[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1444308, member: 35543"] I'm interested in your concept, but I'm not sure I concur with your estimate that 85MPH in a Taurus SHO is equivalent to 65MPH in a truck such as a Raptor. The drag coefficient of the Raptor is massive; between the blunt front end, lack of any lower air dam, and the turbulence that occurs between the cab/bed of any pickup, there is a significant difference in wind resistance. Couple that with the 35" All Terrains and 4.10 gears, and I can easily see why our trucks get into boost maintaining the upper end of highway speeds. Having owned both versions (both Gen II 3.5) the XLT could easily sustain 75MPH without much TP input while the Raptor is more like pushing a house through the air. [/QUOTE]
