Possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen

So I'm taking off of school for a week to hang with my brother cuz his wife just left him. I went out tonight to get some food and there were a bunch of min truck guys hanging out in the Mcy D's parking lot. Not being one for mini trucks, I kinda laughed it off...until I saw a Syclone. I've always loved those things...a turbo'ed V6 truck with AWD. It's a thing of beauty. I talked to the owner and asked him about his mods...bigger turbo, fuel system, ported heads, transmission & suspension mods, etc. So I ask if he wants to line up...not for money or bragging right...just for shits and giggles. So we lined up at a light and then it happened. I launched hard becuase the turbo is now off of the car until I can buy a new one and I figured I wouldn't need to worry about a wheelstand. But here's the thing...this guy launched hard too and DID pull the wheels about 1 1/2"-2" off the ground. I've NEVER seen that from a Syclone/Typhoon (and I used to have a friend with a Typhoon so I've been to quite a few Typhoon/Syclone drag meets). We pulled back and forth on each other until about 100mph and we were about dead even so we shut it down. Once we got back to the parking lot I just had to shake this guys hand. Even with a 1000lb advantage I still couldn't pull on him. I'm just sad I couldn't have taken him on with the turbo still on the car.
