I never said I dislike trucks. What I said is, I see no reason to race them..Its not what they're made for.

As for my car, its a 1998 BMW 318ti, with a few modifications (exhaust, intake, cpu, exhaust manifold). It weighs about 2800 pounds with a half-full tank of gas, and me in it. I looked up the specs on the lightning. It weighs 5000 pounds, its much longer, taller, and wider.

With 500hp, it would kill me on the 1/4 mile, but a truck just can not compete with a "sports car" on a race track, IMO. And If I had the 30k that the SVT lightning costs to spend on my 318, I'd destroy it, even 1/4 mile.

I love trucks for what they were built for, and I have used them for such, but I find the idea of tricking them out to race to be silly. Thats all.
