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.

You are biased.

Nah. I owned a Porsche myself, and he's right. They have it right. There is no perfect car, but Porsches are well sorted, extremely well engineered cars.

The Lightning is a fun truck, but is absolutely no substitute for a Porsche.

And a Porsche is no substitute for the Ford either.
