Raptor vs 3.5

[OPT PRIME]

The 0-70+ and 1/4 mike times/trap speeds where the most interesting... both done without trailer.

I'm thinking it had to do with traction available, street tire vs off-road. Also wonder if they did it in 4A with AdvanceTrac off, that makes a WOLRD of difference.

I know I'm right. I knew I was right all along

And it will be more torque under 3k RPM once bigger turbos are added. And bigger turbos are required for the little 3.5 to get closer to the big boy power levels the 6.2 and 5.0 are capable of. The 5.0 is making over 800 horse with just a Whipple.

You realize an 800hp offroad truck is retarded, right? But I bet it makes you popular with the cars and coffee crowd, which I'm sure is the only thing you care about.

Right...... because no real off road trucks have 800hp. Ummm .

I think that had more to do with the Raptor's bigger tires, less areo design etc than the engine. Here is a link to TFL where they raced a 2018 3.5 Lariat compared to a Raptor. The Raptor should have won based on the engine, but the Lariat won fairly easily with a less powerful engine.

Man, now that you guys know we were right all along, you should hear you guys backpedaling... it sounds even more pathetic than your exhaust notes.
