Had some fun today

I was cruising down the road and came up to a stop light and there was a v8 dakota and a single cab Siverado sitting at the light. Well the light turned green and they took off racing to the next light the dakota was a little ahead. So we got to the next light and there sitting there reving there motors and im just sitting next to em. They had no idea that i was going to race em

The light turned green and i pushed the go pedal to the floor and whooped both of em by about a truck length .

Got to the next light and they were wanting to race again, so the light turned green and i waited about a sec or two and took off and still beat both of em.

Gotta love a ford haha.

Im not the drag race type with my truck but every once in a while i get that "teenager" in me .

i think what helped me was the limited slip and the BFG's. I can floor it at a stop and it grips and takes off doesnt even spin the tires. With my old Continetals i would spin both rear tires until about 25 or 30.
