We're insecure? You're the one in denial insisting your G1 is better than our G2s despite overwhelming evidence otherwise. Wait, let me help you, "Blah, blah, blah, low-end torque, blah." Yeah, we've heard it before and still no one believes you. But somehow you're convinced if you say it...

Don't say this too loudly or eles you will hurt Truckzor 's feelings. He still believes his G1 is better than our G2s.

Your right, the G1 is perfect, so GTFO the G2 section. We're all just a bunch of Starbucks wannabes and aren't worthy of your brilliant insights.

The hard part was getting the initial project signed off on, but with real sales numbers and buyers paying absurd ADMs, Ford has all the proof they need that this is a successful and lucrative project. My bigger concern is Ford's eco push. The Raptor takes engineering resources and if Ford...

That o-shit moment is not turbo lag, but the truck dropping 4 gears before applying power for transmission reliability reasons. Turbo lag is feeling the engine strain without much power until you hit the power band. Raptor has very little turbo lag because of the small, twin-turbos and you can...

Just trying to lend a hand since I know how obsessive you are about low-end torque.

Southerners introduction to driving in the snow.

Personally I'd stick with the original since it has a lot more low-end torque.

How much HP does a $40 dipstick add?

My last dozen posts went over your head, so I figured "I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you" was more your speed. Peace.

I love your self portrait. Your mom must be so proud.

Dude, enjoy your onion.

Not sure why you think Ford's engineers are any less capable than Rocketdyne's engineers. But if you don't think Ford knows what they are doing, why are you driving a Ford? That makes you dumber than Ford's dumb engineers.

A twin-engine airplane has all the same systems as a single-engine airplane, yet a twin-engine airplane is exactly 2x as likely to suffer a mechanical engine failure as a single-engine airplane. I'd love to see you explain that one using your systems line of logic. As for turbos, did you know...

Wrong. More parts = more opportunities for failure. It's not rocket science, but a person needs better than average intelligence to understand it. Average real world fuel economy on this forum is around 16mpg. What MPG do you get out of your less powerful 6.2? Lots of guys on this forum...

Turbocharged engines are simpler than larger cylinder counts. One spinning turbo and some duct work versus everything needed to support two additional cylinders. More moving parts = more opportunities for failure. You are also obsessed with your truck's torque at 1k rpm, but this ain't a...

Even at the same PSI, the Raptor has the edge on the PowerWagon because it is more than 1k lighter and has bigger and wider tires.

Instructors at Raptor Assult said the rear end is the weak link in the drivetrain and will need to be upgraded before Ford can add more power.

Good call. I had an X5 loaner last week and that was one of the most boring cars I've ever driven. And that is saying a lot since I am/was a huge BMW fan. That car has zero personality. The M might up it a little, but at its core it is still a soccer mom's car. I drove it to where I need to be...

Opposite for me. White was my 3rd choice, but it has really grown on me.

When I bought, white was my 3rd choice after blue and red. Never had a white vehicle and I was skeptical when people said it was super easy to keep it looking good. Wow were they right. I hose it off quickly and leave huge water spots all over the tuck. But it is so darn hard to see the water...

I could see some people overpaying for a stripped Raptor given how large the price delta is to the typically equipped Raptor. Smallest house in a nice neighborhood kind of thing.

In those conditions, the Raptor's far lighter weight and much larger tire footprint are probably what made the biggest difference.

I disagree with the dog comment above. There is a small lag between flooring it and the truck taking off, but when it starts pulling, it is anything but a dog. In 2wd it definitely pushes the rubber to the limits of traction in the lower gears.
