Raced a Ford Explorer

Last night, plain and simple, i pulled up next to a guy and his girlfriend in a newish style Explorer, V8. I revved mine, made eye contact. Light turns green, i had him so easily. At first i wasnt sure if he was going to race because he wasnt revving, so as soon as i got into second i let off, and my friend sean was yelling to keep going becuase there was still a car length between us, so i mashed the gas again, i won by a good 3 truck lengths! It was so satisfying

After that i pulled into a parking lot, he followed me, and he was a 5.0 V8 with a K&N airfilter, thats all. I had the Superchip, Pulleys, Efan, Catback, Shift Kit, K&N FIPK2, Ignition, and the extra weight of a full size truck..., still whooped his ****! haahhaaa.

ok im done

Look out for the '02 and ups. The 4.6 with the 5-speed auto is pretty quick! I'm supercharged and I was working to stay ahead. Maybe if I'd shifted into fith I would have been further ahead. I stayed in forth in case I need to slow down.

Go against an Aviator.......you'll really be whooped on. I hear Avia's are 7 second suvs.

VERY, VERY GOOD ADVICE! I've had my *ss handed to me by my mother's '02 Explorer with the 4.6. That motor with the 5-speed automatic is unbelievable! I have an '01 F-150 reg. cab, short bed, 4x4 with the 5.4. I thought it wouldn't be a contest, boy was I surprised! Unless your modded, don't mess with a 4.6 explorer!
