So here I am watching some evening TV and I run across a show called Are You Faster than a Redneck. Premise of the show is to race import ricers against American muscle cars. Well on this particular show they started racing a Nissan drift car vs a F250 diesel (wtf?) which of course the Nissan wins... then up.. a 2012 Raptor SCREW vs a 2004 Mini Cooper driven by a lady LOL.. it was a 3 lap road race and lets just say it was hilarious to watch this behemoth truck trying to pull on a cooper.. Needless to say the the cooper destroyed the Raptor.. just thought it was funny.

If I were driving the Raptor in that race, I would have been in the grass and dirt making those corners much more manageable. I can only imagine the look on that girls face when she looked in the rear view and saw that Beast looking like it was about to take a bite out of that Mini! Would have liked to seen that.

Just a littler bump on the Mini in a turn could have made a difference...rubbing is racing,...

I think that show is funny. As for the Raptor vs Mini, chick had upgraded the suspension and put some camber on it. The Raptor was stock. Still, being beaten by a clown car :LOL:

Not quite Carolina Motorsports Park and Are You Faster than a Redneck but here we are at Charlotte Motor Speedway ready to do laps with the Roush Road Crew. We decided to drive the Raptor to NC rather than one of the Mustangs. Held the banking very well, however, everyone that was behind us said all they could see was this big Blue truck in front of them! LOL! Did not realize how big we looked until someone sent us this photo.
