Please, please dont venture guesses as to the uses of the Fondue set. The outcome just isnt good.

Its definitely possible. I've raced a lot with my car, and very few people believe that my old POS can outrun the exotics. I've beaten 2 different Lambos, roasted Corvettes alive and schooled Porsches on a regular basis. Granted, its a car not a pickup, but I've seen some fast pickups in my time.

BTC is right though, Euro cars are typically built for the corners and a decently modified truck stands a good shot in the 1320.

Also, dont take posted 0-60s as Gospel. Altitude plays a huge factor and those numbers arent adjusted, they're at sea level and air density makes a difference, especially in Calgary. Not to mention the fact that, while 0-60 is important, in a 1/4 mile race the vehicle, if its decent, will pass 100mph so the second part of the powerband is even more important.
