'06 base beats V10

So I'm at a redlight and what pulls up next to me, a shiny new Ford V10 with a co-worker driving. He revs, I rev, and we go on green. The Tl puts buslengths on him.

I decided to drive the TL to work today instead of riding the Triton V10 vanpool as usual..... Sorry, I'm bored and have not raced anything in a very long time. True story though.:theghey:

A stock powerstroke probably would've taken me off the start. To those wondering, it's a van. The funny thing is one of the hills we climb at work which requires the TL to come out of lockup and sometimes downshift to 4th to maintain speed, the work van pulls it at 1,700rpm with no unlocking or downshifting. Got to love torque.
