We'll it depends i guess. Is your car stick or auto? It may determine who the winner maybe, unless yours pops trucks is a lighting.

I'm pretty sure you will lose (assuming he can speed shift pretty good). Not by a ton, but you will lose. save the money and race anyway.... let us know the results.

Shoot I've been beaten by a neon when my 3.4 was stock. I'm pretty sure that F150 would eat you alive.

I beg to differ, i see stock F-150's running in the 17sec range at the strip. a 3.4 is a mid 16sec car. I say go for it and take his money, and send me half.

mine is auto just like his
and no its not a lightning its just a common quad cab f-150 with a big ass tool box in the bed......
Dont the f-150 have a governer on it cause a friend of mine has a single cab 150 with the triton v8 and he cant even hit 100

Eh, I wouldn't do it. My dads silvy 1500 with the 4.8 v8 is pretty quick. They do have a governer though, and the chevys are limited at 98 MPHI believe. They are(obviously)heaver by quite a bit, but v6 to v8, it would be close.

Also, what engine does that F-150 have?

I think it would depend on what year the f-150 is and what engine it has in it. I would race my dad's f-150 but that's cause it has a 302 in it and those trucks are built for low end not top speed. Now the new F-150s I might shy away from.

A governor physically limits speed. His truck is limited by the ecm. But that's just semantics.

Here's what you do... Take your $100.00 and go buy a cheesesteak, some beer and a rubber. Race him 3 times, and regardless of who wins when it's all over, pull over in the driveway, open a beer and the cheesesteak, and when he asks you for the $100.... you say "Look you beat me fair and square and you're probably real proud of yourself and happy so take this rubber... I'll let you F my mom as your celebration." And when he asks about the money, you can tell him you spent it on cheesesteaks and beer so you didn't have to listen to him and your mom going apeshit because he thinks he's hotshit he beat his step son in a race.
And THEN if he get's all pissy, like most Ford owners will, you can just say... "Hey, stepdad... calm the F down... a REAL father wouldn't race his own son for money."
I WOULD NOT DO THIS... Unless you're cool with him, and this is really just for kicks... but it doesn't sound like it.
Don't mean to offend you if I have, but this guy sounds like a complete fuck-rod.

The f150 doesnt have a chanse in any case. THAT IS A TRUCK MADE FOR CARRYING LOADS AND TOWING!!!!
Unless you camaro is a pile of crap with 400000miles on it and his ford has different gears and all done up for speed.

Nice double post. And the diesels are way different, and much heavier then the 1500s.

Ford has different gears.
Also the diesel car had a turbo and it was spinning tires all the way to third gear. How about that?

HAHAAAA! :lol2: Philly... if you're car runs as fast as you type we're all in trouble! :grinyes: :iceslolan :lol:
Seriously though, any "father" that would race his kid for $100 KEEPS is a poor excuse for a father imo. That's not chump change for a little guy. NOW... if he said you gotta buy me a beer, or you gotta cut the lawn for 2 weeks, or something stupid like that.. that's a whole different story.

i agree but maybe he was just saying that to show him how sure he is that he will win? i dunno....how about u race him for free and tell us what happend

Just tell him you don't have the $100 to put up but you will be more than happy to kick his ass for free. If he gives you any shit, just say he would race you for free if he wasn't scared of your little v6. If he does win, say "woo hoo, your v8 beat my 6 cylinder, you want a medal".
Regardless, kick him square in the nuts anyway for being such a fuck-rod.

i wouldnt be to surprised if ya beat him. f-150's weigh a huge amount. Plus if he leaves the tool box in and its full of heavy tools.... Im not saying make the bet. But id say you have a fair chance if your car is running well. It also depends on what size v-8 he has. i think theres the 4.6 and then the 5.2 if im not mistaken.
