I would also like to add a drag race isnt pointless, it shows a clear comparison of power v weight of the new truck vs the old. Its a simple test thats been used since motoring became popular, get over it.

Ferrari keep up with Tesla? More like Porsche and the 918 as well as McLaren P1 but tesla...? You will have to tell me what tesla competes with Ferrari?

These:





The GTB wins by .02 but the Tesla has a horrible reaction time, that's the driver, not the car.
10.8/122 for the Tesla, 11.1/127 for the GTB

That's funny and a strange comparison. Ferrari not a strip car. I love the ability of the performance electric car it's instant power on tap is really awesome!

The strip isn't something Ferrari cares about.

You know it is a good thread when I can't read more than 60% of the posts. They all came out for this one OP.

Sometimes faster means faster into the wash or ditch, or into that dumpster sized boulder, careful out there guys.

Edit:

Lets sum this one up:

-Thread started with a video that showed a largely pointless comparison of the two trucks
-People point out that maybe drag racing isn't the most valid comparison of performance for two off-road trucks
-Other people get upset because speed matters
-Yet others don't understand that drag queen speed doesn't translate perfectly to the dirt.
-Some try to explain
-Explanations ignored and illogical comparisons to road cars are made
-The idea of outrunning your suspension is introduced, and largely ignored by people making road car and drag queen comparisons
-Thughunter and Gilligan have a reunion
-Zane posts a meme
-a guy named chris who misspelled his name when joining posts some rules
-And we're here....


^^^This. We need to designate someone responsible for creating an effective summary of longer threads.

I couldn't have said it better myself. This thread has gotten way off of the rails here. The video confirmed what I've been saying for wks. My gen 1 was an amazing truck and I miss certain aspects of it but my new gen 2 is better in almost every way and it's quite a bit faster. Why can't we all just get along here and not constantly get into these silly fights about which truck is better? They're both awesome trucks and I'll still smile and wave to every Raptor that I see on the road because I thought we were all on the same team here.

Because Gen I has fought progress ever since they heard of the new one having an Ecoboost, and has chosen to attack anyone and everyone who's disagreed..:33:

Sound logic and personal experience is completely uncalled for in this thread.
