I Had A Race And I Think I Won!!!; F150 Lightning truck

I had a bit of a tussle with a ford F150 Lightning truck along a dual carriageway. Now i couldn't pull away and i got in the inside lane, him in the outside in dry conditions.

I had to slow down for a car overtaking a truck so dropped to 60mph then changed down to 4th and we went again this time i started to creep away.

I checked and these trucks do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. Is my car really fast or did he not push his truck enough???

As a comparison my Dads car pretty much runs the same horse power but weighs 500kg more! His does 0-60 in 6.1???

What do we reckon????

depends on what mods you have got, but a decently modified gtst is easily capable of 0-60 in 5.2 secs...

However, your race on the dual carriage way does not really reflect the 0-60 time anyway.... races at that speed are more about torque and gear ratios.....

Anyway, who cares...................... If you think you won, thats good enough!!!!!

p.s. i had a race with a Bentley continental GT once in my GTO.... It was level pegging(even though i knew they are good for 196mph so knew he could have won if he wanted to TOP END) but it was more of a moral victory seeing as MR BENTLEY in his £££££££££££££ car could not pull away from a few grand 15yr old car!!!!! :rofl:

Those trucks are pretty quick, but as Lee said, its all about the torque in high gears...
But I think your car would beat a Lightning off the line and right through the gears :yay:

Just dont try your luck with a The Dodge Ram SRT-10 (if you ever get the chance) that big lump of metal is sub 5 seconds to 60 and flys!! :yes:
