Got into a little tussle with a presumingly stock 6.2 Yukon Denali this morning. I was in normal driving mode and launched very softly as I’m well aware I could take a stock 6.2 with my setup in sport mode at full song. Well he punched and I did too (stoplight that leads directly to 65mph zone). I pulled about 1.5-2 cars on him and shut down at 85. He flew by a second later and I got behind him at the stoplight and… it was a Hennessy Supercharged 6.2 Yukon! I’m sure he was very confused about what just happened. I do not promote street racing, but I will consider “spirited acceleration comparison” at times ?

Also, on a unrelated side note. Found the smoking gun with my increasingly bouncy ride with FX4 shocks! 10 months old and 7k miles… they were blown! Didn’t notice when I removed them for some reason. But explains a lot. No wonder the fox feel like butter!

Mine with the 5Star 93 sport tune (tuned for high flow cat), SPD high flow catted DP, and Mountune intercooler will surprise a lot of full size trucks, well pretty much all that are stock. Hell, I will hang with 5.0 Mustangs until 2-3 shift then its lights out for the Ranger. LOL.

I need to do a 0-60 for grins.

These little Eco 4s can be stout no doubt with a few mods.

This little 4 banger is super impressive! Only way it would've been better if it was a Taco you smoked. ?
Maybe if I put a 7k pound trailer behind my Ranger and Raced a Tacoma it would be close… lol

I think you could race a Taco in reverse and still smoke it. ?

Do it!!! You are probably low 5’s at the very least. Mine is around 5.5-5.6. I’m not sure what full size truck besides a 3.5 eco with a tune that will run with the little 2.3. I raced a trail boss 6.2 custom with a tune and exhaust. He ran a 13.8 to my 13.71 he was on stock tires and I was on my 6 ply 33’s before I had an exhaust.

I’m sure we all have done the deed to someone that was going to show us the ropes only to get smoked in return with a wth thrown in. Lmao ?
I've had to out my tail between my legs a few times. Back in the day when I had my Z28 I got smoked by a few "sleepers" that I thought were a cinch to beat.

Nice cool weather down here right now. I think I will get up early tomorrow before traffic picks up and do a few runs.

Lots of broken heart diesel bros around here curtesy of my Ranger. Mostley on the track. I have had my doors blown off by a nasty 12v Cummins and a full bolt on/deleted/tuned 6.7 F250. 5.0 mustangs catch me like a freight train at the 1/8-1000ft mark. Almost like I hit the brakes. A few around here in low-mid 11’s with tune only. ?

Was it a Hennessy or did someone buy Hennessy decals off amazon. I like to surprise people too but I shut it down at 60-70 mph. I think my tuned ranger is just enough to entertain me while not getting me into too much trouble.

When I had my 2001 Camaro SS, the main people who wanted to drag race me were women in minivans.

Once I had a lady powerbraking next to me at the light. My car had the SLP Loudmouth exhaust (loud, annoying, droning, but sounded like a NACAR when revved) so I revved it at her and she backed down.

But in her defense I guess it did look like an easy kill for a Honda Odyssey.
