My grandpa just bought a brand new 2001 F-350 Turbo Desil, we were going around 40km (20-30mph) & I told him to "PUNCH IT" & the tires squeeled for 1-2 seconds.
this truck is big & fast for a stock F-350.
my dad has a 79 Chev with a 350 & a standard tranny, & i told my grandpa to race him, but he said no because he had to break in the engine (600km's), the ford feels faster when he floors it & wou here the whine of the turbo, but am i wrong?, once he gets back from arizona he will have around 6000km's & then he will race my dad.
anyone know what would be faster?
thanks
