Why waste your money on a truck, and then whine about getting spanked by a car weighing a ton less then you? Trucks were not ment for racing, even if they do have a V-8. Unless your doing short drags and challenging cars towing something, your going to get spanked. I know I have a 300Z now, but even before that, I used to have a 4 cylinder Ford Probe. Granted yes, I did do a few mods, mainly full custom bent exhaust, headers, custon intake, new MAF, injectors, and some other mods I came up against some chicken head in a Black V-8 Dakota one day with a loud ass exhaust thinking all that noise was power, well, needless to say, I handed his ass to him and even played with him a little bit. We even did this again at another light with the same outcome. Stop fooling yourselves and get a sports car if you want something fast, Dakotas are nice trucks but not fast trucks. Good luck!

You know a Plymouth Belvedere was a family car until they put a Hemi in it. As were alot of other cars. It's about what you want to use the vehicle for and doing what you can to reach that goal. Yea trucks except for a few are not meant to very fast as compaired to cars, but with money, knowledge and effort they can be. Look at what Stacy David did with project Copperhead on Trucks TV. It can be done with any vehicle, car or truck.

I just want to chime in on the import subject and not get flamed.
my buddies room mate has several cars to his name
including lotus exige? sp. toy supra and saleen mustang (that he built) cause he did'nt want to pay the dealer price on what he wanted.
Now this guy has money fall'n out of his ass.
And can afford pretty much what he wants.
NO ONE and I mean no one will play with the Lotus,
so in came the supra as a play pretty.
Some twenty grand or so later the supra got a very scary transplant. He left the car body pretty much stock and added one of those damn two foot high wings thats all so popular around here.
His whole idea was to make a supra look like some dumbass got it and was driving it. It worked REALLY well. now he cruses the street in a 600HP Supra thats not even pushing its limit.
The street kids hate him, and I think he's going to have to paint his car a diferrent color and ditch the wing.
My whole point to this is that most rice is really poorly built stuff from some kid that saw fast and furious. But there are a select group that do know what they are doing.Even though I like to cook rice ocasinaly, sometimes you'd better pay attention to what's beside you! Some of these cars built right can be very impressive.
Pick you're races carefully.
BTW I am a proud RC Dak V8 5spd that wont hang with a lotus or supra owner!
