Default Got beat by a silverado? video inside

Ok so i need to go through my s2k because i just got walked by a 07+ silverado
I think im down on power will be doing a compression test soon.
Also if you watch closely at 29-30second mark something black tried to hit me in the face. i thought it was my gopro that went out the window ended up being my tweeter from passenger side door panel haha
Previous owner didnt have the best attention to detail he went with a press fit and no wiring to tweeter.

I swear my F150 ecoboost has more straight line acceleration than my s2000. Trucks look big slow and heavy, but with all that torque they can get up and move. The silverado must have been a diesel

I was forced to race one on the highway, and they couldn't keep up with me. I was trying to enter the highway from an entrance ramp and for some reason he felt the need to race me. I had no choice, and it pissed me off that someone would actually want to race me as I'm trying to enter a highway so I was determined to get away from them (damn rednecks) lol. This was starting at 50 mph from a roll, probably different if it was from a dig. I would never street race one, let alone anything else for that matter.

Hmmm Something doesn't seem right. I don't think you should have gotten walked like that. Did you check the motor?

New Silverado's with the lt1 vette engine are no joke and would likely pull on a stock s2k

He may have had some work done to his engine.

He obviously was looking to race, which 9/10 means he had work done.
