Basically 0-60 is how long it takes you to go from 0mph to 60mph. Of course the lower the time, the better. Don't want to know what my 0-60 time is. I think an 02 sensor might be gone. Everybody with the 4.6 and some with the 5.4 seem to get better gas mileage than me. Also seen better times with a stock 4.6.

slower than a honda civic with a 3 story wing, quad fart tips and NOS!

What else you want to know? it is slow 10-12 seconds. If you want a 6 sec attempt, buy the lightning or use your mustang. Lets not be stupid here. Keep it off the street

Don't you think that is a little harsh Matt90GT ? A simple question deserves a simple answer. I figure since everyone on this board is so performance oriented I could get an idea of how fast or slow it is.

As far as shi*y fart tipped hondas are concerned. I wouldn't waste my gas racing one in the mustang much less in my truck.

What are you driving? Got a truck or just the mustang? Just curious.

Misunderstood the question. Now that I am awake I understand it and could answer it. My truck would be lucky to get a 12 sec. 0-60.

A 2wd Reg cab with 4.6 should do 0-60 somewhere between 8.5-9.0 seconds. My 210hp '97 Reg cab flairside clocked in at ~9 seconds before adding 31.5" AT tires. Now it's probably closer to 9.5...

I believe

I've seen numbers of about 9.6 for an extended cab F150 with 4.6, so my guess would be low nines.

ask a rediculous question, get a smart answer. I call it as I see it.

Kind of like the new VW bug advertisement:

"0-60? Yeah"

For what I drive? Depends on the mood. I have the 97 4x4, 96 xr600 street legal (know what that is?), and a Griggs GR40 mustang to choose from. If I get really bored I can drive to my parents and drive my moms convertible mustang or the '39 hotrod with a 302 EFI in it.

Wants pics?

Okay Matt.....

I guess I will call it as I see it. You seems like a little b*tch. And I know what a dirt bike is when I hear one. As for the mustang, you have the GR40 suspension kit? Anyway. Thank you to everyone that answered my "silly" question. I was just curious how fast or slow the truck was. I don't plan on racing it all over town.

Matt90GT why are you such a *****?

He just asked what his 0-60 is.

Now you'll probably respond with some misspelt, immature comeback. . Just don't come race me in your "GR40 mustang" or "mommy's 302 efi" ahhaha what a joke...

wha wha.

You asked, so you got. Mom has a v6, the 39 has the EFI 5L.

Good first Post shane! You make me proud! Life is more than a bottle and a straight line Shane! Bring it on with the road coarse you I will give you a pacifier to compliment your bottle.

As for '02, who cares about 0-60 in a truck. You obviously did not buy the lightning, so that was not your concern with the truck. you know it is slow in comparison to a mustang, so why even bother. Use a truck to haul loads no a$$.

If you have to ask what a GR40 Mustang is, I should not even waste my time explaining it as you have no concept what is wrong with the 79 fairmont you call a '89 LX.

Since your obviously to stupid to catch my sarcasim when asking you abuot your suspension pkg. I was trying to see if you had more than just suspension on your mustang? Why mention your mom's V6?? lol

Why are you so upset that I asked how fast my truck is?

Does it bother you that much?

It will be okay Matt.....don't let it beat you son.

id love to see some if you have any!

people, this is the internet, dont take things so seriously. matt did come out a little rude, but who cares? he knows his stuff, he's helped out a lot of people on this board (with a little attitude now and then, but its all good). if you dont agree with what he says then thats cool, but dont take it personal. "cant we all just get along?"

Obviously not.........

I am not doubting his knowledge, just dissapointed in his comments.


But I am willing to try


One more thing Matt. I to have suspension mods. Just didn't list them. If you would like I can do that for you?

Want pics?
