I watched the episode of trucks today on spiketv and the 95 ford lightning beat a chevy SS454 by almost a full second on the 1/8th of a mile track. Homboy might be braggin to his friends how he beat you, but once his friends see what you're driving and why. They'd tell him he's full of s@#*

I don't see how you can brag about beating down a small block with a big block anyway. If you win, whoopy doo, you beat a small block, but if you lose, you just lost to a small block. Ha!

How bout this for an idea.. You go back and race him if he agrees to race you in your desired spot this time. Then go out find the muddiest mud hole you can find. Go race and when his POS Chev gets stuck leave him where he sits.

As far as Racing goes, there are ALOT of EXT. cab White Chevy z71s. I can get most of them, The 4.8, is the only one that gets me. I can get the 5.3 and 5.7 Vortecs. Dunno why, but I can. I guess that 4.8 is just lighter, but I get them off the start every time.

that was an old episode,a few months ago they ran several shows and had to do quite a bit of work to both trucks,then put them on the dyno. I couldn't believe what a pooch that big block chevy was. i can't remember the exact horsepower,but it wasn't a whole bunch over 200. just think there was one here at a local dealer for sale last week for $10,000,i could have bought it

Yeah, I saw that it 1st aired on 10-18-08, but I just got to see it today. I watched the very first one where they were both stock and the ford still beat it. If I remember correctly the chevy had 190hp to the ground and the ford put down 221hp. they both had about the same amount of miles on them.

That's what I tell the young punk neighbor up the road with his 07 dodge Ram lowered on 18's......I say "sure, meet me on the powerlines in about 15 minutes"......I don't think he could make it down the access road to get to the powerlines....
And speaking of "trucks!", you all see Ted Nugent's Bronco on Gears? Stacey David aired it out and did some rust repair......pretty sweet....

My 300 would never outrun a 4-banger, but I'd pull him all over the world. What are you geared?

I just smoked a Chevy, I put my digital camera on a fixture and thought I turned it on, and went for a little ride.I was coming back to the house but turned around to make a blast back up the road and this guy pulled out in front of me w/late model Chevy .So I passed him up and he got on it. I let him catch up to me, then it was on. He had a little somthin` somthin` but I just walked away. We gave each other the thumbs up after but I didn`t turn the camera on to record it.Bummer ,I was going to put it on U-Tube.
