Cool

I had an interesting run last night. I was stopped at a redlight at the base of a hill. The right lane is open and a car is slowing down to stop beside me at the light. He slows to about 30 when the light turns green and he is about four cars back. I'm late for work so I nail it off the line and I expect this guy to just drop back and putt along like most of the locals. He doesn't though. The road merges at the top of the hill and we both want to be there first. He got his headlights up to my door and then I started pulling away. I was doing about 75-80 at the top of the hill and he was doing about 65. I know it isn't a big deal to dust a foreign 4banger, but he had a 30mph head start and I was running uphill in a 4400lb truck. I love Torque!!!
By the way, I researched some of those Japanese wonder engines. 240hp and 245lb of torque. Very nice, I'll keep my 250hp and 335lb of torque though!

That was a V6 I would say the 4banger at that horsepower would have even less torque.
