Why Would A Four Runner Want to Race Me?
I left a local pizza joint last night, and on the way home some douchebag in a Four Runner wanted to race...not once..not twice...but three times. The first time he pulled up to me and matched my speed, then proceeded to floor and take off. My roommate and I were trying to figure out what the f@#ck this dude was doing. It didn't occur until he slowed down to let me catch up and him jerking his 4R forward with throttle bleeps, did I realize he wanted to race. I never bothered because it was ridiculous, and my roommate & I were making fun of this guy because his girlfriend was in the passenger seat. What kind of douchebag does this? On top of that, what kind of women dates a guy a like this?

What a tool.
At least you don't have retarded lifted diesel trucks (being from Arkansas like I am, you probably know exactly how retarded it is to have a lifted diesel truck - I'm pretty sure nobody in Arkansas can afford a diesel truck unless they are towing a 5th wheel trailer) trying to race you all the time. 400 WHP, 700 lb-ft isn't impressive on a 6000 lb truck.... sorry, morons.

some douche in a g37 coupe tried to race me twice the other night on a road that is in a school zone. He was behind me at the light and rode my *** when it turned green, so i gassed it a bit to get away and he starts trying to race me. I think he was just pissed that his wife made him get the G because he needed back seats for the kids and room for the 100 handbags she buys. not bashing the G, my parents have them, great cars, but anyone street racing is a DBAG

The 370Z seems to bring out the douchebag in everybody. People drive like asshats and try to race us even though my wife is driving 90% of the time. It's worse than when I'm rolling around in the Evo; I drive it around town pretty much how my wife does the Z - like a granny. lol. Saving gas and avoiding cops FTW.

My point wasn't that diesel trucks are slow - if you lived here after having lived in Texas, Arkansas, or any other actual rural, farm-based area, you'd know how retarded diesel guys here are. Who lifts a diesel truck anyway? I think it's a lot more impressive to be able to tow ungodly heavy trailers than to run the quarter mile in 13.8 seconds, with a 14 inch lift and mud tires on. It's just dumb, kind of like the dipshits from Arkansas that try to race you in their tricked out Chevy 1500 or whatever.

More like $1200. Look it up, there are plenty of 6.0 Powerstroke diesels running in the 13s with ONLY an exhaust and tune. If you want to factor in the cost of making the truck reliable with that power. Boost the cost up another $1200 for head studs, that the cost of the studs + labor. When you're all said and done, $2400 you can have a 6.0 Powerstroke running the same time as a Z. Personally I think thats pretty impressive for a 7,000Lbs. truck

A fast diesel truck is an oxymoron. They should be used for towing because that is what they are designed to do, and that's all they can do well. Adding more torque/power to be able to tow more is awesome. Doing the same to run faster in the quarter mile is moronic. Have you ever seen a diesel truck lose control at the strip? It's not pretty. And it happens a lot more often than you'd care to think. Why? Because they're not designed to go fast. End of story.

besides, unless you are going 6 seconds or less in the quarter, straight lines are for p*ssy's.

I'm confused as to what your point is. I despise drag racing anyway. Grew out of that years ago when I found how ridiculous the thrills to $$$ spent on broken parts ratio is.
