Since Chevy really doesn't compete with the Raptor I wish that they had used an F150 with the standard 3.5 Ecoboost. That would be a lot more relevant to me.

They ran the 2017 8 speed up against the 2016 6 speed and it got dusted. Since they are not even running an 1/8 mile the two 2017 trucks should run neck to neck if equipped with the same gears. Not a Ford guy so not sure it the Raptor has a different tune then the other f-150's

The Raptor is pushing 450 HP vs the standard EB at 375.

It looked like they did the same launch in that other story - power braked the 2017 and not the 2016 (actually, I thought that one was like a 2014?). They should launch them the same way - 4x4 engaged, power brake enough so that you don't lose traction, and then let er rip! I am sure the 2017 would still win, but at least that would be closer to apples - apples.
