Black Betty vs My Brothers New F-150

99mcougar · 04-07-2008, 02:41 PM

My brother got a new F-150 a couple weeks ago

love the truck, silver with dark blue. It's a 2008 FX4 short box, with the 5.4L, but on to the story..

We are on our way out of town, my brother following me in the Cougar when we reach the last set of light before the highway. We have noting in front of us but a straight stretch of road and a little sign that says maximum 100km/h

.
Naturally my brother takes the open lane beside me and gives his truck a little rev. Now both knowing the outcome of the race, i just smile and give him a rev back.
So on the all red I get ready to launch, rev it up to 3k. Green light. I take off tires spinning. Well I slipped off the clutch a little to fast, so instead of that nice little spin, my tires a squealing like a pig.

There we are, neck and neck off the line, tires spinning, finally I hook up. The car pulls hard leaving my brother behind me, I keep on it until cruising speed and let off.
I don't know how bad I beat him, but it was quite the kill. Not that it mattered anyways, its all in good fun.

haven't raced like that for quite a long time now.

nice, well i guess its just the kind of relationship i have with my brother, if it was just some guy in a truck i wouldn't have bothered but because it was him thats what made it fun.

Tell him to get a tune for that truck. Those things have amazing potential, just, not with the factory tune.

woahhhhhh black betty.

99mcougar · 04-07-2008, 09:04 PM

lol, yeah and it would sounds amazing with exhaust

I think he is looking into keeping it stock. If he wanted to go fast, he'd buy a mustang lol

I think he will eventually do some mods to it, with my influence haha

FAIL.

not hating on the mustangs, but if you want to go fast, that's not a wise decision.
