Have you heard the truck with the engine running?

This is very general advice, but if you don't hear and feel a very deep rumble and lopey cam idle coming from the truck or a very high pitch electric-power drill/dentist's drill-sounding device under the hood (coming from a centrifugal blower), or maybe some hissing from a wastegate when the owner lets off the throttle, than I would say, you stand a very good chance.

Also, look at the tires. Are they wide? High performance?

The first place I look when I want to know how powerful a car is is at the tires. Outside of cars like the C63 -- which has little pencils out back -- most of the time the tires will tell the story.

Of course, you should race off road, on the strip.

He probable knows what you can do 11.6 --12.2 and you have no clue what he can do. Not a good bet! He could have a 10 sec. truck! Run for fun only. At least wait till it 100+ degrees, that will slow him down!!

I agree. Anyone wanting to race for 500 is either bluffing or got a secret. just race for fun for gods sake.

or he could just be able to afford 500 easily.

No way of knowing about all his mods. If he wants to race your car for 500 i think there's a reason for it. Below's a heads up.
