Explorer vs. Ferrari F-50

[expo5.0]

troll would win... seriously. and that would be crazy as hell.

i've seen a lm002 before and quite a few ferrari's and a couple of murcielago's (in the phoenix area and vail co.) but by far the coolest thing i ever saw was a jaguar ( i can't remember the name of the vehicle now, i looked up info about it last year after i saw it but i've forgotten) but it was a full on race car that was street legal. btw- if you have gt2 you can get this car (whatever its called) on the game.

I bet I know the jag your talkin about, the XJ220. There was one outside this restaurant we go to (it had to be the owner of the restaurant, Max's Grill, b/c it was always parked next to the valet). It was veeery sweeeet, had a dark-blue color and looked smooth not aggressive like other exotics. Everyone that sat outside, or really just the guys, would drool over this car. I havn't seen it there for about a year, but at least it was there the few times we went . I actually got yelled at for goin up to it to look at it, one of the valet guys was like "Sir, please stay away from that vehicle!", stunned the hell outa me, I couldn't say anything.

Troll (or was it someone else here?) did race a Ferrari or lambo or something like that. It was down in Florida, so was that Troll? Anyway, I could swear there was a thread about it here. Troll won too. But the guy in the sports car couldn't drive he said.

 

[SaleenEXP]

If it was in Fl, it was Troll. I live in Boca Raton and he lives in Miami about 35mins away. I think it was a Ferrari that he raced. Another guy from Boca Raton is on this board, goes by the screen name dominic....(can't remember the rest of the name, but he's the one that started that Ford MotorSport 347 thread) when he gets it in his truck I will be on my knees begging for a ride . I'll tell you one thing that encounter with the modified
F-50 made me realize how slow the 1st gen is , what happened to my exhaust that was supposed to add 20hp and the Riva Yamaha sticker on the back windshield shoulda added what, 40hp . Oh well, I guess it wasn't enough to keep up with the Ferrari

I read something about Troll and a SLK Kompressor and he said he left them in a cloud of tire smoke..

 

[expo5.0]

uhh, slk kompressors aren't fast... like at all

Back off topic!!!

CKY huh those videos are insane!!!

 

[SaleenEXP]

I can't find the thread but I'm almost sure it was a Ferrari that Troll ran against and absolutley smoked him, just can't find the damn thread!? It definit;ey wasn't a slk230, even the 320 can only run about 6.9

Those CKY videos, are those the ones with people (not from Jackass) do crazy stuff?? In my dorm last year (sounds funny saying that since I live 5min from my college yet lived on campus,heh) there was a bunch of us in my room, of course there were a few fine girls in there w/ one that I hooked up with and who then decided to become a stalker but thats another story, we were watching these videos of crazy ****. They rented a V6 Mustang and friggen trashed the thing. The floored it and jumped a huge grass hill in a parking lot, you shoulda seen the air they got in that car , and basically ripped the front end off when they landed, then they jumped the hill backwards and the best was when they returned it to the rental place afterwards. Another one had guys on jet-skis and they would go full throttle and jump off and let it hit whatever was in front of them, they even towed a ski down the city BUT! without a trailer, that thing was slidding all over the place. I'm mean they were doing some insane stuff, like an 80ft jump off a cliff to do a cannonball, I jumped from a 40ft cliff and theres no way in hell I'll do 80ft.

Are those the videos your talking about?? If not did anyone see that video with the mustang, I can't remember the name of it, but it was nutz .

Nice to see you got to meet an F50! Those things are amazing! There are a few NSX's, Vipers, and a couple 360's here... Don't see them often since it's always raining but I did see an NSX racing a 360 to the next light. My neighbor works at a car dealership and they've got some old Plymouth (not sure of the model), with $140k invested. Got the wheelie bars and all. Every once and a while they take it out of the showroom for a drive since it doesn't get much driving from customers. The Ferraris and Vipers are quick cars, but if you saw this I know what you'd choose!

don't get to see much around here until Americruise rolls through. I just saw a Saleen Explorer for the first time the other day. I just saw the trim out of the corner of my eye and thought it was a weird looking F-150 Lightning, then I took a closer look, pretty bad-a$$. I still want a stage 3 Roush Mustang though....

 

[huskyfan23]

I haven't seen a Saleen X in person, but i have seen a couple Shelby Durangos. I hate to say it but I like the Shelby Durangos more than the Saleen X's. When we were car shopping for Durangos we went to a lot and we were looking at the Shelby until we saw the $65k pricetag. We stuck with the new R/T, still pretty quick. I'd rather have that Mustang than than any of these Saleen or Shelby SUV's. But I do like the new Saleen Mustangs also.

Whoa, old thread lol. That was a pretty cool encounter that I'll never forget, I remeber rushing home just to post it lol.

As you can tell by my name, actually I was a member almost 2yrs ago on here, but account got screwed up and I re-registered last August. I spent like a year trying to find a Saleen Explorer to no avail. Dropping a supercharged 347 with other goodies would have really backed up the aggressive looks of the XP8.

The problem with the Stage 3 Roush is it uses the 2v V8 from the GT and is already at it's limits without internal work in the Stage 3. Not to mention the price and it rides as harsh as a Dodge Viper (doesn't bother me at all, but all the old foggies that bought one are complaining about it )

I would take an 03' Cobra over an Saleen, Roush, Kenny Brown ect Stang. One it's a sh!tload cheaper then their versions, and basically will walk all over their top versions in every performance aspect although the Saleen Extreme is about even for only about 65,000 I think. You just saved like 20-30 thousand over the tuners, AND you have the forged dohc 4.6 that responds to mods better then any engine produced today, you can gain 500rwhp on an 03' Cobra for about 2,000 in mods, swap on the soon to be released Kennbell twin-screw and you'll be over 600rwhp reliably.

 

[F14CRAZY]

Come on...

There has to be an Explorer out there that could have kept up with that F50...

 

[99exEB1]

Well, Troll's is the fastest so he would have had the best chance.

 

[Big_SuVn_69]

i've been lucky i've riden in an acura nsx and a lamborgini and they have some power but still i think that would be no comparison to the ultimate x like troll's !
