Vid: F350 vs. RX-7

Watch this F350 trounce a RX-7 on the strip and give a firm bitch-smack to mother nature along the way: http://www.newrides.com/modules.php?...p=getit&lid=12

From what I've been told, it has an upgraded turbo, propane injection, and an ECU reflash.

Not only was his E/T 11.42, his trap was 118.11. That's pretty good for a huge-ass truck.

Anyone else notice that the RX-7 can't stage worth a shit. He kept passing the staging lights and having to reverse. Dumbass doesn't know how to read the tree I guess.

Did the RX-7 brake?

The reaction time from that truck was horrific.

I think it was supposed to be a bracket race but something was very strange with that staging.

well, with any turbo diesel engine in the 350/3500's you can get about 500whp and like 900lbs of torque with about 750$ worth of mods. but then you need a tranny ungrade, but needless to say, with about $1500 you can haul some serious ass.
