Nah, the V6 guy's are are allright in my book, the only 4runner I've had the pleasure of going up against was another V8 and with mine being supercharged I pulled away like he was standing still. What was priceless; was the look on the guy's face last week in a skyline GT. I don't think he expected to get smoked by a SUV! He wouldn't even make eye contact with me after. LOL

I have yet to run against another 4runner. I can pull away from a lot of vehicles in it though. My wife was driving it once while I was behind her in my truck. Went by her like the wind......Of course my truck took a Mustang Gt door to door, and I had 2 clicks left on my Six-Gun. Let's just say all it took was two clicks to get him pretty upset. I would be upset two if I was taking my girlfriend for a ride in my new muscle car and an 8500lb. truck just blew my doors off! Back to the 4-runner, I tried to break the tires loose, but have only been successful on slightly wet pavement. And they didn't stay broke for long, hooked right back up.

Hate to birst your bubble but the Skyline buddy was driving had to be a piece of crap or something. I have a 2008 v8 runner and it could not hold a candle to a Skyline a buddy of mine at work has. It is an older one that he imported into Canada from Japan...The thing is re****ed fast....It is such a sleeper too....It doesn't look like anything really and it would eat 5 litre mustangs etc for breakfast...totally unreal how crazy it is...

Just sold my 05 v8 due to mileage. Then I couldn't find anything I liked to replace it in SUV or wagon form with better mileage so I got the exact same 4runner as my old one but V6. After 2 weeks, I do miss the V8 sound but I'm getting 3mpg more with same driving and I expect a little better all highway on trips. I'm hoping the resale value in two or three years will make a difference. It is like an electric motor with stock exhaust. Was it worth it...I'm not sure yet but I do have to say the V6 has surprised me. Jumped on it at a light and on dry pavement, broke tires loose a little and 60 seemed to come quite fast for what it is. Anyway, got to swap wheels and other items to boot. If it wasn't for towing need, I would have bought either a 05 subaru Legacy GT limited wagon stick or and 05+ audi a4 avant with an extended warranty!:biggrin2:

You're not bursting my bubble, the guy was trying but couldn't pass me. Maybe smoked was exagerating a little and maybe he was a $h!tty driver? All I know is; we rolled on a gradual 2 lane on ramp side by side and I matted my truck to the floor boards. We were side by side for a few seconds,(he clearly knew what my intertions were) then I started pulling away and my speed governor kicked in. I lifted and when he caught up (didn't take to long at 110 plus) he didn't want to play any more? I've owned plenty of quick cars (late model corvette and modded camaros) and I'm not stating my 4 runner is a race car by any means. It just surprises a lot of people with the supercharger.Dbone said:

Oh, my bad man...I never really picked up on the fact that you have a supercharger...
Think you could take the new Skyline GTR coming out? 0 - 60 in 3.5 seconds
How much HP/torque gains are you getting on your 4runner with this supercharger? Just curious...
Cheers
