I've seen all those videos. I'm not dissing the EB at all, just saying that I wouldn't pay the premium price they ask for it if I wasn't going to use it as intended.

I got my 14 on D plan. But yes the EB is not cheap.

It's only a $750 or $1350 option IIRC. It's not much different in price at all and mpg can make up for it.

Bought ours as a new demo (2012- bought "new" in 8/12). 6k miles, never been registered so we got factory rebates and stuff still- $27500 with 5/60 warranty and all the other new car stuff.

I want to see too! Or I think you meant gas mileage "fender to Fender" with a slowstang.

Not talking mileage. These trucks with a few bolt ons and a good tune can run high 12's at 5600+ pounds all day long. I wasn't trying to call anyone out or bet on a race was just trying to educate a little about how badass the EB motor in these trucks really is. I'm usually at coit every friday if you want to go for a ride in it...

So a truck that weighs 1 ton more with the same or less hp will run what the mustang will? Im in the wrong vehicle.

If it can hook lol

But EB are monsters. My buddy's edged me out from 60ish-120ish, with just intake, exhaust, and tune on his when mine was stock. From a dig though there's no traction

I'd say the 12 second ones though are like mid 400 rwhp(if not 500) and probably 700 rear wheel torque. Just a guess though
