3.5L Vs. Blue Lightning
short story...he got walked...the details are like this...
saw him in traffic.so i came up and taunted him a couple times...we caught a light with me having one car in front and him 3...so i stayed back even with him...as the light turned green i let them roll out some then i gave him a launch flying by him at the top of 1st...finally we clear traffic...i let him get out then i followed then i moved over and we paced... at about 65 he hit it ,i was ready and pretty much instantly put a car on him then stretched it out to 2-3..at the top of 3rd figuring it was over as i banged the rev limiter 3-5 times i shift into 4th...but he's still WOT i figured WTH...though 4th is gear limited to 170 MsPH and no good for racing,i didnt think the truck was gonna have alot left at those speeds...he made it to my rear...creeped a few inches then just as i started to creep back he shut it down...i guess 130 was fast enough for him...

Nice run. He more than likely stayed in it because he could not believe he was getting beat by a luxury coupe. Good stuff.

I thinketh @ a 65mph start wind resistance was not his friend... what is the drag co of a Lightning anyway?
I doubt a rolling start @ 65mph is one of the Lightning's strengths.
oh yeah... good kill!

don't know many truck owners that would have actually bothered from that speed...
I'm just jealous I never get any to try me at 80...
