Re: lambo vs. chevy long bed

As much as I love to see trucks win races like this, let's face it when that car was designed 1/4 mile was not even considered. Head out to the open road, a few long straights heading into a twisting valley that's the world it should live in, I bet he was only in second or third gear when he crossed the finnish line. I had a exotic car book years ago, and at the time a Countach topped out at 60mph in first gear, with 5 more to go. Anyone that owns a car like that and takes it too the dragstrip well he's not thinking anything besides "look at me, I have more money then brains". But ya it's always sweet to see a guy like that get smoked, even if it's because I'm jealous cause I don't have one.
