Race: New Taco PreRunner, 03 Mustang GT and my Ranger!
Ok so im at a intersection where 3 lanes merge into two after probably 300 feet or so. So I see a new taco going around wide open everywhere and finally I caught him at the perfect light. I see a car to the left of him and figured I'd give him a good race. So the light turns green, I ease into the peddle before going all in to prevent tire squeel. I instantly pull away to where his front bumper meets my fuel door. I dont gain much on him, slowly I do but I soon start running out of room. I look over and the mustang is wide open and its front bumper is about a foot or so ahead of the tacos. I eventually run out of room and hit the brakes so I dont go into a sidewalk and do some damage. Then I get behind the taco and follow them to the next light where the taco turns left and the mustang is right infront of me. Little did I know that Mustang was a Mustang GT (auto like me and the taco) and that he was unable to pull on us.
However I must say, them tacos haul ***. I was suprised at that mustang GT, I really cant decide how into it he was, I really thought he had to be going for it cause I really cant see the race being that close if he wasnt.
Man oh man do I ever want to get some more performance upgrades. Im running out of things to do though! Efan and pully and coil pack before supercharger. Damn I want more stuff to do!!!!

2001-2004 4 speed AUTO GT = piece of ****. 260hp with a very ****ty trans makes it a crappy "muscle car" especially when its going vs a 245hp(if it was unmodded) Taco and your 4.0
When i was about a day away from buying a 03 GT last year i checked out both (traffic blows ***** in SoCal so id be much nicer to have a DD auto, but 1. i could never get an automadic muscle car and 2. that thing was a complete piece of crap, th 5 speed stick on the other hand... very nice

Ive driven the 5 speed before and it had awesome get up and go. I really think that the mustang 02-03 ( I think ) was giving its all. Just a feeling. I dont think he could have stuck with us when we were at WOT unless he got into it fairly heavy. I heard tacos were really around 245/280 and were underrated, apparently you have too?
I just need someone to donate a supercharger now and im set haha.

lol sounds like you had some fun man.. yeah I believe the stang was just messing with you as well.. it's still lighter than your ranger and has 260hp/302tq and the 4-speed auto is just as crappy as the ranger automatic. A 5-speed GT can do 0-60 in the mid-late 5 sec range.. i'd say 6.3-6.5 sec 0-60 with an auto at the worst..

So what makes it a chick car... 4.6/5.4 v8... 260(02 GT)-475(07 Shelby) hp stock... a car that will do 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and only costing 27000 FULLY LOADED? To my knowledge a muscle car was/is a sports car that is fast, bad *** v8 under the hood, and will not break your bank...

Yea....one day back when thosetrucks were brand spanking new, I test drove the new frontier, the new taco, a new unlimited rubicon, and a '06 ranger. All were similarly equipped, all manual, all 4x4, with the exception of the frontier being a crew cab. I gotta say....I'm seriously thinking about getting a frontier. Hell....during the test drive of the nissan, the dude let me pin in around town, kicking her sideways as much as possible. Love it.

Can you imagine a '02 XL ranger reg cab, with a HO 5.0L and huge mufflers...quietlike, and rolling the stock stupid looking wheels and tires. Best of all it'll be white with all that grey bumpers and grille and such. Add a company logo on the side. For example, R-F Research, etc........FREAKIN' SLEEPER!!!
