Last night I was driving home and sort of looking for a race(I'm always looking for a race). When I get to a light with an older caddy that had been driving fast, but not fast enough. Plans were to burn him off the light but not floor it. Didn't even notice the Toyota S-Runner on the other side of me. Light turns green, I take off quick, suddenly look to the right and see the S-Runner WOT. So then I gun it, by this time he has a car length on me. I gotta tell you, I was not gaining much ground on him. Eventually he came up on a car in his lane and the race was over, but he did beat me. I'm sure that if I had been prepared to race from the get go I would have had him. I'm impressed with how fast that truck was. Not sure if he had the supercharger, couldn't hear anything over the sound of my intake. Stock 0-60 time for S-Runner is 7.6 at 190 HP with 225 ft/lb torque. Supercharger brings it to 260 HP. I WANT A REMATCH!!!!

 

It's an S/C!

 

Those trucks are fast! I have seen the supercharged one go up against a lightning.....it lost by 1 car length. I was impressed...

 

S-Runners???? never heard of them before...more info please...

 

Toyota Tacoma 4X2 with a 3.5L 190HP engine and other cosmetic shit to make it look like a sport truck. There is an optional S/C that bumps the engine to 260HP.

 

I hope it was the S/C version.

 

Yup, actually the supercharged is a hidden option for tacoma s runner, tacoma 4x4, and 4runner.. If your getting a truck from toyota make sure you ask them the TRD supercharged option ($mid 2000)..

 

From Toyota.com:
Tacoma S-Runner
With performance-tuned suspension, 16" alloy wheels and low-profile tires, the S-Runner is a 4x2 built to handle a lateral G-load as well as a payload. An available TRD supercharger and Ground Effects Package set it apart from the crowd. For a complete list of mechanical features, visit the Specifications page.

I wonder how it stacks up against the Nissan S/C truck.
