I miss the days when you guys raced 1/4 (or as close as it is) mile times on that small track where you used the front straight 😂. Lots of fun watching you all try to stop vehicles before the blacktop ran out
The crappy thing with manuals is when they go bad unlike a automatic the driver tends to feel a little more responsible, choices were made with said transmission.
Of course you did nothing wrong Tommy. It's an old vehicle and I appreciate you guys being willing to push it to it's limits. It'll be more interesting finding out what went wrong. Strange how the manual transmissions are failing. Could you guys clarify in the next Ford OBS video if the transmission that was put in it is the Ford transmission that would have been in it had it been ordered with a manual?
Would love to see the RaptorR run against a modern muscle car, such as my stock 22 Camaro 1LE. I just live up in Scottsbluff, NE if you guys want to make it happen. 😁
I see the despair on Tommy's face it's alright man this can literally happen to anyone keep the great content coming and we'll keep doing our part and tuning in
Congrats on taking this to the drag strip. Beats getting rock chips in your windshields every other race at the landing strip. Shame the Charger was not able to go up against your mustang. Using the new Raptor to decimate everything old is not a lot of fun. IMO. Because the outcome is already determined. Where is the drama in that Roman? lol Common man, it is like the race of the Challenger against that Toyota. No drama there. lol Perk up Tommy, this could have easily have been your father that it happened too. Remember, he did the flat on the LRD on that trail before you did. lol Just, just a matter of timing. A lot of your viewers cry for TFL to run manuals, but let's face it, unless they are competition clutches and beefed up for the task of dragging, this is going to happen to the old stock cars. (and I am being nice here not harping on the fact that I would expect nothing less from a GM product lol)
That's what happens when you slam an old hydraulic clutch, good habit to get into before you get in an older car so you don't have problems out on the road. Old sloppy seals in the will blow out if you move the pedal to fast but will last forever if you are gentle.
Hey Tommy things happen it doesn't matter how new our how old the car is things always break so don't feel so bad!!! But i would day use this time to upgrade the clutch and stuff like that! But o would say as far as other cars that will give the raptor r a fun for it's money! It's the firs Taurus sho! Id say get ahold of one and put it against the chargerpolice interceptor !
I'm waiting for someone to build a REAL Lighting (not that electric thing) by taking a Raptor R engine and dropping it in a 2wd regular cab shortbed truck.
It would probably be so unstable, it would lose every race, the reason the R in sport mode goes into 4a and the Trx is Awd, putting that much power down. If you could get a regular cab F150 with 4wd and the 5.0 or a ecoboost, and modify the engines, they outperform the old lighting easily.
@@garys2157 You do know there are quite a few old Lightnings making over 700whp, right? Ford already did the Ecoboost version. The first Tremor was a 2wd, regular cab Ecoboost.
One 'hazard' with used manuals is you can't be sure a previous actually knew how to USE a manual and caused issues. Tommy, don't feel bad. Stuff happens and you had no control over it. Shake it off buddy
There are some quick ones out there , even big trucks from the old days could give some modern day ones a fright i think , I remember as young bloke in the early 70`s ( vaguely ) going to the truck drags with my dad Across the pond ( at calder park Australia ) , a working truck an interstater cabover kenworth bobtail did a 14 second flat quarter , it had a TT 892 and allison auto , even some of the old macks with the small light weight cabin and the 237 6 cyl and 5 speed manual went like bullets bobtail . I miss the old days :) .
It is INSANE that a 6000+ lbs truck can BLOW AWAY a Corvette! The Ford F150 Raptor-R just DEMOLISHED both cars! Imagine how fast it's gonna be when that 700 HP motor is replaced with 1500 HP worth of Instant-Torque All-EV Battery Power in the near future! (i.e. in less than FIVE years!). V
This is classic chevy tight here yes it did a 1 and half seconds faster than a warn out 150k mile cop car charger but it broke and its more than 15k more also a. Lower mile rt that's only 2wd would be alot closer to the vette.
Do this drag race through that trail with Truth or Dare and I'll be impressed 😝 FYI Rommie Rome you did not have the jump in the R vs Charger race lol. In any capacity 🤣
Doesn't matter how much horsepower that truck makes it outweighs those other vehicles by twice as much you shouldn't even bother trying to compare the two😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry Tommy, but this is coming out of your paycheck! Never seen him so bummed! Remember equipment never breaks when its convenient, only when its needed!
Hey, instead of having to tell everyone, "but we are a mile above sea level" during EVERY video... Have you considered moving somewhere that isn't? Just saying.
Awesome reaction Roman!! It really IS the world of racing. A few trips down the track (sometimes one) will reveal any weaknesses in the drive train. This really sucks. The last Vette you fellas bought was so good. Manuals come with their own special problems. Without a worn clutch I suspect Tommy would have given the RaptorR a serious run for its $$$. 😂😂😂 Don’t worry Tommy! That has been failing, you didn’t F up at all, except you let that damn Ford win again!!! 😂😂 You all take care, Eh!
Everything breaks when you pound on them and you know the rules ... You break it you bought it!! 😂 jk ..fact.. 20 yr old cars need seals. Sometimes more than one.
The z06 of the same era would only trap 106 mph at sea level and I used to beat them with my freaking miata, no way that vette has a chance at 1 mile above sea level.
That's your typical Ford Dodge matchup, Ford beat the brake dust off Dodge chargers and challengers. Even the 2020 GT500 beat the 2023 black ghost challenger

