Default I don't usually... but - 4dr. Fullsize Silverado.

So I don't usually race, but this guy in his lifted Chevy was driving like a gomer. So we ended up next to each other at a light - and me & my wagon let him have it. 4 door 4WD, newest body style (slanted headlights) a major lift, with offroad tires (probably 35's)- you know he's got tons of unsprung weight and rolling resistance. He laid it down, and I had him by 2 or 3 feet, all the way up to the 45 mph limit. Then I let him play tough and take it from there - he knew.

Feels nice to lay into a tough guy with a stock station wagon. Especially when I probably bought my car for what he's dumped into aftermarket...

His suspension was a factor but the wheels are more likely responsible for most of his slow roll. You have to have massive power to overcome the weight and roll distance of the tire. 35's could easily weigh more than 100lbs each wheel and tire, which is not realy a bad thing off road. You're talking about atleast a 6 ply tire and on a lifted truck that size aluminum isn't recomended, unless its all show.
