[QUOTE="Mike Corn, post: 893673, member: 67478"] I think you guys are missing the point of this vehice. The F150 Lightning was all engine mods for fast running. The purpose for the raptor was almost 100 percent ride, handling, off road capability. True it uses the native 5.4 liter triton engine as its power. But it was not designed for street racing. It can jump dunes or hills at 50 miles per hour. This is exactly why the sales guy at ford said "they should have put a supercharger in it". IMO that would have increased heat in the engine compartment which would have a negative impact on the hard driving it was intended for. It may be as Fast as a 4.6 STrac, however this thing is more off road, and the ST is really not for running baja dunes at high speeds. Go look at one up close, look at that dang skidplate under the chassis and the shocks that it comes with. [/QUOTE]