Tommy, it's all good man. That car is just under 20 years old. It's not your fault. Props to dad for being cool and understanding about it.
I miss the days when you guys raced 1/4 (or as close as it is) mile times on that small track where you used the front straight 😂. Lots of fun watching you all try to stop vehicles before the blacktop ran out
New series coming soon! What does it take to make an Ex AWD Police Hemi Charger faster in the 1/⁴ mile than a Raptor R
Add a supercharger 🤣🤣🤣 what you've got to be careful of blowing the engine, what you might have to do is put in a new engine 150k miles is a lot
I so want them to get a sponsor to supercharge the cop car
@@goatk1 Whipple baby, only problem is 150k is a lot of ware Whipple might have to get them a new engine 😅😅
I think the 5.7L would need a complete rebuild first...
@@richfarfugnuven6308 Deadass, depends tho, might be cheaper to just get a new engine
Tommy just looks crushed. Things happen Tommy. Love all of your channels!
The crappy thing with manuals is when they go bad unlike a automatic the driver tends to feel a little more responsible, choices were made with said transmission.
Tommy needs a Model 3 performance instead.😊
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, Tommy don’t be upset you did great. Love that corvette!!!
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷!
The Raptor R is a Great Truck!
Poor Tommy was expecting a whoopin’
@psychology2217 Roman is a compassionate boss AND dad, it’s also 2023, he will just dock Tommy’s paycheck for the cost of repair. :-)
The Donut says: "Cars are a pain". But we love them. Cheer up Tommy.
1. Can't wait to see what Bandimere has planned for their new home.
2. Next episode, "In The Clutch."
Of course you did nothing wrong Tommy. It's an old vehicle and I appreciate you guys being willing to push it to it's limits. It'll be more interesting finding out what went wrong.

If that happens to your Corvette, you can get a turkey baster and suck the fluid out, repeat, pump the clutch, and repeat.
You should talk to Westen Champlin and get him to put a proper engine in that Charger
Would love to see the RaptorR run against a modern muscle car, such as my stock 22 Camaro 1LE. I just live up in Scottsbluff, NE if you guys want to make it happen. 😁

NOBODY thought any of those old cars would beat the Raptor R...
And the old dodge that's been beat on its whole life is still running strong!😮
Would loved to have seen the raptor vs hellcat!!!
That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't. She didn't go.
Andre dragoooo ... "If he dies he dies" no remorse when he's in that raptor looool😂
that raptor with sounds really nice and even on the up shifts
I feel like that Poor charger is a lot slower than it should be 😅
That truck is straight up disrespectful and I'm loving every minute of it 🦾🦾😎
Awesome fun video, worth the clutch 👍🏽
I already knew how this would end but it was still fun to watch, so thanks guys.
Hopefully the Corvette is easy & cheap to fix.
Raptor R for the win, yes
2:57 Police Pursuit seems like an appropriate name... it was definitely in "Pursuit".
Such a great video and such a classic setting. I will miss bandimere speed way! Go build apartments someplace else!
Why were the times blurred out on the runs

