Gen I Destroyed by Gen II...

too bad he didnt have that gen 1 with the supercharger, i think with the supercharger it would have did just what the the gen2 did. honestly though both a great trucks. personally i like the v8 better. going down the road with an angry bumblebee is fun sure, but it doesnt feel the same.

The SC might make it closer but that old Raptor still weighs a whopping 500 lbs more. Please post a vid if he's man enough to line up. He probably won't.

Based on what I've seen, it matters which tune is in the Roush G1. They can be as low as 525hp and as high as 650hp - all depends on who they bought it from.

This guy will definitely line up. It'll be crew on crew so we'll see a fairly accurate representation. I'll be sure to post a video, if my truck ever arrives.

I don't think it's a surprise that a truck at least 300 and at most 500lbs lighter with a 39hp/130tq advantage is quicker in an acceleration contest.
I'd be interested to see a G1 with 3.0s compete with a G2 in the dirt. The Factory Fox shocks on the G1 were garbage, wrong spring rate and less than optimum valving. That would be a true comparison of what each platform is capable of.

Does it matter? The Gen1 truck will be running dor many more miles than the gen2
