War StoriesThis section is for discussion of any races you may have particpated in. If you smoked someone like a pack'o'cools, let us know. Likewise, if you got beat... let us know by what, so we can keep an eye out for it next time.
Well lets first start out with my kill first. i was heading out of town to my property to hunt some 4 legged things with antlers ( for those non hunters whitetail bucks) and i come upon a large hill that you can pass on and then have to merge back into one lane. Well i pass this large truck that was going oh so slow and when i got around him i notice a vehicle up ahead that i was going to pass and then i would be infront of the traffic. Well as i accelerate past the truck and go to pass the car the rice burn with fart sounding muffler puches the throttle and all i see is black smoke pouring from his car well his car takes off and i say to myself no way this ricer is gonna take me like that so i ram that throtte to the floor and i feel the air charger kick in and all of a sudden i am pulling on him and pass him going 85. I look over at him and he down shifts again and nothing so i get in front of him and he tailgates me the whole way down the highway. Obviously he doesn't know that i have a weapon capable of punching large holes in him and the car. Well the next thing you know we are at a light on a two way highway and there are no cars in sight and he wants to race again. So i show him the power of the titan and take off and he has a good launch as well but his burner with turd muffler is no match and when we come to the next light he won't even look over at me and i see his buddy laughing at him. So i just take it easy and he turns off the highway what a punk. Well that is my kill now my buddies kill. My buddy that i want to join on here but says he doesn't have time (bs) was at the gas station and filling up when this guy in a avalanche pulls into the next pump and fills his rig up as well. in the midst of the refueling the driver of the avalanche asks him if that titan is fast and my buddy replies with "it will shake your teeth loose!". the guy then laughs and says that he didn't know that nissan tried to make a big truck. So my buddy says to himself take that plastic chevy and stick it up your as*!. So my buddy leaves the gas station and prepares to head home when what do ya know the avalanche is at the light with him and there are no cars ahead and the avalanche wants to play. My buddy jacks the gas and raises the rpm to 2000 and the light turns green and he takes off with minimal tire spin and the avalanche takes off and he is pulling the avalanche and at 90 he has a 1/2 a truck lead then shuts in down. The guy in the avalanche pulls up next to him and then honks his horn and turns off. those chevy's are soo slow we both had them and now that the 5.3 liter is such a fu**ing dog. And we are sure glad we got rid of them. Well those are 2 kills by 2 different titans!

But I wouldn't call the 5.3 a fking dog..I mean if you only beat an avalanche by 1/2 a truck, that's nothing to brag about. That's a 16.0+ second truck stock. This meaning your buddies titan shoulda had a couple truck lengths by 90 mph.
His story i got from his mouth so he could've beat him by more but i had a 2001 silverado and it was a dog. maybe it was just mine but it wasn't like mine.

The 5.3L in the Avalanche is a dog because the truck weighs so much. Either the Avalance had a good bit of mods or your friends Titan is running well. He should have drug that Avalanche by a couple lenghts. I sure don't think my 5.3L is a dog, it performs very well with only a hand held programmer, CAI, and muffler. Anyhow, good kills.
i was expecting your buddy to totally blow the avalanche away by like 10 truck lengths, lol. when i raced a RR sport (superchaged) i had him by at least half a truck length.
well my buddies titan is just getting broken in it only has 7000 miles on it. But mine has 12200 on it. But he can't even keep up with me since i have the cai it makes a difference.
