No clue, dude should hit the track. It's only got some bolt-ons and tuned on 93. Needs to run ethanol and make it a 60 ft slaying machine lol. I think i a good day he could run basement 12's.

a dig-to-50 run is all about launch and torque...after that aerodynamics and horsepower take over...so the F150 has advantage maybe up to 50-60mph IMO.

Talking

Pre tune, mine cut a 1.7 with a 70 shot launch. 100 shot launch is pretty brutal (594 ft/lbs at 2000rpm - ~2500+ ft/lbs at the trans output) , and likely what I’ll be using this year, should be 1.6’s, prolly won’t be any faster than that on 32” All terrains and 3.55's

That Focus reeling in the truck (looked like the truck had him for the most part) says one of 2 things, either the truck isn't that fast, or the focus is modded. Any 12 second truck should show tail lights to a focus RS no problem.RS's run a mid to low 13 stock.

Back to the 2018 - The gearing advantage alone with the 10 speed is HUGE, I'm jealous. However, at some point, axle limitations are going to come into play.

Focus RS is a fun little car but I walk those things from a dig pretty bad, my stall with my 4x4 made digs fun as hell lol I'm never below 4k and I launch right into my powerband.

A stock RS is slooooooow. They pick up 100 whp and more than that in torque with a few mods and some tuning. Similar to the ecoboost 3.5's honestly.
