Dusted a Toyota today...

Well it had to happen. Someone wanted to challenge me from the STOP signs which are at every corner in Summerlin (suburb of LV.) He implied he could beat me by digging out from our first parallel side by side. At the next corner he waited and I knew he wanted to play. I don't know what he was driving except it was a big SUV and made by Toyota. Well I gave him the intersection lead and then floored it...went by him like the wind! (BTW...I had the A/C off and the sunroof cracked since it is only 73 here today.) I didn't wait for him at the next stop sign and never saw him again except in my rear view mirror...all of a sudden he was a slow driver...

I don't usually do that kind of thing but I had to road test this Beast so I can report to the forum any problems...

This thing is scary, especially with the A/C off....

That drag chute sounds like a good idea...this 550 can really move out for such a big and heavy vehicle.

That cruiser !

550 is way too much for that Land Crusier. to handle. Even a 450 would be an over kill. A 320 may stay head to head (Stop and go)

My SA told us not to floor it before we hit 1000 miles. Still waiting to see what she can do all out. However, I've goosed the accelerator a few times, and it moves RIGHT NOW.
