Somehow, I don’t think the engineers at Ford were planning on their off road warrior to be a rolling emblem for the dark side. Despite that fact… It’s still pretty freaking sweet. The owner of the truck is Oskaloosa, Iowa resident Trey Laymon. Instead of covering the Raptor with mud and dust, he’s vinyl wrapped […] More »
Wanna see something cool? There are a lot of videos of F-150s doing burnouts on YouTube. That’s a fact. That said, there’s a surprising lack of videos featuring the F-150 Lightning doing to the deed. Apparently the guys at Bullet Motorsports felt the same way. But instead of writing about it on a blog, they […] More »
Talk about an even match up! Races like this just prove that raw speed isn’t the only thing that makes drag racing exciting. Compared to real, fast trucks, 13 seconds isn’t all that, but that’s still pretty quick for your daily driver. The silver Ford on the left lane is our hero. It’s a 2011 […] More »

As much as I love comparing statistics and ooh-ing and ahh-ing over numbers, there’s really no better way to illustrate superiority than a direct comparison. Hennessey is great at making things fast; the 600 horsepower on the VelociRaptor is proof of that. That’s impressive, but it’s much more impressive when you can see exactly how far the […] More »
The Raptor SVT’s current performance darling, but before it they built another truck to fight a slightly different battle. That truck was the F-150 Lightning. Where the Raptor was built to be a road-going trophy truck, the lightning (as it’s name implies) was built for speed. Of course it wasn’t the only the game in […] More »
