The F-150 Lightening was a Porsche killer.

---------------------------------------------

You're dreaming. The last year Ford built the Lightning, it had
impressive performance numbers in the quarter mile, but that's not what
a Porsche is all about. But, for the record:

2001 Ford F-150 Lightning 0-60 mph 5.1 Quarter mile 13.7
2001 Porsche 911 Turbo 0-60 mph 3.8 Quarter mile 12.1

Now, take them off the track and onto the streets and there's no contest
at all. The Porsche will surefoot around corners and bends in the road
that would cause the Lightning to climb up a tree.

I had a 2001 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo. Finest engineered car I've ever
driven, and I've had a few.





Most of today's Porsche sports cars will hit 175 to 195, and 0-60 in 4.5
to about 3.1 seconds, depending upon model. My guess is that Ford truck
will be a mite uncontrollable at over 100 mph and get progressively worse.
