I find it wierd that the 4.7l v8 pulls great at 800-1500 rpm, then sags off between 1600-2200 pm, and then just pulls from there to about 4600 rpms.

I really with my F150 was like my Dak... omg... I'd go through tires like toilet paper.

Speaking of it... I was at Wally World, and I did left 2 nice black skiddies in front at less than 1,500 rpms. I'm such an attention getter... this guy was like, "Yeah man, that was awesome!"

But I can't help it... I'm used to giving a vehicle gas, and this thing is like... um... just lightly touch the gas pedal and it will still peel it's tires.

Hate to be driving it in the winter though.
All this and yet you carry a log book with plate #'s busting others who you think drive like idiots. Amazing...

Have you run your "quere of the month" to find out the "Top 10" perpatraitors for the last month.

I raced a 98? ish Sonoma with my ol' 88 Crown Vic once. The retard asked me what's under the hood, I said it's a 150 hp 302 We raced and raced and I beat him like a red headed step child. Then at a light he thaught I was tailgating and wanted to fight, actually got out and went up to my door. When he saw the size difference from me to him, he backed off quick. I offered to smack both him and his friend around but all I got was some scared chickens, go figure.

A good fair race was my truck vs a 2wd GMC reg cab short box. It must of had the 4.8 because I took him out of the hole and it was a while before he caught me very slowly and he just won. By this time we were freakin flying, like easily 180 km/h in the city.

I had a friend with a 2.2l s-10, it made the 4.6 f-150 look fast. If this Sonoma was hanging with a lightly modded 5.4 It had to be the 4.3l

I had one of those S-10s do a ricer fly by on me, after pulling away from a stop light one day. I caught him at the next light. He rolled down his window and asked, "We're you racing me back there?"

I asked, "What do my license plates say."

Him: "Hell, I don't know."

Me: "You would if I'd been racing you."

When the light changed, he lit off, with tires squealing. So did the fully dressed city patrol car that had been right behind him at the light.
