Look, you put **** and long hair on something and most guys will try to play with them. You put wheels and a kick *** motor in something and most guys will want to drag race them. Who here with an EB hasn't looked at the 5.3 Chevy next to him and without lighting up the tires or spinning up the turbos just had the simple satisfaction that if you wanted to you could beat his ***? Just sayin, you don't have to; you just know you can if you want to.

I just scanned this entire thread. Warsurfer you make complete sense. I completely believe that on the street yours is slower, it's made to go fast in dirt. Put a FX4 eco next to a 6.2 Raptor in the sand. 1/4 mile that.
My truck is still faster then yours. On the street! ;-)
Nothing wrong with that though!

wtf is wrong with people though, seriously they are trucks not race cars, stop trying to race something that was never intended for that
build a real car then brag not no ***** v6. (no offense to the eco owners just the ones who think they own a race car "gimmie11s" :-P )

Case in point: cdvaight saying his truck is fast..... Mis-info at its best.
Lol!

Are you two sharpies in the wrong forum or just trolling? No one is arguing 5.0 vs eco or talking the merits of the Raptor off road........
This thread is about a man's drag racing experience and the different factors that contribute to mph and e.t.
Try adding something useful to the discussion before pulling your pants down in front of everyone just to show them exactly what "not enough" looks like.

2nd: No, it started off as his drag racing experience then turned south like every other thread on here...go figure, huh? "F" again...
3rd: Just leveling the playing field...people wanna argue about all the variables between an EB & Raptor trying to one or the other the nod so I suggested a few jumps be added after I made a post earlier where some intellectually challenged souls whined because the Raptor has 4.10s and were totally negating the fact the it has 35in shoes compared to the other trim's almost 32" shoes. What's wrong with that? Or do you get an "F" for reading comprehension as well?

The fact alone that the EB gets picked on by all motors should say enough right there. Is the EB the new measuring stick?
..........carry on..............
