had the truck up to 130+ mph last night....on a empty road at 1 am in the morning so hah.......and it pulled pretty hard up until i shut it down. It looked like it had about 1800-2000 rpm left in it. Is it true that they will top out around 142? if so why? they seem to want to run forever! keep in mind my L is stock. It hasnt even had its first oil change yet so.....mods are to come. Thanks Jim

 

well the spedo says 140 and I had my L burried past that so I know they can take out the 142MPH marker. Some of the auto cross L owners have hit 160 on long runs. These trucks rock!!!

 

 

nice!!!

 

stan hits about 180 or so

 

180 in a truck would be a scary ride....180 in a viper on the other hand...HEAVEN

 

That's completely stock. With the basic mods most of us have 150+ is easily achievable... If your crazy enough.

 

I'm plenty crazy enough to handle the speeds -- I am just not crazy enough to handle the cops.

And since I have now, thanks to these boards, learned to be a law-abiding, non-traffic-law-violating, narc-out-anyone-I-see-speeding kind of guy, it's just not possible.

 

 

Still stuck on last weeks post?

is right....

 

so why did ford only run there truck to 147 if its capable of 150+??? jc

 

Jimma:

So we dont get killed and live longer to get another L.

 

 

When you drop the suspension, add a few mods, you can do over 150.

Not that I've verified this. *cough*

Just kidding, guys. That's what the means.

C'mon, lighten up.

Or I'll be forced to report you.
