1/4 mile, 0-60

just wondering if anyone knew the 1/4 mile time for a stock 3.0L or the 0-60 time?

if your ranger's not stock, i'd still like to know the time and what you've got on it

with a couple more power mods i think i might be able to get mine to the mid to high 17s, it might be able to do that now if i put the stock tires back on it, but i can't stand the way they look and they handle terrible

I ran against my friend's new '07 focus 2.0L/manual and somewhat barely beat it (sad but true), as well as a few 4.7L ram's, on the highway I barely made it in front of an '03ish Camry V6 going 106 mph (thanks to the Xcal2 for that one :) ) After all the little bolt on mods my truck is somewhat peppy but still slow.. lol..

Well, I need to try this out, cause I have a single cab, short bed, 4.10 L/S, with 31s(measure 29in @ 30psi) no engine mods at all... BUT, there aren't any 1/4 mile tracks around here, just 1/8 mile. At least I can see what the 0-60 time is... need to clean all the junk out...lol.

in your guys' opinion what would it take to get a 06 3.0 auto reg cab into the mid 15's

it will be on slicks and skinnys so lightweight wheels/tires. what else do i need? id say im a good driver when it comes to racing, ive got about 8-9 years under my belt on the 1320'
