Default Nice F-150 kill

Tonight on the way home there was a ecss ford in front of me...never really thought much of it but he did accellerate kinda fast on the onramp so I got next to him on the freeway(very light traffic) and kinda got on it a little just to pull ahead about a fender. Then he jumps forward a fender ahead of my an I go to about 3/4 throttle and hang next to him. he slows dowm to about 60(from 75) and so do I. I noticed a K&N sticker and one other one on his back window. I step on it and go about a legth on him and let off, well then I see his headlight coming so when he got to my door I dropped it and fell back to his rear bumper then came on strong and jogged past himand he gave me the thumbs up as I blew his doors off...haha pretty cool tho....those thing are slow, that is the first one Ive fot to run.

ford trucks arent worth messing with unless they are a diesel, lightning or harley. a normal f150 is a joke. great kill anyways. keep it up

He got the jump and you still "jogged" passed him. Your truck runs high 15s, which is respectable for your truck but I'm guessing he had the tiny v-8 or a v-6. At least he acknowledged your superiority as you passed him. He probabably hit the next exit to go to the chevy dealership and trade his truck in.

Nice, the new Ford is heavy and thus very slow.

it was an older one (the 97-02 i believe) he did get off to and his truck also had a for sale sign in the back window, so Im sure his next one will be a chevy...haha Im in the low 15's btw..

Still won't help much. That's what has delayed the release of the Next Gen Lightning. The new F series are just too damn heavy.
