Did that ranger win? That was a TTZ and probably the slowest I've EVER seen a TTZ run. :ph34r:

[RedBeauty84ZX]

Why didnt they film the cars tripping the 1/4, that Z should of easily been ahead by the end of the 1/4.

[Mr. Merk]

are you sure it was a TTZ? it almost looks like both of em braked towards the end of the film, i'm not sure if that was a 1/4 run.....like i said, a sucky video

that truck is super nice tho, he's workin on an eaton blower, he's got a nice subtle carbon fiber hood, nice rims and stance, super clean truck :thumbup:


did you see the blue ranger take off? that is a 4.0 as well but i believe its non OHC

[FlawleZ]

It's a TT alright. It has the front intercooler vents on the front sides of the fascia. Looked like an auto Z and it was probably running safetyboost since it was that slow. Even an N/A should have lots of wheel spin off the line and there was virtually none on that car.

Not bad for a mostly stock engine....IMO actually has about the same mods I had before the truck went down for construction (K&N, exhaust, electric fan, 3.55 w/ LSD) i had a bigger TB, that's the only other thing i had, oh yah, and about 70hp difference in stock trim <_<

just think what he'd run if he lost those 18's :D

[FlawleZ]

Not bad at all for just intake/exhuast/E-fan.

It's also a 4.0 V6. One of the bigger sixes out there so it SHOULD have quite a bit of potential left in it.

[Mr. Merk]

yah, the new 4.0 OHC (wut he's got) will take out the 4.3 chevy easy, just wait till he gets the eaton SC on there :lol:
