That was the car. He had 2 passengers in the truck. I was in the car by myself. He was talking junk. I said, "okay, let's run 'em." We lined them up. I jump a half car length ahead right from the get go. I go all the way through 1st gear and he is exactly a half of car length behind me. I go through 2nd gear. He is still a half car length behind me. We raced all the way up to 90 mph. That would pretty much equal a 1/4 mile. Well, I only got him by a half car length and I think that was due to me getting a better start. I think we would have ran identical 1/4 times if we would have launched even. I have a new found respect for my friend's Tahoe. :( My excuses: I had a warm engine. I had a speaker box in the trunk. You know what? I have no excuses. I am just sadden by this. I seriously thought that would be able to pull atleast a full car length on him. Please make me feel better by telling me that those SUV's run a low 15 1/4 mile. lol In reality, I think they run about a 16 flat. Thanks for reading.
