Fair Drag Race..Finally

[VERNN]

My 21 won’t put in 4A in sport either. 4A on sport is only for R.

Switching to Sport mode on my 21 Platinum puts it in 4A. Do you have the Off-Road package?

Hahaha! Aka “poverty spec truck”

I actually remember when driving a $50k truck was as expensive as one could get in a truck.

Don't remember the year but hearing about a $70k F150 Limited blew my mind. Based on current costs that may have been back in the early 2000's, ha!

And some of us remember when you couldn't spend as much as $5k on a new pickup ....

Don’t age yourself that much!

I ordered a new 1979 F150 loaded 4x2 and it was 7260. My dad’s new 1966 F100 was 2400.

Finally a fair drag between these two Super Trucks. In this race the TRX is on 37’s.

If you are going to make them equal with tires shouldn’t you also add 500 pounds in the Raptors box??? You can’t tell me weight doesn’t factor into a race, just like tires!

Yeah I totally agree about the tires and the TRX already out weighs the Raptor. I guess they figured it looked cooler than what it was worth in weight.

Interesting. Raptor doesn’t have off road pkg option. Are you on powerboost? That one has more low end torque so it may need 4A to launch. Although 3.5 HO EB on Raptor also exceeds rear tires grip when launch. For R, even 30% throttle will spin the rear when launch.

Heck, when I was a kid in the 60s, I‘d get 2 slices of excellent pizza and a soda for 60 cents, a roast beef hero for a buck, and my dad would fill his checker cab at 30 cents a gallon.
