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.

Nope...Wrong again.

See, you don't even know how to visually tell the newer ones apart, but yeah you know them better. That is a 15-17. 3rd Gen Body style with LED Fogs. Also has the huge low hanging muffler in the rear, tell tale of the EB powered 3rd Gen's. Even a thread on here with parts on how to remove and side exit behind the passenger rear wheel. Not to mention the headlights are different for the 15-17. Then later in the video when it burns out the 2nd time you can see the Chrome bar all the way across the rear...also a tell tale of the 15-17.

You do not have to Neutral drop it to spin the wheels. On that slick concrete under that overhang it would EASILY spin with just brake and throttle. You realize the rear brakes generate less pressure right?

Please keep going...I was having a PIA day at work...this is making me smile.

Who gives a $hit. You guys are nothing but wannabes. You drive 'full size' SUVs designed to 'save gas' and TOW, not race. They weigh 5000lb+. Why the hell do a couple clowns keep insisting, they are high performance?

Seems the only thing you keep getting right is how to construct a strawman fallacy.

HAHAHA....Yep wannabes.... That is us.

Now he has mentioned a V8(Previous Post), and resorted to cussing. Circle complete. Mission accomplished!

Where did I say it was High Performance? Please show me. Quote/Screen Shot...show me.

It still Tows, transports the family, but can hustle when I want it to.

I have said their performance will surprise you for the size. Dude, please keep going...I needed the distraction.

For those of you just joining, here is the Score, and how each point was scored...

@rjdelp7 - 0 @LokiWolf - 4

Point 1 - RJ thought the 4 Gen did not have limited Slip....It does.
Point 2 - RJ thought it could not spin the tire on dry pavement....It can.
Point 3 - RJ thinks a posi is a Locker....It isn't.
Point 4 - RJ thought the Expy in the Video was a 14 with a V8....it wasn't

I would like to thank @carymccarr for several assists! Especially the YouTube video...that was icing at its best!

Good Christ already... why are you such a gobshite? The weight of something does not dictate whether or not something is performance. Who in the hell made you the end-all be-all to item classification. The only clown on this forum is you.

It is obvious to me that you, are a horribly bitter person and the real "wannabe" here. You do not have half the knowledge you would have others believe. I do not know whether you are pathological and actually believe your own tripe or are just a simple troll. I have yet to come across any post by you where you are not contradicting somebody, insulting them or generally just being a tool. I would be willing to bet that you're full of Google experience and that you have very little heuristic knowledge in regards to what you speak. If you do you certainly do not convey it. Frankly, who the hell are you to tell anyone they shouldn't do anything unsolicited? Why shouldn't somebody race an Expedition if they want to? Why shouldn't somebody track an Expedition if they want to? Most importantly, why the hell are you so bothered by anyone doing anything with their property?

You have reached the height of being a total gowl saying that a full sized body on frame SUV is designed to save gas in support of your argument that it is not performance. That statement, using your own logic (if you can actually call what you spew logic) against you, is equally as converse as you claim performance is, to the design of the Expedition.

In reality, the Expedition is a performance vehicle and beyond that can damn sure be made high performance with modifications. To LokiWolf and others, et al, I think you guys should strive to get these machines to sub 5 second 0-60. Why? Just because you can and because it ****** people like rjdelp7 off so much so that they are compelled to come on forums to provide us comedic relief!

I've seen some pretty "good" arguments on forums in the past. Heck, I've even engaged in a few ...but this is probably one of the most pointless back-and-forth's I've encountered.

Yet here I am still, eating popcorn ...waiting for a meaningful ******.


So who's gonna post a video (of lighting-up the tires of their own $55K+ Expy)?

I must be in a rather saucy mood today. Normally, I won't engage in pointless debates with anyone... other than my wife. If it wasn't so hot here in The Old Pueblo I might, just to spite myself, be the one!

I would so do it, but I wouldn’t prove anything, cause I am not Stock right now, and I would have to drive like 300 miles tonight to do it!

Come on! Somebody stock, DO IT! Don’t need to roast them, just a little spin.
