Usually dont do this.

I usually dont do this in my wifes expy (97') but the other day at a stop light
about 1/2 mile up on a 1 1/2 mi hill this kid (20 somthin) in a chevy silver with
like 22" rims was doing the jerky thing trying to get me to bit on a race, well
it was enough to get me to, so I had the upper hand, he did'nt know i would
but i did and got the advantage off the light and all he could do was play
catch up for the last mile till the next light (yes I smoked him) when I came to a rolling slow down due to traffic in my lane none in his he then flipped me off
and took off, HAD TO LAUGH, PUNK.

I did the same to punk kid back in November. PUnk thought his straight piped S10 was tough. I showed him what a 97 F150 4.6 can do. He didn't like me putting my foot down and pulling away. He even tried to get around me going up a hill, I heard him downshift to try pulling ahead, but that didn't do any good I ended smoking him. What does your expy have for a motor. I'm gueesing it has the 5.4.

I have people try to outrun me and sometimes they succeed but most of the time they fail.

seem after what it did.

I have the 4.6 in mine and is plenty strong for having a little over 197600 on it.

I have the 5.4 in my 05 F150 and I like the power it has, but, soon, that truck will be replaced by a 77 F250 with a 521 stroker so that will have much more power. My Toy....
