Bewa The Old Lady Driving The Ford Flex
Only a few decades ago a tweaked 5-oh Mustang running 12's was big
news, now seems even the most pedestrian rides are turning 12's. Check out these vehicles powered by EcoBoost. http://www.stangtv.com/news/video-32...e-%C2%BC-mile/ Patrick |

Just so you know, those numbers are extremely close to what my 1993 Cobra ran after being tweaked, and 3.55s, larger mass-air meter and headers were installed. > You can see the dyno sheet he > http://www.johnnystacks.com/gallery/...age_4_Plus.jpg This modern stuff is ridiculously capable. Watched a show the other night they played with [just] the software of a Chevy Suburban. It went from running 0-60 in 8 seconds to 6. Crazy, stuff! > BTW... I love our FLEX! 8^) I'll bet. Have you shocked an unsuspecting street racers yet? Patrick |

Couple off the top of my head: Announcer at Atco: "Here comes that Ford Flex again. It ran 13.6 it's first pass! Some one needs to go down there and check that thing out because that thing appears to be defying the laws of physics!" Couple guys come over in the pits and they tell me, "We have to admit... when we saw you pull in we were LAUGHING AT YOU. We thought, what is that guy thinking? Then you ripped off that 13.4 and we were like, what the hell was that!!!" Had one guy come over that I had lined up against and tell me, "you launched so hard and took off so quick that I FORGOT TO GO!" He had a .8xx RT!

In the race videoes my Flex has the stock exhaust... and in stock form you can't even here the thing running... even at WOT!!! LOL! Visited my good friend Scott Hoag at MRT and we installed their Interceptor system on the Flex! WOOHOO!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmhfomjQsAI And to give you an idea of just how restrictive the stock mufflers on a Flex EcoBoost a Red is stock, Blue is MRT axle back exhaust: http://www.johnnystacks.com/gallery/...1/HP_small.jpg I have beaten a couple of 2010+ Camaro SSs and a few 4.6 S197 Mustangs... I love going to the track on Test and Tune days, when track prep isn't the best and the casual racer is on street tires! LOL! And I just love tell them, back in the pits... "Oh, this? Oh this is just my wife's daily driver, soccer-mobile" Then I open the door and show them the kid's booster seats and the 3rd row seats! LOL |

Yeah, didn't actually get to talk to that guy... but i'm thinking he was at least majorly surprised... What I love is the guys that give up! Had it happen a couple of times. For some unknown reason cutting good lights in the Flex is very easy, so I get the jump at the tree, pull a descent 60' and next thing you know I'm out front... get to the 1000' and they realize they can't catch me and they give up! You can see it in the timeslips! LOL |
