Drag Strip Launch

[MJslasherADMIN]

How many guys buy Raptors that never make it off road? Regularly off road, like what it was built for? 60% easily are only street driven. The vast majority that buy it do so because they love the truck as a whole. I don't take mine off road, I've had plenty of fast cars that I didn't drag race. To each is own. I can say I've owned some great purpose built vehicles that I just drove because I enjoyed them.

80 percent never use them offroad is my guess. Starbucks, mall crawlers and grocery getters.

^ Dude if he wants to run his truck what's the big deal? Plenty of people do it. He was speaking to those who have done it and asking for advice. Clearly you're not one of them

Well I'm no Dragstrip rookie been going for almost 30 years. Truck ran a 14.6 consistently 2.184 60 foot times. I ran in sport mode 4a. I checked the Air Density for the runs and they where right around 2100ft so definitely not ideal when my local track is 121ft above sea level. Also I thought turbo charged engines where not effected as much a NA Engines. One thing I wish I could have changed was my last fill up was with 87 octane as I had a long highway trip and was just going to burn through it anyway. I pulled up to the track with a 1/4 tank and didn't want to add anymore gas

Did you boost launch @ around 2k RPMs?

Nice job. Ignore the clowns who ********** on every thread with useless drivel. Most of them don't even have Gen 2s.

Good to see you took it out and had fun. Epping street nights sucks balls as far as surface prep goes. Rather, they do not do any prep whatsover so its a huge crapshoot depending on the day. I've had my cars up there multiple times and some days are good some bad, surface and traction wise.

Yes not sure exactly what RPM but I tried to get the Turbo's spooling before launch.

Seriously. There's an thread in the Gen2 section where some idiot claimed his 17 Raptor was faster than an SRT8 Jeep. I'm going to try to find it.
