just got in from cruising down the highway no body was out, my buddy pulls up to me in an 02 gmc sonoma and we raced. just thought id share. to tell you the truth it was a close race i had him by a fender at about 97mph i had her up to 5000rpm's hopefully thats ok for it once in awhile. haha

 

5.4L f150 vs little sonoma = fair match

 

 

4.3 liter V6 in a puny little truck...yeah, it's pretty fair. Power to weight ratio comes to mind...

FYI, for those who aren't "in the know" on the 4.3... it was around 190 HP and 250 torque if I recall correctly from my Ranger days (paid attention to the competition).

They are quite quick.

 

nice! haha... um I see redline all the time! your good!

 

haha well look at your truck compared to mine. what exactly is redline on mine since there is actually no "red" line on the tach

 

you dont want to go past 5400 really... any more and your not making power, and you chance ballooning the converter.

 

Thats what I'm saying, those are fast trucks! My brother has the 4.3l in a reg cab 1500 auto and it flat out hauls! Good kill

 

He never said it was a 4.3...

 

Gotcha logged...

 

Got my *** busted by my buddies 4.3 in a 4x2 SC/SB.

 

It ain't going no where with my Dak... a v6 little truck... compared to a v8 little truck...

The power to weight ratio is just insane.

 

Got embarassed by another buddies 4.7 4x2 Ext. Cab Dak, intake, exhaust and jet chipped, really smoked me good

 

Yeah... I love it...

Today I was driving... going up a hill in 5th doing like 40 mph. There was this little **** Jetta on my butt... so I give it some gas, and next thing I knew I was doing 60 and the dude in the Jetta was hung back there...

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.

 

I would outrun him until half track, then he hooked and gained the length back and then pulled me by a length, all in the 1/8 mile.
