🥊 Rampage vs. Maverick -- expected price, size dimensions, powertrain, features comparison

[LSchicago]

Yes, Coyote based engines have made over 4,000HP, with reworked factory head castings!

whoa,was that on fuel or e85? It surprised to find out what big burnouts on top fuel were for,speaking of which,I watched the "Deere Power team" trying to be competitive at Monterey VA,the over fueled under boosted things simplydidnt allow for Montereys wouldn't run,they would hook to the sled and stall while a supercharged hemi ate everybody's lunch in its class,me thinks the "Deere Power" team didn't allow for ontereys elevation, their engines didn't seem to get warm enough to run,while the "Binders" and Fords looked like volcanoes at maximum boost and these suckers would fly,the Jds wouldn't hardly fire on either,anytime you are hotrodding you have to understand your limitations and for petes sake take notes(its almost a science now,the dragsters on Nitro have to do long burnouts to get those 500 cid engines warm enough to run,My chum said it was a "controlled explosion"hardly those things are maybe good for one run pushing the limits,I remember watching a camaro that would run nines with a power glide be driven to the meets,spooky thing was it would get 13 mpg on E85(it would "hookup" too a fascinating beast) btw 15 HP per cubic inch is shaky. after those things get hot the ignition system is superflous.
my brief foray into hotrodding has made a couple of pertinent ideas stand out,
1.the only substitute for cubic inches is rectangular dollars 2.its sweet sickness that has bankrupted many.

Snot Rocket does not run Nitro. It runs an Ethanol blend, which the exact mix is not known. No one runs Nitro driving cross country. This car is driven to events pulling a trailer!

I would say so,not sure but a litre makes a difference(I love inline engines) I think the "trickster" may have been na,not sure though(if I want big power make mine "Goriga!")

Of course it makes a difference if you're comparing power per liter. A boosted engine has an advantage.

not the car I am talking about-it ran on e85 in the highway,self powered drags were to be driven to the meets,from one to another,only thing I would run nitrometh in would be a "Cox",

Should be more off road capable - more clearance better angles at least from the videos I've seen. That would be about the only reason to buy one over a Maverick.

Looks neat but I still have a hard time trusting quality/long term reliability from a Stellanis product, I would love to be proven wrong tho.

BYD PHEV Mid-sized pickup -

A little pricier than I expected.

Sounds great but quick google search says you have to be a Mexican resident to buy a vehicle in Mexico, and have a tax id. If you can get skirt that rule, you will have to pay duty at the border (25% on trucks). Lastly, if the truck does not meet US DOT specs it cant stay permanently. It probably would be difficult to insure it too.

Yes, I posted an update a couple of days ago very similar to this:

Based on those dimensions it seems like the back seat will have to be tiny. Shorter truck overall and shorter wheel base but a longer bed. Has to mean interior dimensions will be much smaller

Not exactly that simple. There are a lot other dimensions that can be changed, and they are variables (not constants). Such as the "overhangs", the distance from the wheels to the bumper. And if you can shorten the front end, i.e. move the Dash Panel ("firewall" for the layperson) closer to the front bumper, that moves the pedals forward and the front row seats. Many other things. A skilled program team can trim a few mm's here and there and figure out a better overall vehicle package.

Here's a video that explains a good package. It's about the Lucid Air but you get the point. The entire video is good, but interior space is mentioned at the 6:00 mark.
