it's all about traction, doesn't matter how much power you have if you can't plant it. What isn't shown is whether they had any weight int he Dodge, or 4 wheel drive maybe, they had too mcuh grab for it to have been an equal setup...

the tires were smoking the first time, and hopping the second time, both show traction problems...

johaner78 is starting off with a positive reputation.
yea, that's enough to make me cry too. I agree with fellro86, traction is everything and what that ford needed was more weight, definitely!

well, they may not be as heavy in the rear as some, but makes for better floating in mud and watnot imo.
