, especially this time of year.

 

i have a 2008 gmc sierra short bed single cab with the 5.3 super 44 series flowmaster true duals headers back, airaid cold air, throttle body upgrade and spacer, jet mass air flow sensor, edge evolution programmer and ground force 2.5 rear drop and if I run drag radials i hit 5.07 this past weekend. Im gonna post the video and time card soon.
