This has happened many times in my RX-7 and now recently in my Mini.



Last night and the night before I am in my mini and a truck like a Dodge Ram wants to race me at a light. I had the family in the car so it was a no go.



I have had it happened in my 7 and I usually ignore them until they annoy me then I'll just floor it in a gear and suck out their headlights.



Do these guys really think they have a chance. What does a full size truck run in the 1/4?? I am guessing they have probably beat the hell out of ricers and think a 7 is just another one.



I wonder if my mini could hang?

Rednecks. That actually happened to me today and the guy was in a dodge dually with fake cow balls hanging from his trailer hitch. WTF? I dunno... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif



I dont know what the hell they are thinking, I mean, you may have a Hemi, but it weighs 3 times as much as my car...

I know a couple of duallies running 12's on the street

Don't **** with a DODGE!

um...sometimes they can win



2 lanes, right one merges into left up ahead. I'm in the right, slightly behind the truck in the left. I speed up, trying to pass him before they merge. He schooled me pretty bad. I might have made it, but I'm not too risky when it comes to running off the road. If it had been a long straight, I would've had him. I drive an F150 at work, they have huge torque, but after a few thousand RPM there's nothing left.

My 92 has 500 ft-lbs torqu and its a BABY!

I'm not sayin' they can't win, but sometimes you just know that theres no point in tryin'. Especially with cow balls...

The thing is they are instigating the race in their giant trucks.

And 250 hp for a 5000 # vehicle... My dads truck has a lot of tork, and its slower than ****...

i don't know... i lost to one of those brand new dodge hemi 5.9 L 1500 ram in my 2002 accord 4 cylinder auto

There's a couple guys running supercharged F-150 Lightnings at the track. Trust me, they ain't slow.



Also, I have recently driven a 2003 Dodge 250 with the Cummins Turbo Diesel. The acceleration on that thing is nothing short of amazing for a vehicle of that size. I suspect the hemi is even faster.



Yup. A lot of the newer trucks are for real. And there's nothing a good redneck likes better'n a truck what'll run faster than stink.
