Lenard Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I was sitting at a stop light saturday night and had a brand new 4 door powerstroke sitting on my left side. While we were sitting there a wreak took place but I couldn't see it cause the powerstroke was in my way, so the light turned green and I gave the ol mj some gas to get ahead of the powerstroke so i could see the wreak. The next thing I heard was the turbo kick in on the Ford and him downshift, so steped into the the gas a little more untill I had it floored, and so did he, we ran neck to neck for a bit then I started pulling away from the Ford untill I was a car length away before the Ford guy ever let up. we were running 65 by this time. Even with the crappy combo of Auto/3.55/and 31" tires,it still put a big smile on my face when I out ran the Brand new Ford :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So you initiated a drag race with another vehicle in order to get a good look at a car wreck? Some people never cease to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MjAllTheWay Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Not trying to start nothing jest saying if it was a 6.0 or 6.4 powerstroke i couldn't see even a MJ with 4.10 gears with 31s being able to beat a Powerstroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Back in 1994 driving a GMC 3500HD dump truck with a Vortec 454 and 5 speed stick I blew away a Ford Escort with a body kit that was trying to show off. Imagine that, an ESCORT. With a BODY KIT! :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenF350 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 My daily driver is a 6.0 powerstroke, say what u will about them, but it gets up and goes. I also have a comanche w/ 3:55's, and all Ill say about this topic is that theres just no way my comanche would pull on my diesel. I mean no way. At all. Ever. Period. It seems :nuts: but good kill !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landlubber Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I've beaten and F150 with a 4.6 pretty badly before, that being said, my dad has a F250 that hauls when you really lay into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 My MJ drives circles around my Caddy. One of these days I'll get it off the jack stands and then we'll see. 1968 DeVille 520CI Turbo charged 1988 MJ, 2.5, NA, 5spd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilotblake Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I have a 6.0 F250. For the size of the vehicle you are moving it still makes me smile. Plus with the exhaust and loud turbo whine, you can't beat it. I am an aviation guy so maybe that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kro10000 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Nope, its got an all stock (besides header and intake) rebuilt motor with less than 10k, against my tired 200000k MJ on 31s with 3.07s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenard Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Never mind the fact that Ford weighs twice as much as your MJ. never mind the fact that he has a Diesel and a $#!& ton more horse power. So you initiated a drag race with another vehicle in order to get a good look at a car wreck?Some people never cease to amaze me. No i tried to get to see it, he's the one that wanted to race, so why not? I have a powerstroke myself and i have my Comanche with 3.55 gears and 31s but I'm guna have to say my 7.3 powerstroke could kick the MJ all day All night and anytime ever.try reading it again, I said BRAND NEW Ford. they don't put the 7.3Lin BRAND NEW Fords. :fool: (wish they still did though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james750 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Somethings not right with those specs. A turbo diesel can get to 60 way faster than 9 seconds. My 91 accord with 300000 miles can beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
