While driving I must say the only advantage the 6.0 has is its transmission. If the 7.3 had the 5r100 it would be near impossible to tell the 6.0 and 7.3 apart while just driving. Sure the 6.0 has a little more power but it is no night and day difference like people brag about all the time. I believe most of the difference people feel is the transmission itself.
1. Your 7.3 is tuned/modded and you don't know it
2. You are in denial
3. Something is seriously wrong with your 6.0 truck
I've driven quite a few stock and modded 7.3 Superduties. None of them have ever held a candle to a BONE STOCK 6.0 Superduty. Now add in the fact that your 6.0 truck is smaller/lighter than your X....well....

No tune on the 7.3 it is bone stock besides my FRx and AIH delete.
Nothing wrong according to AE with the 6.0 either. No missing, good pressures and temps, drives like a 6.0 should.
Maybe driving and riding in 8-9 second 1/4 mile cars quite often and auto-xing and whatnot has me numb to "slow" vehicles? No idea, I guess I am odd.
There is no way I would let that happen. I would end up in jail before my vehicle got towed for an old tag. Also checkpoints are illegal.

Man, that stinks. Getting pulled over thinking I am good, didn't do anything wrong, and then this happens.. Man I'd be upset.

I have a couple civic projects currently and recently received a 98 civic sedan from the Father in law. I was driving my truck daily averaging 9.5mpg for over a year. In the first 3 days it feels great to look at the gas guage of the civic knowing it will last almost 3 times longer with half the gas. It does take some getting use to on how small it is. Like not using a three point turn to park. 
But the truck will get an oil change this week and some excercise next week camping. (its original intention)

They're good on gas but not THAT good.

Cleaning the Ex to get it ready to sell and notice the spare is 265, aka stock, and compare it to my 245s....
Didn't realize how dinky my tires were until today with no other Ex's around here to compare to. Regret not having atleast stock tires on while I drove it, would have looked so much better.
