Dad picked me up from school, on our way home, we come to a stoplight... when suddenly a shiny, beautiful Red 2001 Camaro SS pulls up next to us on our right. He revs his engine twice...big, powerful rpms... my dad responds with two weak rpm dashes... meanwhile Camaro guy grins... The light turns green... and the camaro is immediately
10-15 ft ahead of us on the right... camaro guy changes lanes and gives us the finger, but I notice 4Runner isn't revving nearly as much as Camaro...of course he leaves us behind and wins round 1. We reach the other stop light. We pretend not to look at eachother while we wait for the light to go green, camaro guy turns on his radio to show off and lets out a huge rpm roar,... light turns green, when suddenly 4runner engine rpms drown out the music coming from the Camaro. Shockingly, the 4Runner is quicker off the line and the Camaro falls behind!, but presses on, his rpms roaring. Camaro zooms ahead but only matches our position... now reaching 60... 4Runner shifts into 3rd... takes the lead... Camaro pulls up again... inching its way forward...4Runner applies more pedal and reaches 85... Camaro catches up and is a few ft ahead... 4runner shifts into 4th... both vehicles neck and neck, nearing 100 mph... into 5th gear... 4runner is running louder than I've ever heard it... the gap between cars is now 2 car lengths with 4Runner ahead! speedometer needle reaches its limit.. Dad waves at Camaro while honking the horn several times. Camaro guy responds with his finger once again, slows down and takes a left turn, admitting defeat! I had never seen the 4Runner show its teeth like that before! "Its like a Supra with 4x4!" I said to my dad. He replied "wait till the TRD Supercharger arrives at the post office" It was great fun and is yet another testament to the versatility of Toyota 4Runners. I feel like going on a Corvette hunt when the Supercharger and all the other parts we ordered arrive.Cheers,
