2005, They didn't do F150s that year just 250s and 350s, Superchips tuner, 3 TVs, Pioneer Headunit, Blueray player,HID headlights and foglights and train horns lol. She was a diesel and those 6.0s had enough issues and I didn't wana void my warrenty with a bunch of performance mods. What about you?

Mine was an 04 with JLP shortblock, ported blower, 6 lb. pulley, long tubes, new trans, suspension and a million other things. Too much to type really. Street tune dynoed at 486/519. Best time on drag radials - 11.88 @ 114.49

Oh damn man!! Very nice

^^^^^Wasn't really fast, but very comfortable.

TonyBPD · 08-18-2010, 11:29 AM

It was a beast for sure. Not a daily driver though! Ended up trading it in for an 06 Chevy Trailblazer SS which is driven by the wife now.

Nissan Sentra 1.8L.....

nuts4nissan09 · 08-18-2010, 07:21 PM

2006 Dodge Charger r/t, red w/ black and tan interior. Drove it 32,xxx miles and loved the torque (390 lbs/ft). Build quality was not what the 370's is. I miss that car. It was a big bruiser, comfortable highway cruiser. I averaged 21 mpg w/ it versus close to 25 w/ the Z and I beat on the Z alot more than the Charger. I'd like to get another sedan someday.

christian370z · 08-18-2010, 07:56 PM

My first and last car was a 1996 Saab 900se turbo 'vert with 36,000 miles on it at the time I sold it... It was heavily modified with every single bolt on available for the chassis, Koni shocks, 50# injectors, GT28 turbo, big FMIC, custom tune, full 3" turbo back stainless steel exhaust, Borbet type FS rims, EBC redstuff pads, and on and on. I loved that car, it put down 285whp/290ftlbs which equates to roughly 350chp because of the drivetrain loss due to the automatic transmission.

I slaved over it to bring it as close to perfection as I could, but fundamentally the car was only good in a straight line and I did not enjoy the feeling that every WOT pull could be the last for the transmission.
