Yeah, the F1 is spinning its tires quite a lot... Maybe putting tire warmers on first would have changed the outcome (I’d be surprised to hear they weren’t used at all). Or maybe not.

I don’t think the F1 car *lost* traction after taking off, and don’t those things have traction control?

The H2R is a dedicated, track only bike. It is on track tires. 

The F1 car had the bike out of the gate, then they shifted into second gear and the bike got into its stride.

You’re just bitter because no automaker has adopted any of your ideas about making an Antarctica-built 3 wheeled roadster powered by twin microjet engines (thrust propulsion, of course) and steered by a NES joystick.

Increasing emissions regs forced automakers to make engines that burn fuel more efficiently. They’re the reason engines like the Hellcat exist at all. If you want to go back to smog choked 100 hp 7.0 V8s, well Trump is your guy. 

Ha! That’s the joke. There are no high end cars at a Chevy or ford dealership

Colin Chapman would drive the Tesla. Just saying.

Drag slicks and race gas, are you stupid? 

Supposedly if you leave it completely stock, Corvettes are covered for track day (non-racing) use.

It looks like GM and KBB agree; if you’re looking to buy a truck to go off road, buy a Raptor. 

That time was verified by the NHRA. 

It was stock, and that is a verified time. Running race gas, skinny front tires, and using launch mode and the trans brake, with warm tires on a prepped track the Demon is a 9 second car. These guys were running pump gas and cold tires. 

Where I live $15k is added to every Raptor. Not sure how firm they are on it but they seem to sell. 

That’s the price of a lux package Raptor plus about $10k in dealer markup. 

The Raptor is designed for the open desert, fire roads and sand washes and open track. If you think a Jeep can keep up and not wind up on its lid you’re crazy. 

The Ranger Raptor has a diesel in India and Australia, but if it came to the US it would definitely have a different engine. The off road market in most countries is more about range than it is about power, and the US doesn’t really have that problem. We like gas trucks here.

I think if the Ranger gets the 2.7, it’ll be in the Ranger Raptor. If it comes to the US, which it basically has to. 

Here’s a Ranger parked next to a 1st gen Raptor.
