My Flex, is kind of the anti-minivan... you would NOT believe the number of people that STOP and take a picture of my rear window sticker:

Oh... and here is the Trailblazers from MY point of view:

You need to come out to Lapeer some time and watch her run! LOL!

I always love good sleepers. You have an excellent one. I love the rear window sticker. So many people here have that crap on the back of their SUV's and minivans.

It's fun coming across threads like this:

http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78437

or the 2001 Stage 3 Roush Mustang that I beat that posted:

"my daughter videoed me racing this BAD ASS ford flex with a way modified SHO engine and all wheel drive"

Little did he know it really is just a simple tune and methanol! LOL

So yeah, i pretty much surprise everyone! 5000 pound, soccer-mobile doing 0-60 MPH in about 4.3 seconds...LOL!

That being said.... I would love to surprise people a the stop lights, but i resist the temptation and save it for the track! Where I can video tape it and provide timeslips!

BAAAHHHHHAAAAHAHAHA!! I just read that post.
Priceless!

You would not believe how many people stop me to ask me where I got that sticker! Or how many people stop to take a picture of it! LOL

I think you're the only one who understands that gesture.

With your HP and Torque numbers, I am still in disbelief. I didn't know it was possible to run your numbers with just 397lbft torque, but I see that it's all available at just over 2000rpm.

What's your 60' times?

AWD helps a lot too. A lot. . . IIRC his 60's are in the 1.9s.

Yes, AWD is definitely HUGE! Especially on Test and Tunes when track prep is considered poor... My 60's after the lastest tweak seem to be mostly 1.9x with an occasional 2.0x.
