01 GT vs. 99 SVT Expedition..Not a bad race

93 Stock Stang LX · 03-23-2001, 01:28 PM

About a month ago my friend totaled his '64 Nova while racing side by side around a curve. Two weeks later he came upon a '99 SVT Expedition 4-speed and thought that he should see what he could do with it, so he challenged everyone he knew and took out the slower cars first with no problems. He was consistantly finishing with at least a few cars lead, the cars he raced weren't anything to be proud of though. Someone decided to show up in a '01 GT and threw a cloud of smoke in the air at the line so the challenge wasn't even there for the Expedition. Now the race became serious and they shot off the line with little tire spin and were neck and neck at he 1/4 mile mark but they weren't done yet. They raced for a good distance after that but the mustang just had the weight and streamline in his favor and pulled away. That was the fastest i have ever seen a SUV move before. I've seen pickups move like that but not something the size of an Expedition.

SVT Expedition? WTF? Never heard of one of those. I thought Saleen and Kenne Belle modified a few but I don't think Ford made that particular model. In any event, any Expedition that can even come close to beating a Mustang has my respect. That's a tough job for a sport-ute.
