The pedal ain't great, but AFAIC the bigger braking performance problem is the K03s. Been very gentle breaking the pads in, but... Massholes... had two hard stopping situations where it sure felt like the fronts locked up. Just 400 or so miles on my set so far; fingers crossed they eventually...

Which somewhat begs the opposite question. Do we know the penalty for running 87? Has anyone bothered to dyno the stock tune on regular... or 93 for that matter?

You might try McGovern in Framingham. Just bought my truck from the last weekend. After I took deliver, the saleman mentioned that I could flash the truck for more power. I let him know I was aware of that and figured I'd do it at the first oil change. He said that was a pretty common...

Had one of those myself a few years back. Helluva motor and quite the sleeper. Anyhoo, I'm also in the minority camp who bought into the RR for street duty. Only dirt roads it will see wouldn't pose much of a problem for your average AWD sedan. If Ford ever builds a Ranger Raptor Lobo...

Marsh Gray wasn't my first choice, but not my last either. I've grown to appreciate it a little more each day. At least its a little unusual which minimally makes it easier to spot in a crowded parking lot. I also prefer a non-metallic which in bright light makes it look as if the paint is...

Yeah, it was quite a nice surprise to see one on my first full day of ownership. Pretty rare sight around here, might see an F150 once every few months. Can't recall ever seeing a Bronco Raptor except on the lot. Same with the Ranger. That said, seems like RR production is up a little, as...

Funny that. On the way back from getting some fresh bagels early this morning, I came upon an F150 Raptor heading in the opposite direction. Instinctively, I waved, but immediately felt a little foolish. Nobody around here waves anymore unless its with a middle finger extended. Be damned if he...

TLDR: So if you've aged out of motorsports, but you already miss the race car you just sold along with the F150 that towed it, whaddya do to ease the pain? We'll, perhaps like me, you find yourself looking at all the usual sporty SUV suspects 'cause you need the utility, but have to have some...
