More Vids of the Exhaust

This is partially in response to that stupid Trucks episode where they said a stock F-150 couldn't do a burnout...not

Someone else asked if I had some acceleration vids...

From stop to 45 MPH

Rolling @ 20 MPH to 85 MPH with WOT

Burnout #1 - It's kinda weak

Burnout #2 - More smoke

I've got 3 brakestands under the trucks belt now...no more. Those Wrangler AT/S don't look to happy with that abuse either...oh well. it was fun

Thumbs up

3.73? I've seen a lot of these trucks with the LSD have problems with burnouts. A little disapointing for 385ft.lbs. of torque stock, but it looks like you have the suregrip. Makes me feel better about my 4.2. I could just fry the stock tires, and even though it isn't LSD it would burn them equally. Now with 3.55's and the toyo proxes s/t tires it sticks like glue. 75% of the people on Youtube are A$$H@!ES, one of them already commented your video.

yep, 3.73 LS rear-end

that's fine...they can do it all they want. I'm not some stupid 16 year old driving daddies truck. I paid for my truck and I want it to last for a long time. That's why the 3 brakestands I've done is the limit.

Wait until I buy tires for my Mustang. I've got to "use" the old ones up...maybe I can get one of those huge smoke clouds all those idiots are after.

I wonder if the ABS, throttle by wire, and refined front/back brake ratio all consipire to make a burnout less likely / less spectacular than the hp & tq numbers would suggest?

not really, if you're willing to keep the gas down, you can do one heck of a wicked burnout...it just depends on how much you hate your truck. I'm not comfortable with mashing the brakes hard, so I kept creeping forward.

also, unlike alot of people, I did mine on dry asphalt...try it on concrete, or better yet, wet concrete with a little bleach...you can create your own weather cell

never seen flames, but the bleach makes the rubber brake down a little and makes it easier to produce smoke...so you only do it on tires you never intend to drive on again

the 20-85 time was okay, and it was alot quicker than those "car" sites that go out and review vehicles. I beleive the 0-60 time is ~9 seconds according to most of those testers. Granted I was at a roll, but I find it hard to believe 9 seconds to get 0-60. more like 7 seconds

I may have to go and get me a stopwatch

just be careful with that bleach. after you have your fun, make sure to rinse the body off and/or wash/wax the truck. that stuff can do a number on the finish if allowed to sit there
