Never quite understood guys with giant trucks that think they are somehow fast. I can tell they've never really had any exposure to actual fast cars. In other words, a guy that owns a 911 Turbo along with his Raptor would never generate this thread.

12.5-13’s 1/4mi in a 6000lb truck on 35’s is kinda fast. Look back at all the 1/4 times for sports cars over the last 30years.

I agree with this.

I remember my 2000 Mustang GT that barely broke into the 13's stock.

I also had a 2002 Camaro Z28 that would run in the 10's, but was a PITA to drive everyday.

It's all relative and the Raptor does a good job with what it is made to do and definitely isn't "slow" IMO.

I have to agree with this. Buying a raptor for speed is going to disappoint you - it's about the entire package though and what it does, it does extremely well. If you want quick, buy a muscle car or a sports car with a V8. I couldn't imagine buying the TRX for its speed considering the entire hellcat powered lineup will outperform it in that regard.

Car & Driver pegged the Gen3 on 35s at 5.2 to 60, 13.9 @ 98 in the quarter. Where did you dream up 12.5s 1/4 miles for Raptors? I don't think you're getting there on stock turbos. Hell, they got 12.2 out of the TRX.

Well I am talking tuned Raptors. My Raptor runs 12.8 1/4 mile on E50 and there are faster ones then mine. There is another one on E50 that ran 12.50 at 107 at the track. So my point is TRX and tuned Raptors are fast for what they are.

So there's "one" that ran 12.5 on E50 and you then generalize Raptors as 12.5-13s 6000 pound trucks. Okay. Raptors are not fast. Not stock, not tuned, not at all.
