ummm put your foot on the pedal and put it to the floor,
1.your in an ss/sc
2. he's lifted and is very heavy
3. watch out for 4x4 launch
5.they are not that fast, just lots of torque and short gearing gives him a big head thinking he is fast.

I dont know man. Some of those trucks can be fast. If he has exhaust and is tuned and has some "Engine work" I think he may beat you.

With a little work that Stroke is a beast. Heavy as hell but depending on the mods he could easy walk you. Find out some more info first.

He's only driving an SS/NA. This makes the outcome questionable.

If one does not fail at times, he has not challenged himself - Ferdinand Porsche

Run him heads up. If you lose, you lose. Have good sportsmanship.

you could get whipped, you would be surprised what some of those trucks can do, but completely depends on the truck-will be a toss up-try and see what happens

I'd watch it....usually when people start putting studs on and upgrading injectors they have a little more than just "a little work" done to the motor. These things can be very nasty if built right. Try to get some more details on it first

oops i thought he had an sc. In that case it changes things a bit. I lived in a town with alot of those tuner diesels and didnt run into many that were crazy fast, and i dont really have any mods.
