[QUOTE="Bombsquad68, post: 1102454, member: 20615"] He shouldn't feel bad, G2 Raptor runs the same 1/4 miles as the G2 Lightning going off magazine times, although I remember some L's ran mid 13s in perfect conditions. If anything it's impressive that a big ass off-road truck can hang with what was considered reasonably fast 15 years ago. More than the G1 can say. The Lightning made lots of sweet blower whine and good torque off bottom but it ran out of steam on the top end, also heat soaked after a run or two. I'd rather have the 6.2L than that engine in a Raptor. Don't forget the Harley Davidson F150 was a 2wd quad cab and was Eaton supercharged with the Lightning engine. They were more like low 14's trucks, but pretty cool nonetheless. This whole business of having a truck that can do essentially anything, and be seriously quick, and get good mileage when you want is what makes me excited about current downsized turbo engines. It would have been cooler Ford could put cylinder deactivation and went aluminum block on the old 6.2L but that's not what they did. You guys can bitch and moan as the world moves on. [/QUOTE]
