That's my laughing when my daughter calls me a weirdo. I tried to get video/sound of the Mazdaspeed CAI for the speed 6 but couldn't get it. I'll get some next time.

Your Excursion is badass! What is the hp per lb ratio?

 

[awh]

it would be a different result if u raced p5freek. he would whip your ass for sure!!!!! stock even.

 

[Ryobob]

ur wife sux at driving :>

 

[spiker98]

what were your times on the strip?

 

[J Dragon]

LOL she had to have let you win.......the Ms6 is faster than that...

 

[Sax Maniac]

The title on the main page says this

Wife's Speed 6 vs my Ex...

I thought this was going to be your new wife using her Speed6 to run over your ex-wife.

 

[mtxpert]

Well a couple of things.
1. It wasn't my wife driving it was someone else, that was with traction control on which I corrected later but car still wouldn't shift into 2nd for any passes.
2. My Excursion runs 14.5's on the street tune and 14.2's on the race tune. I am doing some mods to it soon and should be into the high 13's on my street tune.
3. If P5freek brought his car to AZ he'd lose around 3/4 of a second compared to his track, the altitude density here SUCKS.

so you're saying if you put your excursion in a flat state say north texas(so you don't have the horrid humidity) your excursion without any changes would be a 13.5?

 

[mtxpert]

Altitude Density has a huge impact on 1/4 mile times. Less so with turbo charged motors but yes.
If you run in Englishtown then come to Phoenix then Las Vegas and finally Denver there will be a huge difference in times for the same car.

I am guessing that is a hopped up turbo diesel? Cuz I wouldnt think a typically SUV of that size could keep up with a 6 let alone a speed 6.

 

[mtxpert]

Yes, check my sig - it's a power stroke diesel thus the black smoke on acceleration.
That was my slowest run of the night as I didn't get decent boost out of the hole. I ran 14.45 to 14.52 the rest of my runs.

:laugh: You might as well be driving one too

 

[Ryobob]

heh not quite a good 90 some odd % made in japan - not built by ford u-a-dub

 

[Raynman]

Weirdo! LOL :lol:

 

[Kevin6s]

What kind of mileage does the diesel get?

 

[Blazing Copper 6]

Wow , im not surprised about the turbo diesel though, they can be fast with easy mods. My buddy has a 2001 Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel 2500 / ATX . He runs 7.9 in the 1/8 mile with a 1.7 60ft, should easily do 12s in the 1/4 mile. Yes we all know the speed 6 can do better than that in the 1/4 and it wasnt a good launch but I give credit where its due , and to me the diesel is more impressive

 

[Ryobob]

still a stinky louder than a fart hunk of metal on wheels.. usually racist rednecks drive those

 

[natespeed6]

Those are some good vids. I have an expatition and i get a lot of crap from people too. Then when the 5.4 V8 that is under the hood blows there ricer driven doors off (at the track) they say well thats what happens when you have twice as many cylinders as my car. My expadition runs in the 14s and that is it.
