No disrespect but, if your so into drag racing and modding,(which it seems like you are), why do it with a Flex? I just don't understand why someone would want to spend all that time and money to make a Ford Flex fast...

It's cool i guess, and definately original, but don't you think you would have more fun with something that was meant to go fast?

Anyhow... Im not trying to knock you or anything, and i hope i don't offend you, was just curious that's all...

Making fast cars faster is easy and expected. Making other vehicles that you wouldn't think are fast faster is more fun.

I have had MORE fun building and racing my should be high 12 second Escalade ESV compared to my low 12 second Camaro.

THIS!!!

I have had more run running this Flex than any other vehicle I've ever owned! The reaction from the the guys in the pits has been absolutely priceless!

And actually I have very few go fast mods... it is basically a methanol injection kit and a dyno tune!

Wow, that Flex is Bad Azz, very impressive, that is so cool the way you have the two camera angles.

Congrats John. Didn't see this thread before.

Just tell the nay sayers, a line you taught me.

It's a V6 thing, you wouldn't understand.

To be able to get a 5100 soccer mom mobile into the 12's is just incredible.

all people need to do is look at the video and see what you sent home packing.

Thanks... I had a GoPro 960 and decided to upgrade to a Hero 2... then I thought why the heck not use the 960 also! Very easy to edit and put the video together... (I used Adobe Premiere)

scrming · 04-24-2012, 08:04 PM

Thanks guys!

@motorhead - Livernois does have tunes for the EB F-150! LOL
