    Default What was the first car/truck your R/T lost to?

    Figured this would be a good section to post this to seeing its a bench racing section. I don't support street racing, but we all know when we first got these trucks we did a few stop light to stop light romps. My first loss was against a duramax diesel 04 ish chevy quad cab on the street. I only owned my truck at the time a week. Boy was my ego crushed LOL. Now first time I lost at the race track was to a 86 Monte carlo that had a 540 bbc stroker on a 150 shot of giggle gas. This was 2 years ago, and I gotta say I thought it was cool losing to this car cause it was so loud and blew by me so quick at the strip. I felt like I had a front row seat to this race as a camera truck.

    First race I ever lost in my grey truck (when it was completely stock) was against a modded Lightning.

    A buddy of mine who was riding with me said he knew it was fast so I just wanted to see it open up. He pulled a couple lengths from the jump and just kept on getting it.

    Midnight Mayhems at LVMS are ripe for the picking - 80% of the people run 13's or slower, and at least 3/4's of the people who are capable of running 12's or quicker don't have enough tire/traction to handle the sloppy conditions at Midnight Mayhem. As a result, I only lost one race in over 2 years - and I thoroughly got my ass handed to me. I got lined up next to this guy who is someone I know from our local muscle car club - runs mid-8's at LVMS in his street-driven Mustang Cobra.

    Ferrari enzo. (seriously.)

    Back in the day, in high school my truck was the fastest thing on the lot, and I knew how to pick my battles on the street. But after the enzo owner complimented my truck at a light, we had to run them. The outcome of course was predictable. It was awesome seeing and hearing that car going sideways through the intersection next to me.

    Twin Turbo 300 ZX. It slipped up next to me on the highway and started surging back and forth like it wanted to race. I hit the gas and instantly went from 65 to 67 mph, while the 300 turned into a gound-bound UFO. It shot up the highway like it had a JATO rocket strapped to it.

    When my truck was stock, it was beat by a VW Mk5 GTI, but those cars are pretty quick so I didnt worry about it.

    Later, I got smoked by a Toyota Tundra 5.7. Thats when I joined the forum and started modding...

    Drops panties faster than any R/T

    '03 bolt on Termi, put down 49X/525 to the wheels, vs. my old 408 club cab R/T.

    Raced from a 40 roll, it was ugly. He said he was even short shifting, since the owner of the termi didn't know this race took place. He would want to race my truck, I just kept telling him it wasn't worth my time, haha. If only he knew what we did to that thing.

    The owner of the Termi had more money than brains, and loaned it to me for a week to install long tubes. Finished intalling the long tubes in two days, and drove the crap out of it at night the rest of the week with my friend that helped me intall the long tubes. I forget how many miles we put on it, but it was a bunch. Reason we took it out at night, small town, people talk, so we took it out real late.

    In my black truck I went to the track the first night I had it and got beat by my buddies 99 formula. Blue truck I was at the Thursday night drags and got beat by a cammed 03+ silverado. I jumped him hard and he sprayed the hell out of it. Hence the reason for a blower
