All well and good. I prefer the Lightning that Ford won't build.

That dude's reaction time is probably about 50% of it

And 4 wheel drive. I imagine a professional driver in any of those cars would win, but it is amazing to me a 4wd 4 door half ton truck even stands a chance.

Yeah, I would love to see time slips/ET for true comparison. And I bet he lost (by ET) to most of those cars that were still snoozing at the starting line when he was 60' already. The hellcat and ZL1 were making up ground QUICK

Regardless, its pretty impressive for a truck.

Also, still sounds like a V6. Not enough V8 sounds piped into the cabin.

Looks like bracket racing; would be nice to be able to see the tree.

4wD launches plus he is already at max torque by 2300 RPM in first and second gear on launch while some of those v8 aren't hitting it until 5000 rpm.

He has a huge advantage in the first 250 feet or so.

FWIW, that engine can really launch any car fast. Looked up my wife's 17 expedition EL, which is like 365/420, and it officially does 6.5 0-60, and I believe it. Take off 1000 lb, I can see 5's.

Replacement for displacement - nope.

Goose is on it, this is bracket racing and the truck is getting a head start. Corvette/Mustang/Camaro boys happy to take him on heads up.

Looks fake. Really, all of those other cars are that slow off the line and can't catch him?

How terrible for the transfer case are 4WD launches? Any worse than cars with AWD?

Probably not the best. Part time 4WD wasn't designed to run on dry pavement really.
