Strongly considering a 2000 to 2003 Excursion, 7.3 Powerstroke, preferably 4x2, preferably 3.73s. This will be my first big truck. I'm currently driving a Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon and it's lightly modded to run low 15s (hoping to see hi 14s in 2008!) in the quarter mile. I consider this about as slow a vehicle as I'd like to drive.
With basic mods (chip or programmer, intake, maybe exhaust with emissions controls intact), what kinds of quarter mile times are reasonable?
OK, how about a 15 flat? Possible with chip and basics?
I like the :woot: and I'm selling my '04 Accord V6 to move to the Excursion. Of course, I'm gaining the ability to drag a track car to the races, instead of having to run a daily driver
X only come with 3.73 from the factory havent had my 02 4x4 to the track yet but enjoy it only have suprchip programmer k&n intake and 4"down pipe to straight exhaust
Good to know, thanks. As much fun as 4.10s or 4.30s might be, I need to keep the diesel bill reasonable!
This is a first for me -- I'm actually considering a Ford. I've been a GM guy since I was a young teenager. I don't know much about Fords in general, and the diesel thing is all new, too.
I was ready to go for a Suburban but then had several GM guys say "Excursion -- Diesel", so here I am, doing the research.
True, true. If that were all people really cared about though, then why would there be such a large after-market for power enhancements? It can't just be that everyone's towing at the edge of their capacities. It's just fun to go fast :wink[3]:
My 01 X with a V10 gets better gas milage than my sisters 99 1/2 ton burban with 5.3 Trying to convince her to get a stroked X to pull her camper
