Who would think to race a pickup truck against a sports car? As you’re probably aware, it’s not the truck racing the high-performance car that’s unique here. In fact, performance trucks racing fast cars is something you might see at any drag strip on a given day. Instead, it’s the fact that it’s the all-new Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck, and there’s not a whole lot of racing footage featuring the truck to date.<\/p>\n

The fact that the full-size “family and everything” hauler is proving its unreal acceleration against a Chevrolet Corvette C8 makes it all the more interesting. Do you think the F-150 Lightning has any chance of winning?<\/p>\n

As more people take delivery of their Lightning electric trucks<\/a>, we’re almost sure to see more footage of the pickup’s acceleration. We also expect to see the electric F-150 battling it out at the drag strip against a number of vehicles that certainly aren’t considered rivals.<\/p>\n

Going forward, we can only imagine that there will eventually be a host of electric pickup truck<\/a> drag races with the Lightning competing against the likes of the Rivian R1T<\/a> and GMC Hummer EV<\/a>, as well as upcoming classmates like the Tesla Cybertruck<\/a> and Chevrolet Silverado EV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That said, what’s arguably more important than a race against a Corvette or any of the above rivals, is seeing the F-150 Lightning compete against current gas-powered pickups. This is especially true of high-performance machines, such as the Ford Raptor and Ram TRX.<\/p>\n

At any rate, the ~6,000-pound F-150 Lightning Lariat features a highly capable dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. In order to get the most power, you’ll have to choose a configuration with the larger of Ford’s two battery pack options. However, the Lightning Lariat in the video above has the smaller battery pack. Still, it cranks out 452 horsepower and a whopping 775 pound-feet of torque.<\/p>\n

The Lariat with the Standard Range Battery starts at $67,474. Opting for the Extended Range Battery adds $10,000. The larger battery pack pushes the truck’s horsepower up to 563, though the torque remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

The Corvette C8 is mostly stock, aside from an exhaust mod. The uniquely styled ~3,600-pound Stingray with its 6.2-liter V8 engine makes\u00a0495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that you have all the information at your disposal, do you think the F-150 Lightning stands a chance? We’ll leave you to check out the video to see the results. Once you’ve watched, leave us a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
