[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1539352, member: 35543"] Funny how you run your mouth, and when you get called out for lying and twisting the facts around, suddenly “it’s just trucks”. “Don’t get so defensive“ says the Gen 1 fanboy bashing Gen 2’s in the Gen 2 forum because you’re insecure. As far as modifications, there were no performance enhancing mods done to the Gen 2 aside from re-valving the shocks for the additional weight: [I] Given the 2017 F-150 Raptor’s extreme all-terrain capabilities, the race truck utilized its factory equipment across all 850 treacherous miles, including its stock engine, transmission, brakes, wheels with BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires – and even its factory air conditioning, satellite radio and windshield – often unheard of in race vehicles. [B]The Foutz Motorsports team only added a chromalloy steel safety cage, puncture-resistant fuel cell, racing seats and full race harness to meet SCORE rules. The factory-spec Raptor springs and Fox Racing shocks were adjusted to accommodate the added weight from the safety cage and fuel cell.[/B][/I] Gen 1 Baja run, which was also 220 miles shorter than the Gen 2: [I]As a result of classification, the Raptor R was prepared for hardier Baja battle by SVT engineers along with some help from [URL='http://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/']Ford[/URL] Racing and Foutz Motorsports Inc. [B]Multiple modifications were undertaken for it to keep up with the more powerful race-ready Class 8 trucks, with only the transmission, axles, brakes and frame remaining from the upcoming production model. A more powerful 500-hp raced-tuned 6.2L V-8 was placed under the hood to keep it in contention as well.[/B] [/I] That isn’t “slight modifications”. You didn’t read the article because you don’t care about the facts. All you care about is skewing the data in favor of the Gen 1. Not sure why you are so insecure and defensive. [/QUOTE]
