[QUOTE="2014RubyRed, post: 976087, member: 16927"] Ok, ok - I'll say it. I think that it is pretty cool that they did this race. Although none of the other manufacturers had anything that could compete (or finish) it is still a race. This is obviously a pretty grueling run looking at the amount of other vehicles that didn't make it. Ford needs to keep showing the public that this truck is capable of doing this type of thing. I guess we need to remember that on some of our Raptor runs, there are trucks that have mechanical issues. We all stop and help fix them. Then we all continue on. I experienced that myself this year at Snoball. Something small like a thermostat shut me down. I guess the biggest thing that started all this shit storm stuff was Ford bragging about how much better this truck was going to be over the Gen 1's and then NOT providing any information to back it up or prove it. Did this new Gen 2 do better than the Gen 1? We don't know because there wasn't a Gen 1 entered. Is the Gen 2 better at anything over the Gen 1? Again, we don't know because no one will tell us. Even the guys with the new Gen 2's won't tell anybody anything. So, I am guardedly optimistic that if Ford keeps testing and running this truck in these races that it will be AS good as the Gen 1. Better? Remains to be seen. I know I am really interested to see some of the questions we all have answered. I hope we don't have to wait until the damn thing is actually released to get information. That is a mistake IMO. It's actually kind of amazing that Ford won't release any specs pertaining to actual horsepower and torque. It doesn't really make me want to run to the dealer and get on a list to purchase. I mean, WTF are we really getting? So, if some are correct and Ford is looking in on us to see what we think: Release some information already!!!
