Man that is hands down the cleanest newer body style silverado ive ever seen. Looks like you put alot of work into it. The hood is gonna look mean, and the charger can back it up.

Its funny this topic always comes up. The new Tundras were designed here in torrence california by Americans. Built here in the United States. Pretty sure most of the parts are built here too. The Jobs are here so that puts some money back into the economy. I know most of the profits go back to japan, but how many jobs has toyota created by building here, which cant hurt the economy. So whats the definition of import. Something thats made here, or the orgin of the brand? I know I know, bottom line toyotas are imports, but i just dont like thinking that my American made truck is in the same category as a hyundai, you know?

its all prefrence man, they dont make SS's, lightnings, or srt10s anymore so i went with the next best thing for performance in a truck, a RCSB tundra. If Ford, and dodge made better vehicles then they wouldnt have a problem selling. Not too crazy about the new silverado looks, but the previous gen, the one the SS is based on is one of the nicer looking trucks out i think.

look man, i can tell ur super new to the forum. these guys arent really sweatin the s/c cause most of them have been there done that. goto the f-150 forum and preach there. show them what a 500 hp truck should run, not that joke of a sports truck saleen or roush thy have. some of these guys are running faster than stock Z06's.

Its amazing how much dealerships will mark up prices when something new comes out, and even more amazing what people are willing to pay. Not on my salary.

The thing about our tundras is...they will never have a 1/4 of the aftermarket that Chevy has. It doesnt take a whole lot to get an SS as fast as or faster than a 5.7 Tundra. Mod for Mod We cant win. So you put a $7,000 s/c on and beat a few. They have a couple s/c available plus more than one tuner. You got a guy like chase running 11s when the trd blower gets us into the 13's. Even a RCSB would be lucky to hit low 13's, maybe 12's with Nitrous added on, but who would be crazy enough to do that...

at least you can get them to play, ive been stuck at more than a few red lights with hemis and none wanna go.

Damn bro, thats sweet, those newer G35s are fast, def. a mid to high 13 sec.

at least once a month. hit me up next time your gonna go.

hey man, im headin out to fontana tomorrow to try out the 1/4 for the first time, you gonna be there by any chance?

I can take my dads 08 gt by about 1/2 a length up to 70. never pushed it past that, but it feels like id pull more if we kept going. only probalem is my truck tops out at 115, im sure the mustang is much higher.

mid to low 14s

Nope. Basically the same 5.7 thats in the regular r/t, hemi ram, rumble bee ram, daytona ram, daytona charger..and on and on. The same engine with different paint and different price tags. Same performance, although in the charger i think the daytona has an intake bumping it up a whopping 10 hp.

Hmm guess theres more than one. Just thought it was a custom sticker or something.

he doesnt live in the LA area does he, ive seen a lightning on the freeways around here a couple times with that sticker. Unless there's more than one.

dude....that is the single most awesomest sticker ive ever seen on a truck, and i dont even know if awesomest is a word.

I think 14.18 is the record at tundrasolutions for a stock RCSB 5.7. I hit a 9.175 the other night in the 1/8 which is like a 14.2 (est.) but thats with intake and exhaust. But you know how it goes, no 2 trucks run the same, even with the same mods.

yeah, you know it might be weird coming from a guy who owns a tundra, but regardless...If you call some one out to race and you lose, dont start bitchen and making excusses. If he new that the those tires and rims where heavy, they he shouldnt be calling people out. I wouldnt challenge an SS personaly unless I knew what exaclty the other guy was running. Although Stock for stock, the tundras are faster, the aftermarket for SS's is huge, while we are limited. I mean i think the fastest tunda around is in the low 13s with 100 shot of N02, while you have guys like chase in the 11's.

nice kill. what cab configuration was it? if your in the 13's tundras shouldnt be a problem for you. I think it takes headers, intake and exhaust to get us into the high 13's, if that.

thats cool bro, anytime man just hit me up with a PM if you can make it. loser buys beers.

yup, you down to roll. ive only been there once. its an 1/8th mile but better than nothing.

hey man ill be at irwindale tomorrow if you want a run. probably around 5ish. Ill be the slate grey tundra with the social distortion sticker on the back if you can make it.

cool im down it be cool to meet you all.

yeah, your the guy i was talkin about. 13.9....13.8 whats the diff lol. Yeah the cop that pulled me over didnt give me any compliments, just a pissed off look. BTW, kinda wanna appologize, didnt mean to turn this into a pissing contest. I realize im a guest here, being that i dont have an SS or a chevy period, so im sorry if i stepped on anybodys toes. You guys all seem like cool people that have spent alot of time and money into your trucks, and i hope that the aftermarket for the tundras is half of what it is for you guys some day so that one day i can say i raced and smoked chase. lol

ill pass on chase...
