The Answer Is Not Always Miata

[Zargon]

that does nothing to prove that its not underwhelmingly powered

its just 'cheap' and handles well

Just that it is cheap. The answer is only ever Miata if your budget doesn't allow for a real car.... :whiste:

No, but HP numbers are so often the tool of paper racers to dismiss or accept a sports car when it is just one facet of driving and only a small part of what makes a car enjoyable.

Other obvious troll is obvious.

 

[Squeetard]

Miata is the most powderpuff raced car in the world.

Sharp truck. Really looks good. Please don't lift it, put balloon tires on it and make yourself look like a tool.

So you live in the greater San Jose area and are driving a Raptor -

I would have gone with a Dodge Power Wagon but hey, thats just me.

I doubt you see 11mpg once the SC is installed. More like 8mpg.

Beautiful truck OP! You got it well optioned, and with the 6.2L no less. Plus the roush kit, it will be megabadass. Major jelly of your cash . If I had that money, I'd do exactly the same, no desire for a car.

Nice ride. Raptor's are back road kings. Bombing a Raptor down a crappy fire road at insane speeds is one of life's true joys.

So much this. :awe:

Thanks! I might put different rims on it at some point, but no plans to lift it.

Looks like one without those.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Try telling that to all of the people that use the MX-5 as their tool of choice for the track.

Jeez guys relax, I'm just pulling your legs.

Are these the new Al Ford trucks or is that next year?

 

[Wuzup101]

These are the old body style... 2015 is the new style with heavy use of aluminum... Not for sale yet... And no raptor for 15.

That truck is awesome.
ROFL at all the jelly this thread is generating from old ladies who drive 130 hp 4 bangers.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

34 gallon tank, so about 340 mile range per fillup. Of course, it's going to cost a shit ton of cash to fill it at 11mpg...

Is that before the supercharger and Roush exhaust?

 

[slugg]

I don't get the point of "nice" pickup trucks. You're supposed to throw shit into them and beat them up. If (big if) I ever get a truck, it'll be a beater, as that actually makes sense.

 

[joutlaw]

Those trucks are seriously nice. Every vehicle should have A/C seats available as an option.

That's why I didn't bother arguing with you :biggrin:

And yes, I'm super jelly of a truck that costs more than both of my cars combined, and yet has a slower 0-60 than either. I'm so jelly that you could spread me on toast. [he said quite sarcastically]

Seriously though, it's always good to get what you want, so, congratulations OP. Enjoy the new whip!

for real

 

[ballmode]

When all a bunch of Miata's race I do find it boring as the races are very very close and its hard to find your space on the track. But to each their own

You forgot to say "slower 0-60 than either when and only when we are on a nice smooth paved road".

You've never been to Texas, Have you?

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaad.

I gained 2 mpg when I supercharged my Camaro. All that added low end torque really helps when cruising.

What's a nice, smooth, paved road?

You've been out of NH too long.
