  • CONTEST! What will it run? Win a BS hat! And the winner is....

    Going to the Ford v.Buick Shootout this weekend at Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble, Ok. Since the Mustang is not ready and since all Ford powered vehicles can run, I am going to race my 2007 Mountaineer. There are always some boring vehicles running, so I decided to be one this year. Besides, a buddy is racing his Escalade fro Team Buick, so I just gotta help my guys too! haha

    Event link: http://www.bangshift.com/forum/index.php?topic=25265.0

    Here's the scoop:

    Mountaineer:
    2wd
    4500lb (give or take a few)
    292 hp 4.6L 3 valve
    6 speed automatic
    3.55 gears

    Track:
    Elev: 1050' MSL
    Temp: 77 deg.
    RH: 35%

    Soooo.....what do ya think it will run? ;D





    EDITGot an idea.

    Lets make this a contest.

    I'll buy the winner a BS hat.




    Quickie Rules:

    1 guess only

    Time slip from final eliminations will be *the* slip I use.

    No ties

    No substitutions

    No purchase necessary

    Avoid where prohibited

    The race is Saturday, so any guesses (or edits!) after 12:00pm CST Saturday will not be eligible. This is to eliminate anybody who might actually be at the event from cheating!

    There is the possibility that I will get culled out, since there have to be an even number of Fords & Buicks. In that event I will use the quickest qualifying time slip.

    I'll post up the results on Sunday or Monday.

    Good Luck!
    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

                That 6 speed sure keeps the 4.6L singing in it's sweet spot! ;) ;) ;) ;)

                          16.8. That thing should be a perfect bracket racer.

                              That's funny because that's about what my buddy's GN ran (21 sec.) when it blew an intercooler hose at this race 2 years ago. :D :D
