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.
OK Locke my BS meter just went haywire.

What is your POS? It better be a damn fast one, otherwise you didn't beat no Lambos. Porsche Boxter maybe, but Lambos, Ferraris and 911s are in a class of their own compared to most cars.
