Default 12 second ecoboost flex

saw this posted on svtp and just so happens to be local to me, car comes into my dealership all the time for maintenance. nice seeing it out doing work on some cars even tho i think some of those v8 cars were in serious needs of a driver mod.

Thats impressive as hell for that vehicle! But yea, some of those other drivers need their licenses revoked.

impressive for the mods as well, only has a axle back, meth kit and conservative tune. and as i've seen under the hood and under the car a few times i can confirm that's all. pretty sweet for the times.

but i wonder was that camaro he was killing a v6? i couldn't tell, but both the camaro and the charger should have been able to beat him, or atleast kept up atleast even with a bad driver.

It looked like an SS to me. That looks like a hood vent on the nose. Boys just couldn't drive their cars I guess. I like the Flex though. Didn't until I sat in one, but they make an awesome party/road trip wagon.

the challenger looked to be an R/T model (sounded like an auto too), and they're only mid 13 cars (105-106 traps).

the Camaro needed a driver mod like yesterday. anybody else notice that the red TBSS stopped the Flex's pull, and then the vid cut short right at the 1/8th line??? my bet is that one came back around on the big end

The race seemed to last at least 12 seconds or so. I doubt that was the eighth mile marker where the clip ended soon after. It sounded like the TB was deep into third gear which should be about right for a quarter mile pass.

Says his best run was 12.945@106.9 MPH! that's more than enough to mess with those guys.He seems to be cutting pretty good lights and we all know how the average driver is.

AWD too right? Looks like those Flex's can be pretty stout from a dig. Not bad top end considering the design.

yes they're awd. in the comments on the vid he said that he cuts .0xx lights all the time and has cut a couple .000 lights already with it, sounds to me like he needs to get it running consistent and bracket race lol.
