A pick up truck diesel is now assumed to have "sports car" performance now? Wow...

If the pick up truck has torque(not performance mind you) like a Saga or Myvi, it"ll be an extreme slow ass that even a Viva will start honking at the back.

Don't even mention the league of hot hatches, these Triton diesel pickups won't even overtake a normal C segment cars like Altis/Civic/Focus in a straight line. In corners they will run rings around it like a big giant trying to catch a mouse.

Are you listening to yourself?

A pickup truck to make the century sprint at 6.5sec?

You'd need to spend A LOT to make that happen with a pickup truck, which isn't the point of this thread, is it?

Firstly, i don't know how you concluded i "use useless data provided by manufacturer".

Secondly, I am not interested in your rb20. It was mentioned that the pickup truck can be as fast as a GTi. Hence I rubbish that a pickup truck can do 6.5s on a century sprint in stock. (8s is not even reachable)

And then you went on to the mod region.
Even a potong saga can be as fast as you want it if you pour cash on it.
Since you bring out the "mod" topic (which was clearly out of context), do you know what a GTi can do with a stage 1 chip? (at a mere RM 3k, just an ECU Tune)

Honestly, I don't know why I am entertaining you.

it's not surprising that some un-expected cars is fast on the road... i've got outsprinted in a flat out run from the lights by a land cruiser before...but then, that thing has a 2JZ in it spewing out black smoke all the way...

i don't doubt pickups are fast on the road.. but bone stock ones in Malaysia... i doubt it can push you back into the seat as hard as some of the more dedicated petrol head cars even in stock form..

if mods come into the picture.. hell... i think sometime ago someone tried building a superfast isuzu d-max or something like that in Johor that can do 10s quarter mile runs... everything is possible if money is no object..

anyways, kinda out of topic as TS wants something that is exhilarating to drive... not something outright scary if he wants to take it go for some spirited driving...

Whatever Mr Out Of Context

I suggest you go back and find your dusty dictionary that you don't know where you have put them and look for the word "as fast as".

I am done with you. Clearly you are clouded by your own ego.

Now go dig a hole for yourself and stop quoting me. You are not worth my time at all. I am not condemning pickups, and i know you drive a Hilux yourself, but don't get defensive and start accusing me things. Enough of making yourself look like a clown here.

Btw, a clown is supposed to like everyone.
