Had to share - our Flex vs the Porsche...
 

Ok... just had to share this fun little video I made last week of our Ford Flex EcoBoost running against a Porsche Cayman S. The Porsche owner did come over afterwords to ask me "What the hell did you do to that thing?" LOL! Think he was a bit shocked and disappointed his new Porsche lost to a 5000 pound BRICK!

how to stage.

Yep,it's the wife's... although when I tell people it's the wife's, she always says it's not... that's when I tell her, "You get custody Monday through Friday... I get it on the WEEKENDS!!!" LOL!

Yeah, he was trying to keep a stiff upper lip when we were talking afterwords... but you could tell he was disappointed!

He actually didn't do to bad for a newbie... I've seen a lot of newbie's try to stage with their REAR tires! LOL! He also drove straight through the water instead of going around it. He actually had a pretty good R/T... it was .14x i think... Mine was pretty crappy on that particular pass.

He ran a 14.2 to my 13.5.... and with the heat and humidity, we were both off a solid .5... so with better weather would bput the Porsche in the 13.7 range... which i'm not sure, but I seem to think that is about right for that car..

Thanks! I actually had a guy come up to me in the pits that just the week before he was trying to explain to his son what a "sleeper" was... he then got a big smile, pointed to the Flex and said, "Now THAT is a sleeper!" LOL
