Mr GTHO

Found this video of a F-150 Lightning doing a high speed drive by.
Bricks can fly.

Slightly over the speed limit hey! I want one of these babies.

Flying brick is right. Wonder what speed it was doing?

Mr GTHO

Your guess is as good as mine.

With 380hp and 450 pounds of torque what is stopping it should be the question.

I think the 2001 Lightnings use Brembo's.

Good guess. Can't argue with that.

My word it's fast. Listen to the blower screaming!:s2:
Thanks for the file.

Mr GTHO

The Lightning's top speed is 238 km/h.
I would like to put the Lightning's performance into some perspective. Based on Wheels Dec 01 World Top 50 fastest cars.
(0-400m) (0-100km/h) (kW) (Nm) (kg)
Commodore R8- 14.2 , 6.0 , 255, 475, 1670
GTS 300- 14.0, 5.9 300, 510, 1710
F-150 Lightning 13.8, 5.2, 283, 610, 2120
Camaro Z28 ss 13.7, 5.3, 242, 475, 1560
CSV Veloce 13.7, 5.5, 330, 550, 1660
Corvette 13.1, 4.8, 261, 508, 1460
Mustang Cobra R 13.0, 4.5, 287, 522, 1628
Corvette Z06 12.6, 4.4, 302, 542, 1414

Note that the last three times were based on 1/4 mile and 0-60mile.

But it gives you an idea that how fast the F-150 is and what the potential of a blown 5.4 in a Falcon that weighs 500 kg less.
600Nm or torque is colossal. No wonder they didn't offer a manual transmission.
Stop importing Ka's, Cougars and Cobra's and give us the LS1 eater.
