Highway Race

[vipervenom]

Well me and my dad were driving back from chicago(we live about 2 hours south of chicago) and we were on the highway minding our own business when a ford lightning pulled up next to use. I looked over and just smilied at him and told my dad to smash it. I think we hit about 80ish and we were ahead by about a car length. But then he got off and we went on about our day.

Then we were on the highway again driving into town and a mustang pulled up and looked at us like he wanted to race. I turned our music down to hear it and it sounded like he put some money into it. Well he took off but we couldnt becuase of this stupid van.:rolleyez: We got around the van and cought up with him and then smoked him .:driver: I think we were in the 90 to 100 range by the time we finished that race

My dad was driving in both those races
That are our only good races so far. I have had a few but nothing amazing.

Bro, be careful doing that stuff. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but I've seen A LOT of totalled X-Runners from young drivers posted on the forums. Realize the power and torque that you have and don't be foolish with it... or you may not have that sweet ride to drive around (and pick up chicks in!) :biggrin:

I just don't want to see another wrecked X - or even worse for one of our bros to get seriously injured.

not to rain on your parade either but if either was actually racing u ...assuming the mustang was a v8 you wouldnt beat either...wish we could but we cant

I agree with Morcheez...I don't think a stock XR can beat a stock Lightning. Same with a Mustang. I think even a stock Mustang with a V6 might even beat the XR. Now spyder might actually be able to beat 'em with his URD S/C (I am jealous!). Now if the XR and the Lightning or Mustang were racing on a super windy road...then XR would probably have a good chance...CAUSE OUR HANDELING ROCKS!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

 

[Stevenredx]

Im gonna have to say that we can take V6 rust stangs.. i have personally jerked them from stop lights.

reminds me of a ricer.......:laugh:

you wouldnt have a chance in hell against either....

:dito: i ran a lightning for fun i kept up with him till 3rd after that he started pulling

 

[vipervenom]

i also thought the lightning would pull ahead use but it never did ( he may not have wanted to go as fast as my dad) and for the mustang i have no idea what was in it ... i just sounded good. All i know is that we pulled ahead of both of them.

well it doesnt really matter now does it. you beat him. he obviously wanted to race your dad and if he didnt want to go as fast as your dad...don't race to begin with!

Good for you man. They weren't necessarily kills so I don't know what everyone is gettin all worked up about. These trucks have pretty good torque so I can believe it.:top:

 

[vipervenom]

thnx and i would agree, they werent kills, just some messin around

ive taken pre 05 gts and V6's. im not stock, but i think i might be throwing up some of the highest N/A HP numbers...but they're still beatable. The 05 gt generally beats me if it's a good driver, close if they're not so great, and if they're automatic it really just depends on how i drive. From the hole is harder than say, 60.

 

[wshsbears]

i have to call BS on a V6 stang of any year being able to take a xr. i've torn apart about 10 of them since i got my 06. as for the new gt's, i am head to head from a stop. havn't raced any from a roll. i am faster than a lightning until the top of 3rd gear and then they're gone. i've raced 2 lightnings in the past month and it was the same turnout. yes it depends on the driver of the stand/lightning, but also, it depends on the driver of the x.

I would LOVE to run against a lightning, just to see how it would end up. Hopefully ill be going to the track in the next few weeks here, i hope theres one waiting there for me :biggrin:

Especially since ill have drag tires :rock:

I kept up on a lightnings tail on the freeway one night. But off the line i got him through second gear. From what I've seen with a S/C they don't stand a chance.:driver:

Hey spyder, theres a red one out here who drives west on the I-10 into Phx everyday with license plate "thundr". Stay away from this cat he's very dangerous. He starts like it's friendly but if he starts to lose he gets dumb and uses traffic against people. :motz: I'm not much on street racing, but definately down for the track.
