I haven't run one but they arn't all that. I have seen a few 1/4' mile runs and if I remember correctly they were around 14.9. Which is good for a stock truck. I think the 6.2's are a little quicker. I have run a 6.2 Raptor on a 55mph roll and was able to pull 2 cars on him.

I ran one from a slow roll, when we hit it, he pulled away a little but I was spinning, but once I caught traction I rolled by him pretty quick and pulled away a few lengths, then the distance between us stayed pretty even on top end but he didnt gain any.

When I was at Edgewater this past Friday, there was one claiming to be 100% stock running consistent 14.90s @ 91.5 mph. the truck was a 4X4 Crew with a 6.5 ft bed. I don't know the gearing, but it may have had a tow package based on the mirrors.

I hear alot of hype about them around here in my town but i wanted to hear from you guys instead.there are alot of raptors here but never see them go against a gm.and my wife is a ford fan and thinks this truck is the ****, a guy with one revved at me so we left at the light and heard him spool up but he wasn't going any faster than me,i beat him by a fender.the ford was a ccsb 4x4 so we were even on the match up.not bad for a stock 4.8.ccsb 4x2.
