This guy in the video is an idiot, right? But lokiwolf claims every week, he drives his Expedition like this. The original OP, wants to 'launch' his? Then I get lectured? You guys need serious help. By the way, I know more about the '4th gen', then half the actual owners on this forum.

I know this is a ford forum but I'm selling My stock 2006 GTO 6.0L 58Kmiles that I purchased new in 06. It will indulge your need for speed if anyone has room for it in their garage. 0-60's about 4.2 and 60-140 will make you smile or wet your ******* depending on your perspective. I never got to the 155 limiter :chicken:. It has launch control too, I never used it. Buy it and save your 22's for hauling the kids to LL or dance class.

Remember when you had no idea that the expy had a locker and that it was impossible to smoke tires? That was funny.

I never said I do burnouts, but have broken the Rears loose from a dead stop on dry pavement with Stock tuning without issue. Burnouts are capable.

Haha. Dude everything you posted about the 4th Gen in this thread alone was wrong.

You think a Posi is a locker, it isn’t. You thought the 4th Gen did not have a limited slip, it does, it even has an electronic lock mode. You thought it wouldn’t spin the wheels on dry pavement, it will.

Anything can be “launched”. We used to launch Mustang GT’s in the 90’s. Stock my 4th Gen is faster 0-60. Tuned on 93 it is faster than a 99 SVT Cobra.

Please keep proving how much you “know”. It is entertaining. [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji482][emoji897]

Thanks for the offer, but I have a 7 seat SUV that does this...

I never said that. I said 'I think' and nothing about 'smoking' the tires. The Expedition is not a high performance sports car. The so-called electric locker is for 4wd, not the drag strip. Ford equips the Mustang with special race features. The rental video is called a brake press/neutral drop . Flooring the gas while holding the brakes, than slam into drive. The Expedition could never do that, by just hitting the gas alone. It looked like a 2014 in video to me, that would be the V8.
