HSPN / IWSTI Race Car (OMG not again! See post 1109) - Page 37

Ben, all the graphics on your car are going to add extra weight! Those GT3's might be harder to pass now. Haha, just messing with you. If anything your cars probably gonna be so fast that the decals will just rip right off with the wind.

Keep up the great work, the car looks beautiful. Can`t wait to see and get a ride in your beast one day!

**Ben** · 02-14-2006, 10:46 PM

Oh, and I almost forgot...

I sold the "STi Wagon" today and picked up my Ford F150 Lariat

. It's actually much nicer than I expected and very roomy with the 4 doors. The interior is also quite nice and VERY quiet. I ended up going with White exterior / Black leather interior. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Now I just need to find the right trailer...I'll probably be renting one for the next couple events until I make up my mind.

Alright, here are some pics of the beast

You are going to LOVE that truck. New f-150's are VERY nice. Ride, comfort, quality, power (5.4?) Buy yourself a Superchip Programmer for sure. Crisper shifts, better throttle response due to the electronic throttle.

**Ben** · 02-16-2006, 12:35 PM

I never liked trucks, but you're right, I love this thing. The interior is very nice, super quiet inside, power is definitely good (Yes it's the 5.4 V8 with 300hp / 365 ft-lbs

). Overall just a damn good truck and I'm very pleased with it.

I've never heard of the superchip programmer so I'll definitely have to pick one of those up. Thanks for the tip!

I pretty much didn't know anything about trucks until a week ago.

I came from a F-150 (2000 "old" style) before I got my STI so I know quite a bit about them. My motor was rated at 245HP stock, I believe (5.4L). I had a Catback, Intake, and Superchip, and I was dead even with a "new" 300 HP F-150.

The only thing with the new style is a LITTLE bit of lag shifting. Every Automatic is that way though. The superchip tightens that up quite abit.

hah, I bet the interior seems super quiet... considering your STi is probably a shock as far as interior sound

**Ben** · 02-16-2006, 12:43 PM

Sweet! Thanks again Mini996TT

Haha...ANYTHING is super quiet compared to that

. But compared to just about anything else I've driven it's by far and away the quietest.

**Ben** · 02-16-2006, 01:21 PM

I'm going to put the IWSTI stickers on the windows (when they arrive) and a big RED "HSPN" on the front doors

. I also have this extra C-West wing...it might look good on the truck, what do you think?

munky69 · 02-16-2006, 01:23 PM

man hope it doesn't get stolen in that neighborhood

j/k nice truck, the new ford stuff is pretty decent. you need some 24's now

**Ben** · 02-16-2006, 01:36 PM

Thanks to IWSTI for pimping my ride:

The sticker didn't come out so well in the picture, I'll have to take a close-up. And before you guys start whining about "where's my stickers!!!" I only have the left-side stickers here, so I stuck one on. When the right-side stickers come in I'll start sending them out

.

EDIT: Close-up
