Normally I wouldn't post a kill thread; but, this is a little different situation. Today I was on my way out to eat. I pulled around a slow driver (The Tundra). There was Vette in front of him a little farther up the road (C5). I pulled around the vette at 55 and he matched me wanting to run them. I agreed and proceeded to show him my tail lights to about 100. He dropped back a couple of lengths. Well, I slowed down and a few seconds later, look in my rearview and am surprised to see the Tundra grille on my *** tight. I shake my head in dismissal and continue to ride at the speed limit. He pulls up beside me and is giving me a hard time; so, I say why not. I tromp on it and start waving Buhbye as I steadily walk away from him... Only about as fast as I walk my friend's stock Lightning!


Those things are pretty sweet for a big truck. Watch out stock L drivers.

 

Two kills on a lunch break aint bad. I usually dont go lookin for trouble but if someone comes callin' then usually I will indulge them. Dont you wish you could just see the look on their face as you walk the dog on 'em.

 

We have one in our family and unless you are talking about the 2007 model (which I have not raced or driven) they are no competition for a stock lightning even when they are modded.

Not a bad truck tho.

 

What else would I be talking about? That's the truck that's getting all the hype these days. I'm here to tell you, it's well deserved.

 

07 model 381hp 400tq.

 

they're running mid to high 14's at the track

 

I only played with him on the roll at 55+. He was pretty strong up there, for a heavy crew style cab truck. I wonder how much faster the TRD supercharged version is?

 

stock L's are faster than stock 07 tundras, in 0-60 i think its about a sec faster, mainly because the tundra is heavier

a new lightning is needed before toyota tries to play its game

 

Are you on a built block Odin?? What are your mods??

 

Stock block whipple. (And appropriate support mods.) 500/600 at rear wheels.

 

That's the 'crew' cab like I ran into. I haven't seen any numbers on a reg cab 2 wheel drive model. Imagine that truck against a stock L. You can get one with cheap, too.

Now imagine it again with the TRD supercharger thrown in on top of it. If someone was wanting a brand new Lightning, Toyota has one waiting for you. LOL

 

Someone posted a while back seeing a brand new tundra regular cab, short box pullin' a 14.2 1/4.. bone stock.

You better hope some of the Regular F150 guys (Non SVT) don't see this thread. They be on it complaining and bitchin' in no time.

 

The crew cab has a 0-60 of 6.1 seconds which is pretty damn close to a stock Lightning of 5.8 (01-04) and 99-00 of 6.2. I heard that the regular cab with the 381hp engine is still a few months away.

That truck has an incredible engine but from a design standpoint, its really *ucking ugly. The interior, dash... is very odd especially the Camry steering wheel. But the japs learn very quickly and unlike the Detroit 3, they have the cash to do anything they want.

Sales of them aren't doing too well as Toyota has already put incentives on them. Very unusual considering they have been out for a few months.

 

umm i thought the Ls were doing like 5.2 or 5.3

and ya the regular cab tundra is uglier than the crew cab tundra

and they aren't selling them that good, to radical of a design

 

The April edition of Motor Trend tested a 07 double cab 4x4. Weight was 5845 lbs and traction was the issue. Lock the hubs and they came away with a 0-60 of 6.0 and a 1/4 mile of 14.6. 14 MPG and 381HP on regular unleaded and a base price of 39,195 . I'm no Toyota fan, but that is moving for a full size 4x4. It will be interesting if they add a super charger to the 2wd standard cab.
