yeah, that's the same thing i was saying......how the hell did he hold the cam and drive at the same time. Its nice to see what our trucks are capable of but that stuff is best kept at the track. I've seen videos of people just trying to show off(stuff like the video above) and end up crashing into cars, or even worse, people.

what a way to break in a truck w/ only 919 miles!! someone else had to be filming b/c i'm pretty sure that was a manual.....and another thing....y's the cruise on?!?! haha

robrjohnson · 03-23-2008, 01:10 AM

I think a passenger is filming. It looks like the camers sits on the right side of the truck and also angles in from the right when focused on the gauges.

Still very dumb. Watching the video, it looks like he can see two dashed lane lines in his light pattern. A DOT reference I found says typical lane markings should be 10 feet long with 30 feet of spacing between lines. So he can probably see 70-100 feet in front of him. At 120 mph, he's moving at 176 feet per second. You figure about 1/2 a second to notice something and 1/4 of a second to react. He'll have covered 132 feet before the brakes even start to slow the truck. Anything that shows up in his headlights will probably be hit near full speed, since he has very little time to brake.

Can't do that in an automatic though ... govenor kicks in just about 115mph... speaking from experience. Only done it once though.

Homer J · 04-09-2008, 06:48 AM

The fastests I have seen is 144 mph video was taken in an X-Runner in Germany so it was legal to drive that fast.

Governor doesnt kick in on an X-Runner until 124 mph.

jtruck618 · 05-24-2008, 08:36 AM

What is the 0-60 time on the Tundra. Say, a 4x4 double cab auto?

turn key method?

aaronatl · 05-24-2008, 03:56 PM

turn key method - n. slang
used when the governer kicks in;
let off the gas for a second,
turn the ignition key and floor it
starter engages and bypass computer.

Toy4Life · 05-24-2008, 04:01 PM

I've long outgrown the need to go 120mph in a car. In a truck, just seems stupid.

I can't imagine that trying this would be good for the longevity of the starter or the flywheel
