Default 5.0 beating a Raptor

So a buddy of mine owns a Raptor and always talks so crap about how fast it is and blah blah blah. Yesterday he raced me in my 2013 Fx2 with 33's, 2" leveling kit, 5.0, and 3.31 gears. From about 0-40mph we were dead even and I kind of got scared that I would start to fall behind but once we hit 45mph or so, I started to pull away! We raced all the way up to around 75mph and by that time I was 1-2 truck lengths ahead and still pulling. I know Raptors have heavier suspension and all that but still, I BEAT A RAPTOR!

How did you keep from hitting someone on the roads.

Raptor isn't a drag truck, it's heavy, bigger tires, and suspension set up for off-road. I'd be more impressed if you beat a Harley.

It was on an empty road in Mexico.

This will not be tolerated. Trucks are big and heavy and have speed limiters for a reason. If you find it nessicary to hold a grudge match with someone to prove who's "manhood" is bigger, take it to the track and don't risk the life of others on the road.

If you make a post or thread like the one below, expect it to be closed. If you continue to post threads like the one below, expect to experience some consequences.


This guy i know has been talking **** about his truck everytime i see him, claims his truck will smoke my fx4. So today I told him lets race an get it over with.

I dont know if anybody has noticed but if you press the gas pedal at the very top it revs and accerlates wayy faster then if you press it at the bottom or middle.

So we lined up and did the 3 beep an go, right off the line i was pulling on him till around 90 when i proved my point an slowed down lol. After the race he was sooo pissed haha. Figured id share that with you guys.
Any questions or concerns, feel free to PM myself or any other moderator.

Thanks
