power to weight ratio? different gearing? driver? it can go on.
shitty ford Ranger
Well i was at my friends house and this dude pulls up in a maunal 4x4 ford rangeraround a 95 or so. He comes squealing threw his gears and pulls up. I asked him what he had, and he replied. " a 4.0 with a turbo set up" so im thinking ok hes got a manual ive got an auto. hes got a 4.0 i got 2.8, hes got a turbo i got n/a. He wanted to race and i said sure but id prob lose. We ended up going back to his place where he had some concrete slab type thing in his field. We lined up and we gunned it on 3, i instantly pulled on him and stayed aheadgot a good 4 or 5 lengths on him. He got out and said his tires were squealing so he didnt get traction so he put it in 4x4. We lined up again and gunned it on 3. he stayed next to me for a good 2 or 3 seconds until i pulled on him and gained 2 to 3 lengths on him withen a 1/4 mile. I dont see how i could have beat him when he had so many more advantages against me. Anyone ever raced one or can put their two cents in cause i thought i shoulda lost.

A stock 2.8 auto conv runs 17's.... I used to have the same car only a 3.1.
It could of had a turbo and just ran like shit, no tune, etc or just have been a 2.3. But a stock 4.0 5 speed should run faster than a 17.

oh oh oh... pick me I know.... Its a damn FORD! It dont matter what you got in a ford, their still nothing but a POS.
I've seen SOHC 4.0 5 Speed RAngers walk fox body Mustangs. They do have good get'up for a little truck.
X2. Being a 4X4, the weight of the extra drive train almost mathes the weight of a J-body :lol:techoverload said:oh oh oh... pick me I know.... Its a damn FORD! It dont matter what you got in a ford, their still nothing but a POS.

He keeps saying to let him build them up and then he'll run me, well hell let me build my z a lil more and he'll still be nothing but a blur in my rear view.
ITS A FORD! its always been shit, will always be shit and no matter how you build it, it's still SHIT!
Just because its a cavalier dont mean its slow.
