do you find you have to lock the rear to prevent doing a one wheel peel?

Hay, All this hasn't been mentioned that 3.3 na has a 6 Speed transmission that's why there isn't a Sport mode of the other drive modes and you cant lock out upper gears

Oh shoot that's right, 6 speed still. Also explains some of the slowness.

The one time I accidentally left a pair of smoking black streaks behind me, it was both tires, no locking

Ha ha yeah this is greatly influenced by the person and what they are used to. I am used to high(er) performance vehicles. So it is all very relative. I've owned an SS Camaro, Supercharged Jaguar, 300m, Charger, etc. My bud is actually used to slugs. He has driven some major junk in his life so for him to say performance sucks is saying a lot. I do love my KR with the 5.0 but kind of wish I had given the Raptor a little more attention perhaps taken it home for the night.

I'm pretty sure that was a straight up joke and doug has never driven any ecoboost. But he is used to a supercharged V8 so, probably the same in terms of being used to faster
