I think you're underestimating how fast his car is. That truck is probably making around low 500s to the wheels if I had to guess and weighs a lot more. Not to mention the fact that it's a giant brick when it comes to aerodynamics.
for some reason i love smacking trucks. where im from, they are abundant and drive like theyre hot shit. had one a new f150 try to speed up to block me from merging in from an ending lane, had to dust and to make him learn. was stock at the time.
