Toyota Tundra V8 vs Corvette (racing story)
yep, a Toyota Tundra V8, a truck against a vette both V8. i wasnt driving, my big brother was. We pull up to this V8 Vette, the 1999+ Vettes. We were on our way to drop off my cuzin and lives in the middle of now where and this road is perfectly straight for 5 miles with a stoplight, and this vette pulls up to us. light turns green and he revs it, we didnt think he would take it seriously. The back wheels burn out on the vette, we had a low launch bcuz we thought he wasnt goin to race us. So my brother revs the Tundra V8 engine hard, i could see and hear the vette had clutched to 2nd and kept going, by this time, i think we were going 90-100 mph. Our Speedo said 110 for topspeed, but i think we went 120, this truck is a rear-wheel drive, no all wheel drive. VRRROOOOMM, we pass him. First ever vette kill. We also have burnt ricers. This Toyota is one strong Toyota V8.

Uh.
V8 Vette huh?...
Just be happy you didnt catch one of those slow V6 Vettes...  There hasn't been a Non-V8 Vette since '54... in '56 they dropped the L-6 and went all V8s. Anywho, I hope you're joking.  Cause a Tundra beating a Vette... Right.

Ok, so you're saying he sat there and smoked his tires while you launched easily, or are you saying he took you off the line and you passed him at 110mph once he had killed you and was braking?

That must be one horrible driver. I raced some guy's father's Tundra with my Z28. He didn't even get me on launch. I beat him by 6-7 car lengths (I gave up after I could barely see him in my rear view mirror). This story sounds like he just gave up.
