My nephew just bought a 2003 Excursion 4wd with a V10. Recently, he just added the JET chip to it (bumped said truck over its stock 410 hp) and is about to purchase the Ram Air intake for it. He states that his truck with its modifications can beat my Maxima.

Is it safe to assume I will own his a$$ when I run him at Rte. 66 Raceway on a Test and Tune session?

 

Short of a Lightning/Harley Davidson Edition F150, there are no trucks we need to worry about.

 

Uh, unless they set the course up with gravel, mud pits and loose dirt hills...then the 4x4 would shine!!!

 

Ok. On dry pavement, short of a Lightning/HD F150, there are no trucks we need to worry about.

Tearing up the countryside chasing down deer with a beer in your free hand while screaming to your buddy "Hooooweeee - Wees gonna git him!" - better get a 4x4 truck.

 

Hey!!! That's prime entertainment down here!!!!



j/k

Although there is alot to be said for playing around in a truck doing things that a car just can't do!!!

When the mood hits, I take the Ram out and its a whole different world...

 

I thought one of the Dodge Dakota RTs were fast? The Jeep WUV 5.8 liter is pretty fast too. Then there is the Cyclone/Typhoon GM thingies. Not trucks perse but you know

 

I have to tell you, I've always secretly wanted to go crashing through mud pits and scambling up hills in some outrageous 4x4. Looks like lots of fun.

 

I don't think the Dodge's are that fast, in the 7's I believe. There's a Dodge SRT that I've heard about, with the V10 from the viper, but I'm not sure if they are out on the street yet.

The Cherokee with the 5.9 has a pretty good 0-60, but its still only in the low 7's. People get caught because they tires, where as the Cherokee has the advantage of 4wd.

Cyclone/Typhoon were pretty quick, but not in production anymore and to be honest, I've never personally seen one, so I think they were fairly rare.

 

Those times should be a pretty close race for an Auto 2000-2001 5-gen though.

The Typhoon and Cyclone are rare but I do see either one about once a month though.

 

A buddy of mine used to own a Cyclone, and he would run in the mid 13's, those things get amazing traction cuz they are AWD. Now he is driving a 'vette with a 150 shot of Nitrous. Some people get to have all the fun.

 

This is a 2002 5th Gen.

 

hmm thats almost like Titanic Vs. the Federation Starship..

 

Man, this is seems like a major waste of gas to me, but if he wants to get his a$$ spanked, fine by me. He had just better not go crying to his wife (or any other members of the family) when I clean his clock.

BTW, I now have someone at my church who just bought a new Monte Carlo SS and is talking yang as well. When will they learn?

Disclaimer: I am not dissing Excursions or Monte Carlos in any way. My aim here is to shut two trash talking individuals up in a humiliating fashion. Therefore, don't even think about flaming me or starting Excursion v. Maxima or Monte Carlo v. Maxima wars.

 

Sheesh.
To those who will start Excursion vs. Maxima wars will get a tire imprint on their forehead from my 235/45ZR17 Dunlops mounted on STOCK 7.0" wide wheels.

 

are you 6spd or auto?? eihter way he'll lose hehe

 

Yeah, I didn't know that the '03 HD was supercharged. One got damn close to beating me the other night. Some damn redneck in his new truck with his name on the leftside of the rear window and his 'girls' name of the rightside of the rear window. I love Dallas, but sometimes Texas kills me!

 

Auto.

Like I said, I think this is a tremendous waste of gas because I am confident that I will blow him out the weeds.

But I will admit that if I ever decided to get one of those behemoths, I would get the PowerStroke Diesel variant. I went to FordExcursions.com and found some interesting mods for those boats including superchargers.

 

there are about 4 typhoons here. i got
my *** stomped from 100 to about 130. i was not in my
rolling whale (2001max). i was in my Elan.

 

My friend has a cyclone- that sucker is fast! But as far as fast trucks go, did anyone else see the Lingfelter Chevy C3 in C&D a couple years ago? It did 0-60 in the sub 5 second range- with 4WD and an auto! Imagine- 4WD burnouts in a truck. It was totally stock looking as well, so be carefull.

 

yeah prinz u should OWN them both in a race

 

oh yeah, forgot to mention that i beat one from 80-120mph roll before by a big margin. after 105 the dude was like wayyy back there

 

Maybe they just aren't very common in Canada.

I do recall reading an article way back when where they put a Cyclone (or maybe a Typhoon) against some Ferrari, maybe a 308, for the 1/4 mile. Cyclone won.

 

No gun rack?

The first HD were nothing to worry about, but the latest one is basically a Lightning.

 

I doubt he will beat you but there is a Navigator running around houston that does 11's on gas lol. Seen it myself at Houston raceway park I think he owns a wheelshop and lives in my neighborhood. But no doubt the Navi he has is murder.

 

Yeah look out for those pickup sleepers. My buddy had a custom truck in high school, SC'd V8, like 600 hp or some insane thing. He'd burn out and you could pick up the burning piles of rubber afterwards.

 

it's funny to me. i read this thread yesterday. and
today i'm coming home on the freeway with a dodge dakota
in front of me. in front of him was this little *** civic.
the civic pulls out of the left lane leaving it to the dodge
and myself. he took off from about 65. he gets 3 or 4
carlegnths in front of me. then i punch it. i caught him
passed him, and gave him the shaka out of the window.

 

Ok, I'm gonna be the **** one here....it's spelled Syclone not Cyclone.

http://carpoint.msn.com/vip/usedover...&model=Syclone

It's a bad truck, one of my friends has one. Off the line doesn't feel much different than a standard S-10, but once that turbo spools up man oh man it flies.

 

GMC Syclone??? Those things are bad@$$

 

Actually, the scariest truck is Lingenfelter's 427cid S-10. The 0-60 times on that thing were in the high 3 second range.

 

thoes lingenfelter (spelling) people are crazy...much like japanese top-secret people..or Reamemmia or thoes other crazy japanese tuners...

 

all i can say is that the only trucks to fear are american.
God Bless America

 

excursion? that thing is an ugly beast, just like all other suvs. theyre ugly,wastes of space, slow, and over priced. i dont know what kind of crack hes smoking to think that gorilla can beat a max...

 

I made a mistake. i forgot about the BMW X5 4.4i. It will
most def hand out several *** whippings. and it's not ugly.

 

i remember reading about that thing in my C&D. 3.8 seconds to be exact, and it had twin turbos if I remember correctly. But for having such a low 0-60 time, it sure had a bad 1/4 mile time, I think somewhere in the 12's.

 

with the exception of the new Chevy srt-10, (viper engine in a light truck) we have nothing to worry about.

 

How 'bout this... Twin turbo TrailBlazer. 0-60 5.35sec. Not bad huh?

u will win hands down no worries man.

once i raced this SUV with he said a 350 under the hood. lets just say i was walking away.

 

Shouldn't that be a Dodge Ram?

Buzz

 

you may win in your fancy 4 door sports car.. but after its over... he will be able to take home 7 people and groceries why don't you try that mr. fancy maxima boy

 

If you won't then I will. The new MC weigh in at nearly 3400lbs and runs 180HP or 200HP in the SS model. Weren't they running that in the 80's with the G-body? IMO they should not have brought it back if they weren't going to give it the necessary HP to match today's cars.

Run them both and try to be nice afterwards.
