Ya you got to watch out for those things. My friend races them all the
time with his GN's. They hook up pretty well off the line, but he
always runs them down (or so I've been told). I don't think I will be
racing any of them, not unless I get a 2WD. 4X4 is pretty quick, but
not Typhoon quick.

Typhoon mean SUV on steroids.......

Subject: DML: Almost Beat By An SUV

Was at the strip again tonight. There's not a lot of fast trucks here in
El
Paso, and usually I'm either the fastest or 2nd fastest on test and tune
night(a guys got a full size Ford with a blower and shows up pretty
regular).
Anyway, I'm in the staging lane next to what looks to me to be a lowered
Bronco with ground effects. I had no idea what a Typhoon was. I'm sure
glad
I cut a good light on this run. He beat me by 2 tenths, but my .550
light got
me there first (my 15.4 to his 15.2). Well, now I know what a Typhoon
is
(turbo V-6), and I won't underestimate one again.
