ssblackss Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I think you might have just lost $100 not really sure though... Is a stock SS gonna keep up with a Harley F150 Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 you might want to get your wallet out. the HD F150 will pretty much walk on an SS unless you get a really good launch. I've been beaten by 2 of em in close races and I beat another guy, but he spun off the line. Good luck! Maybe he'll still be hung over Let us know how it turns out! It is a Ford... It might just breakdown before you race him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSminneapolis Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 i raced one from a start, i posted the results a while ago. that thread ended up being a few pages long with some of the ford coming in and starting trouble. off the line he punched it before i did and at the end i was right on his back bumper. the only things i had done then were supercraps, exhaust and k&n filter to replace the stock one. i think you just lost $100 though.

Oh well, itll be fun race....Jonathon hows this for optimistic....it's not $500 screw it go buy a tuner, put a CAI and get your exhaust done, all things that can be done in a couple hours that should work.

BenKey Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Optimistic? How about realistic? That's what has been given to you. As much as you have read here, or maybe you didn't, you should have known. It all depends on the distance. If it's 1/8th or under, you can beat him pretty easy. But once you start getting above that, his s-chgr is going to be coming on very stong and he'll leave you behind. If you don't get him on the start, it's over long before the 1/8th. Your AWD is your only advantage, and it doesn't last long. What mods have you done? If it's none, then you maybe you should spend your next $100 on adding some power behind your truck. Either way, hope you beat him and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hook up a little N2O,that should even thing's out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Should have raced him while he was drunk ... well, OK, that would be too dangerous. Maybe you can get and express Radix install to put things on an equal forced induction footing. Then he would be toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Don't let him scrub the tires. Power brake to 1200 or so (just put your toe on the lower left corner and go full brake -- feather the throttle til the truck starts to lurch a bit), and when you get the "go" sidestep the brake and take the gas to the floor and STAND ON IT Heck, I beat lots of guys that I should've lost to... just by a good launch. Then again, that was with a manual and a tight clutch to their auto... Ben is right though, you need to be waaaay out front by 1/8 mile mark. Then swerve into his lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 maybe put some of those tire shredding spikes in the center of each rim and side swipe him, Ben Hur chariot race style!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEAR M UP Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 You might want to find another SS that has some booya under the hood! But if its a 1/8 mile race you should beat him, if not kiss that 100 smackers bye bye........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_the_builder Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Good Luck with the Race. I have never raced a HD but motor trend had lots of articles on both trucks and they are pretty close. Make sure you get a good start off the line and keep the race as short as possible. Your best bet will be if you run a 1/8th since the AW drive will help get you a good start and then he will catch up to you. Good Luck!
