Ezra Dyer is a Car and Driver senior editor and columnist. He's now based in North Carolina but still remembers how to turn right. He owns a 2009 GEM e4 and once drove 206 mph. Those facts are mutually exclusive.
From the November 2023 issue of Car and Driver.Say, are you handy with a wrench? Do you think the Ford F-150 Raptor would be a great truck if only it had a better suspension? Got about $25,000 of extra cash and a late-model Ford F-150? Well then, Factory Five Racing has the perfect project for you. The XTF, its newest kit, transforms a stock F-150 into something you could drive down to Ensenada and enter in the next Baja 1000.
So it's not surprising that the XTF was a little bit in arrears of the stock truck at the drag strip—even with a mild tune that added about 60 horsepower—recording a 5.9-second 60-mph time, 0.2 second behind the grocery getter. The Factory Five's stadium-size frontal area comes into play at higher speeds, with the quarter-mile requiring 14.8 seconds at 88 mph versus the stock truck's 14.3 seconds at 97 mph.
