This is funny. Last Wednesday night at KCIR a white 2000 F-250 4-door 4X4 pulls in towing a 10 second Stang. Shortly after, the F-250 is at the line ready to race. It's the F-250 vs a convertible 5.0. The F-250 gets off the line with no wheelspin and is literally putting the 5.0 in a diesel smoke screen. The race looks absolutely neck and neck down the track. The et sign flashes 15.8@87 to the Stangs 15.9@89. It was freaking hilarous.

I was left to wonder what had been done to that turbo diesel, but now it's clear that the F-250 must have had some serious turbo tweaking to run like that.

BTW, the conditions that night were 80 degrees and nearly 90% humidity. I'd bet that F-250 could have run a mid 15 in cooler weather.
