Cummins pulls Chevy
 
Stumbled across this and thought it was so ridiculous it had to be shared.

Discuss.

Saw this on reddit not too long ago. Pretty ridiculous... yet funny. If I remember the story, the chevy owner was running his mouth. People who do this are idiots though.

Aw man, I wanted to see a fist fight. WORLDSTAR!

Tug of war with FRS and 2.0T Genesis? :lol:

I... I don't think that was part of the plan.

I was going to skip this based on the sheer stupidity of a tug of war with trucks. I'm so glad I hit play! LMFAO that Dodge driver made it EPIC!

In a strip mall parking lot, no less... What could possibly go wrong?

Only in 'Merica!

I absolutely love my FR-S, but I'd put my money on the turbo'd Genesis.

Same here. I caption it "What's worse than being a big dumb redneck?"

"Being tied to an even bigger dumb redneck."

Just trying to find some perspective, how big are those trucks? For example, how tall would it be from floor to the lower window edge? Because that seems to be the heights of both drivers.

I have no idea how high that would be.

Furthermore, I have never seen a person who can stand fairly straight on the floor of a pickup truck... someone enlighten me, please.:D

BTW, I think the conversation was: if you would do it again.... do it again... but I may be wrong.

Uh, the guy looks like he is 120-130lbs. He's small. I was talking overall size, not just height.

are rednecks aware that they are rednecks?

I knew rednecks in high school that would do this same shit. They throw some damn good desert parties though.

i gotta say, that third was kinda unexpected. figured the vee dub would get pulled slowly, not vice-versa

V10 TDI...it's got torque. Probably a better suspension setup too; see that wheel hop on the Chevy?

Most importantly, it's got traction. The truck wasn't in 4wd and mud tires aren't worth **** on roads. He shouldn't have tried to jerk the tow line. That's what started the wheel hop that ultimately led to the loss of traction.

ZDan 12-29-2012 10:06 AM

Assuming equivalent ability to put power to the ground for a moment, it is all about vehicle mass and grip. I.e., the vehicle with the greater product of weight multiplied by coefficient of friction WINS.

If you can get a jump and start pulling, and the other guy starts spinning, you have a huge advantage since static friction is much greater than sliding/spinning friction.

And some really great traction control.
