Performance Specs for the X?

[RedLightning]

Well since this is not a dragster I have not been able to find any performance specs for it, like 0-60 or 1/4 mile time. So would any of you happen to know what a 2001 4x4 diesel's times would be?

I test drove one the other day and it seemed to be pretty spunky, after all it has 350 hp and 500lbs torque. it did take a long time for the turbo to catch up (lIke 2 seconds) but after it did it was pushing me back in the seat damn hard. im betting that if you held the brakes and let the turbo catch up before launching you could get a 16 out of it. (and if there was a 20ft trailer behind it it wouldnt change lol) im told that the rev limiter kicks in at 100 mph

thanks alot. My dad might be doing some mods to his so I had to make sure hed be of no threat to me. Oh and its 250hp not 350hp. Prolly just a typo.

this is the spec copied right from the ford web site:

We’ve pumped up the power. The available 325 hp 6.0 Liter Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel gives Excursion the most torque in its class and redefines capability in a heavy duty SUV. Capability comes in the form horsepower and torque numbers like these:325 hp @ 3300 rpm and 560 lbs. ft. of torque @ 2000 rpm.

yea, but my dad has the "lowely" 7.3 liter. Only 250hp in his.

235 HP actually or 187 HP at the rear wheels.

If he put a chip on it with exhaust and a better air filter system for it to breath better he'd give you a run for your money.

He can get a chip that will add over 100 HP, the exhaust and air system may get him 5 HP but will lower his EGT's which is very important.

I've seen time slips of 03-04 6.0 Excursions with a chip, exhauast and air filter system run in the mid 14's. And these are 8,000 lb 4x4's loaded with lether and power everything. It's hard to imagine an Excursion with $1,000 in mods could run neck and neck with my stock GLHS Dodge Omni.

Gah, a 2000 model has 235, 01-03=250hp 04-05=325hp(?)
