Ranger vs 5.0

Where's the thread about a ranger being able to keep up with a 5.0 until 3rd gear? What is the thread called?

I would look under "wishful thinking" or "foolish fantasy".

Are you being serious? My last vehicle was a 5.0, and I can tell you the 5.0 will smoke a Ranger....UNLESS you are talking about a 5.0 in a truck. I had one of those too...and, well...that would be a different story.

No, I want to know where the thread is at on the forums. Of course a mustang would smoke a ranger but somebody thinks that he can keep up until 3rd gear in his 3.0 ranger and I want to find the dude.

Never, take it from the owner of a 1988 LX 5.0 Mustang FB and a 2000 3.0 Ranger SC.
