Dark Knight Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 No shot guys, I blew the doors off a 5.4 boss F-150 (the yellow one with black stripes) when my truck was bone stock. Let those ford boys keep dreaming. Ford boys keep dreaming? I think the SS is kick @ss, but we are talking about the run of the mill F-150 arn't we? Just like the run of the mill Hemis. I don't think the Ford boys need to dream to much as they have the Lightning and HDs running around to cover their sport truck needs, which is what the SS is, a sport truck, not a run of the mill truck.

I CORNER Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I test drove a 2WD 2004 300hp F150 Extended Cab and it sure did not feel like 300hp. I am used to vehicles that can easily merge and I cannot even call the Ford 150 economy car zippy, much less fast/quick. The Ram 1500 Quad Cab Hemi stomped it. I have read that the Nissan Titan kills it. It would be absolutely no competition for the SSS! Rick R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 7a7ss, If you need a little help, or back-up, just give a brother a shout. It would take me all of 30 min to get to JC. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koffee Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 the SS will beat a regular 150. But ford isn't claiming the 150 is a racer. It is like comparing apples to oranges. Anyway, I drive a Lightning, and I was wondering how The SS takes off with AWD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I drive a Lightning, and I was wondering how The SS takes off with AWD? I think the original post was, can his SS beat a 150 FX4? We are not trying to compare our SS to a lightning, or a normal F150. His question was valid because he knows nothing of the "new" F150 or it's abilities. The AWD system launches hard, but hasn't pulled the 60' times I had hoped for. Weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid297 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I'm a Ford man and I'll tell you that the only 04 F-150 you SS guys need to worry about in a are the L's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWRDR Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I toyed with one of those the other day on the road, they are no competion for a SS. Even if they mod it they would have to put some serious cash in it to do any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI's SS Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Check out car and driver, the 04 Ford 150 has a 9sec. 0-60 time - no competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7a7SS Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hatred aside, this guy and I have learned a few things from one another over the past couple years However some lessons are better LEARNED than taught! I have yet to catch him while I’ve been in the SS , saw him this weekend but I was in the wife’s car The feeling in the air, we will meet at dawn or midnight one of these days.

BigJeff Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 No hating, but you said the same thing I did, which is, the F-150 is no competion for the SS because it wasn't meant to be. The SS is not supposed to be competion for a Lighting. But my SS is still a truck something the lighting or Dodge RT guys can't claim. Would love to see the lighting or RT pulling a 21' boot behind it. I would laugh my a** off. All things consider all these trucks target the market they are after. The SS I would not claim to be an all out Sport Truck lot of parts on this thing are the same as every other 1/2 ton GM truck. For the most part the tuning in the susp. is different, couple susp. parts are differnt, bigger engine(yet not the baddest gm production engine), AWD, interior and exterior details, and 20" tires. The lighting and RT a built for one thing and that is to go fast in a "truck shell". Not knocking the SS, Ford or the RT they do what they were designed to do. But to be fair the only direct comprassion we should do is the RT to the Lighting. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
