Launch mode?

I was looking at Callaway trucks, but even the supercharged 6.2L Chevy is slower I think than the raptor and much more expensive with the same trim level. My guess is it would take a lot more than 65k to make a loaded 1500 or F-150 as fast as the Raptor. I think a loaded raptor for 65k is good deal for what you get, compared for what you would pay to build something similar with a standard 1500 or an F150.