put a SuperCharger on the CopCar !!!
like a whipple or edelbrock
Race, Brack, Rebuild, Repete. :O)
Wow, a brand new 700+hp new truck beats a tired two generation old corvette with 400hp and a dying clutch. Who would have known.
Don't feel bad Tommy, it is an old car. Things like that are bound to happen!
Way to go angel tommy incredible job love ya so proud. Our fearless leader
😂😂😂
I mean, an old corvette vs modern raptor r, of course the modern tech is gonna win, who would have tought
all these hydraulics going out so weird...
Never thought I've ever going to see a truck with 37s not tunned do this
Yes, it defies logic.

The Raptor R 1/4 mile IA disappointing. My 2021 Roush F150 with the whipple stock tune we ran 11.9
Cars break when you race em, every single one of them will eventually
The manual was already going to go. It just happened to you when you pushed it. No worries
Raptor🎉❤💯

V
Automobiles break no matter the brand, it's there secondary function😂
How much did Ford pay TFL to make it look like the corvette lost to the ford raptor R we all now that was purposely done
Get some people who know how to drive! The guy driving the corvette had no idea what he was doing!
Sounds the same as the 2023 Raptor R
C6 is way faster than the Raptor. All about the shift.
If Roman would of fried the clutch tommy would of let him have it😅

Put someone who knows what they are doing at drag racing in that Corvette, please.
Why not put some slicks on the raptor and see what happens.
my 2002 Z28 will take all of your rides ...
I thought the cop car would have done a tad better , then again its got some miles on it , and the vets probably seen some hard days too .
Lol you know damn well these clowns at TFL except for David know how to solder.
Sorry about the Vett guys
Thank you.
Put them up against one of TC customs hopped up F150 xl 5 liters.
And the Raptor is a 4x4 WITHOUT A DROP SPINDLE KIT
I think the Hellcat missed a gear...
lol, the Raptor R easily smokes them both... LOL
And the vette broke 😂
I''d take that Vette any day over a ridiculously priced truck.
Doesn't matter how much horsepower that truck makes it outweighs those other vehicles by twice as much you shouldn't even bother trying to compare the two😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry Tommy, but this is coming out of your paycheck! Never seen him so bummed! Remember equipment never breaks when its convenient, only when its needed!
Chevy broke driving it nice. 😂
Of course the raptor best the cop car, it has 400 more horsepowern
Hey, instead of having to tell everyone, "but we are a mile above sea level" during EVERY video... Have you considered moving somewhere that isn't? Just saying.
No, Colorado is our home.
Are you saying moving somewhere else would be easier then having to mention elevation for every video ??
This is a joke right ??
Despite this, there are still people who will complain that they drive soo slow and some vehicle should be much faster.
@@2-1inffwa97 Who said anything about making things easy? Life is hard.

drag the dodge trx against the raptor
I would still never buy the Ford raptor r I had a Ford f150 with a 6.2 worst truck I have ever owned.
Yall know the nerd can't drive 😂
That charger was definitely looking like it's just a loud waste of money.
Edit. Oh and that Corvette is definitely a waste of money lol 😅
gm junk broke lol
The z06 of the same era would only trap 106 mph at sea level and I used to beat them with my freaking miata, no way that vette has a chance at 1 mile above sea level.
Just stop getting p.o.s. vehicles! Thank me later.
Lesson learned, Chevy builds crappy cars.
Just here for the gm tears
Everything I expect from gm all flash and talk no work
8:34 If a burnout breaks the vette it needs broke!
That's your typical Ford Dodge matchup, Ford beat the brake dust off Dodge chargers and challengers. Even the 2020 GT500 beat the 2023 black ghost challenger
Nice
What did you do? Get the car with a four cylinder. And a kid in a vette that looks to have never raced. 14.9 for a new vette? Horrible.
11:19 Ya should have done the burnout puss!
