Replaced my crashed RA with...

well as everyone knows, i got in a bad accident back in september of 06. totaled the RA so it needed to be replaced. picked up a 07 Toyota Tacoma Xrunner. the truck is a 4.0L V6 with a 6-speed stick behind it. very nice upgrade from the ralliart. and it will outhandle the ralliart from the factory, along with a 350Z. it pulls .90 g's in stock form. here it is, if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.



and this is what it replaced.

I've heard those trucks really handle well. Any specs on them, besides what they pull on the skidpad? 1/4 times? Price?

This truck looks to be the sportiest truck on the market right now, the next best thing to a Syclone.

thanks for the compliments everyone.

price: $24,450 sticker
0-60: 6.7-6.9seconds
1/4 mile: 14.9-15.6 depending on driver,conditions, and location.

TRD has not released a supercharger for the 4.0L tacoma yet. they are waiting til the release of the 07 tundra with the 4.0L in it so they can do everything in one shot. the big brake kit would be nice, but i dont want to spend $2300 on front brakes alone, when the rear is still drum. i can get a disc setup for the rear for about $1,000 though. so far i have a k&n drop in filter and magnaflow exhaust with the 2nd set of cats removed. woke the truck up a lot with just putting on the exhaust. the truck pulls like you wouldnt believe on the freeway.

yeah, i love my truck, it gets looks from everyone because noone has any idea what it is. and if they know its a tacoma, they usually have no idea that its a v6 6-speed.

i ran a 95 5.0 GT mustang today, he had exhaust and intake and i just have a k&n drop in and a magnaflow muffler. we ran from about 40-100 the first time and i put about 3 cars on him. from a dig i put 2 cars on him by about 100.
