My friend has a 3.4 TRD Supercharged Taco too but it's an automatic but still pretty fast, 265 HP with the Supercharger.

I just hate the guys who put on 18-20" rims, the coffee can muffler, and lower their car to the ground, then think they are hot $#@%. One of these days I might "accidently" drive up on their hoods.

Especially since i removed the governor, we took it all the way out to 147 ( my max speed at redline ) with my truck just a little bit in front the whole way!-- ok maybe i shouldnt say i beat it by a lot, but it didnt beat me in any gear. There is nothing i hate more than stock domestic car owners thinking that their cars are faster than anything on the road
just because it has 8 cylinders. glad to hear that story about the WRX--but those cars are crazy around corners.

If you corner them and ask specifics you can usually get it out of them they they paid some shop to install everything for them and all they know how to do is jerk the wheel right and left and apply pressure to the pedals, oh, and also maybe when to hit the button, only because the shop guy told them when to hit it.

I know for a fact that over half of my friends that have "rice rockets" could own a mustang Cobra nevermind a GT

Having owned a few fast cars myself, I thought I would add that in my experience ALL mustangs '94-'98 are the laughing stock of the racing community. They are almost NEVER fast, and a "fast" one of those years will bearly break into the 12s, woofrickinhoo...
The new ones are better, but with the great quality control down at ford, sounds like no more Cobra's will be produced anytime soon and those that already went out can hardly go down the road at 55mph! :eek:
fyi ~ my ricerburner eclipse NEVER ONCE lost to ANY domestic, EVER. Including a SC'd charger (70's era) and so many fbody's and 'stangs I can't even count.
11s at 120mph....got rice?

I'll tell you, thats very impressive, i just got rid of my 2002 Mustang GT and there's no way in hell a 265hp 3500 truck could have beat my 260hp 3200 car with 300lbs of torque up to 100mph, much less up to 147. I took that car up to 145 and it was scary, i would love to see the look on someones face doing 147 in a pickup. Keep in mind that is only a GT, the 01 Cobras came with 320hp and destroyed my GT, I'll guarantee you there's no way a supercharged taco 3.4 will beat any Cobra (cept for maybe the 15 year old (fox body) stangs. I've seen alot of them from 95 (aftermarket installs) up to the 03 (factory installed s/c) and they all have no less than 400hp. As a matter of fact i have some videos of many mustangs racing, some win, some lose, but never have they lost to a truck, The famous Cyclones with awd were great 0-60 but they still couldnt beat many cars up to 140ish because of aerodynamics.

well thats cool, but the problem with your argument is that you claim to know how much power my truck is making and the curb wieght also ( your wrong on both accounts )
i make 300 at the flywheel and my truck wieghs less than a mustang by 450lbs-- i have the 2wd, no 4wd parts and less wind drag. not to mention that im running 45series tires on 17" rims.
The mustang could have been a poser with all cobra crap and no engine ( all the wings and body kits and emblems and such ) but ive never seen a mustang do anything amazing at a track. lowest i ever saw out of a crustang was an 11.9 with 14" wide tires and a blower.
the reason your car is scary at 140mph is because it was a domestic car and it probably shakes a lot. My truck doesnt shake at all-- smoother than butter, the problem is that i run out of rpms before i run out of power-- if i had a 6th gear, i could go much faster.
tim
( by the way, supras with the governor removed can go over 200mph )

ur insane do u know that? Not trying to name call but WOW. I have a great video of a 10 sec Supra that ran his mouth way too much about being a Viper Killer even had a license plate that said it. He was beat fair and square at the track 4 times in a row by said Viper. Do you know what a Viper GTS with only a 200 shot runs? Tens that's what. Yes i do know plenty of people with highly modified "Rustangs" that will hand many ricers their arse. However we all know that many vehicles can be made very fast with enough money, i've seen a civic (body was only stock part on it) beat a Viper GTS. SO WHAT, lol
However i would love to have seen you race a Cobra at a track, you would lose i will guarantee you of it.
03 Cobras production was stopped for a couple of weeks to fix a problem, they ARE back in production. And as an American i'm proud to hear that blower whine.
You need to take you truck to the track and get a timeslip, don't streetrace, especially in an unaerodynamic truck at those speeds, thats just plain stupid.
And to give you an idea im not talking out of my butt i took my truck to Mosoro a couple of weeks after buying it just to run it down the strip for the heck of it, wanna see my times?
60' 2.548
1/8 11.302
mph 61.85
1000' 14.702
1/4 17.592
mph 77.78

hehe.. 17.6 I love it.
I ran a 15.56 @ 92mph in the 1/4 last time I checked. This was the day I put the S/C in.
Thats not to shabby for a 4wd 4Runner w/ a 200lb stereo and 32" tires.
I lined up next to a new Camaro SS a few weeks ago, and I had him until we hit 60mph. I took the lead because my locker kept both tires planted where he spun through 1st gear. Believe me he was both surprised and confused.

ps - im staying out of this match, but my next vehicle will be a well modded taco with the 3.4L and a blower.

nu-uh... mine is faster!
what are you stupid? MINE is faster!
psh! Whatever! You got 200000000 lbs. torque?
torque doesn't matter! It's all about HP!

Ive got friends with 9 sec in the 1/4 mi fox body stangs
also 11 sec ford lightning pickups are very common.
Your truck is probably very cool and fast but you come off as a total
ricer that doesn't know what he's talking about. Dont take everything you see on the
fast and the furious to hart man its just a movie, lol.

Personally i still can't believe someone told me that his Pickup drives better at 147mph than the GT i had, i just cant understand his logic of thinking, let's just say that i wish he lived nearby because i know a few stock GT's that i could get to race him. That would put an end to this real quick.
I didn't get rid of the Stang because it drove badly, quite the opposite, it drove so nice that I couldn't stop from getting speeding tickets. I got to where i was scared to drive down the block because i would be doing 20mph over the limit, it sounded great and drove great, believe it or not that's why i got rid of it.
One ticket for rolling thru a stop sign while turning right ($68), another for 23mph over the limit ($140ish) and another for street racing although i was technically spectating but there is no longer any distinction in Florida because of the new laws, the last ticket cost me $500 for lawyer (it's a criminal offense now) and $180 for court costs to get out of it. All within 8 months (very lucky to not have any points on my license), after that i decided if i wanted to keep my license i better buy a nice slow pickup.
