Saturday night around 11:30 I was driving home and i saw these guys in this ford F150. i noticed that they were the same guys who asked me at prom if i thought my camaro could beat their truck. So we got this light and when it turned green i had him by a car right off the line and h never made up any ground. I wasn't happy i beat the truck because i knew i would. I was glad i embarassed those guys who actually thought they had a chance against my camaro.

 

Good kill... way to keep those guys in check

good kill!

 

Some people that drive trucks immediately think they're fast. I'm not sure why. I beat an F150 in the Buick when I had the old engine. A worn out engine and transmission and 2.56 gears and they still lost.

 

Unless the F-150 is either a 5.4L engine or a Lightning, they don't usually have a chance against alot of things. F-150's are about 16-17 second vehicles. Granted stop light to stop light they aren't to bad. There torque is all down in the lower RPM ranges. Since they are designed for towing.

I have a 2002 F-150 and I *know* it won't outrun my Trans-AM.

 

Watch out for the Harley Davidson Edition Ford F-150's I know some have the supercharged 5.4L in them (and they aren't qiute dogs )

wow

 

Believe me, i made sure it wasn't a lightning or a harley davidson before i ran it.

 

The regular 5.4L trucks and the supercharged Lightning and Harley Davidson trucks are no slouches.

 

Yes the Lighting and the Harley Davidson Trucks (Boosted trucks) are quick but the 5.4L N/A F-150's are truely dogs. Sure their faster than a Geo Metro, but they will lose to 5.3L Chevrolets and probably even the 4.8L Chevrolet pick-ups.
The 5.4L ford trucks will lose to L98/LB9/L69 but might be a good race with a LG4/auto car. They are not even close to fast trucks.

"Trucks are slow (unless properly boosted of course)"

I think the 5.4L N/A trucks are ok. But your right they are no match for the higher end 5.0L engines. They beat your average Honda though.
