Hardly Ableson kill!

ok, normally i do not street race.....

but, im comin back to work from lunch, and for 5 stoplights, i got this guy in a turd squirter next to my open rt side window, given her all shes got just to annoy me....
so, we both happen to catch a red light side by side, and he looks over at me and laughs a little, guess he knew it was bothering me....

i see the other side light go yellow, and powerbrake the 6ohh up to about 1600 rpm or so.. my light goes gree, i hear the hardly try and holeshot me... well, after about two seconds of wheelhop, i have him about at my rt door. truck shifts, i keep it floorboarded, by the top of third, he is at about my rear bumper (breathing my fumes)
finally get to 5th gear and let off. speedo reads about 95 or so ( ), and he raps off a few revs of his puny noise maker.... next light, he would not even make eye contact.

im still high as a kite over this encounter.... i knew those land yahts were slow, but c'mon! this truck os nearly 7k with my 200lb **** in it!

anyhoo, i wonder what she would have done with an exhaust, intake, and a predator on max ??

Until you experience the ear to ear grin at least once!! Never new a truck this size could have so much power without mega bucks of mods.

I guess the word is getting around. The ricers don't try much any more. The guys in the Dodge Cummins with mods still don't know better!
