I could only find info on vehicles separate and had to go off of a ecoboost drag times. The 6.2 and eco are dead even the whole way down the drag strip.
All based on Inside Line testing
The chevy 0-60 is 6.6 sec and 14.9 1/4 at 94.1
The eco 0-60 is 6.5 sec and 14.6 1/4 at 95.0

Raptor 6.2's with 35" tires aren't going to hit 60 in 6.5 and they aren't going to do the 1/4 in 14.6 secs.

Here are some real world numbers:

First Drive Review: 2010 6.2-liter V-8 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - PickupTrucks.com News

from the article:
" we measured a best zero-to-60 mph time of 7.61 seconds"
"In the quarter-mile, we hit 89.04 mph in 15.86 seconds."

Those GM 6.2's are beasts! I'm not sure a Raptor could take one in a drag race. But why would you want to drag race a Raptor?

So if I run across that same "fratty" guy at a stop light.

What should I do?
Smile and wave and let him leave you in his dust. That way when he kills himself, or far worse someone else, you had no part in it and can sleep at night.

So just cuz the Raptor is a off road truck, none of you have ever hit it harder then you should have getting on the freeway?

I love the way the Raptor shoves me in the seat when I drop the hammer.

Street Light showdowns are fun every so often.

And for now my Raptor is my daily driver and sees little off road, so street is what this particular Raptor lives on.

Take it to the dirt and dominate. Or if its a street queen take it to the track and get your ass kicked.

Either way keep it off the street.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I am the mayor of the town and have arranged for a few city blocks to be closed down with EMS personal on standby, and a SVT Raptor and a 6.2 Z71 wanted to have a good ol fashioned "American Graffiti" moment. Ron Howard even showed up.

So the green light drops, who would win?
