The Boot is not a direct competitor with even the race Bronco, in my opinion. The Bronco is unfortunately not engineered for performance first. The Boot is. This is a fact.

Both teams made a great effort but the Boot is just a beast, and a marvel of automotive engineering. Truly underappreciated, and a value for the price. Underline my last four words. Value. The race Bronco is likely the same end cost or more, for less performance.

Congratulations,
Team Glickenhaus and Team Bronco

Wait, you’re saying the Bronco R is not engineered for performance first?
I’m pretty sure it was ONLY built for performance. It’s only objective is to race at Baja. It’s a ground up custom built race truck. It shares nothing with the production Bronco.

EDIT: My mistake. It does share the factory engine and transmission but neither is in stock form as far as performance what so ever.

From Ford’s website:

“Powered by a fully stock Ford 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine and Ford 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, the Bronco R Race Prototype serves as a testbed for Bronco Built Wild Extreme Testing durability regimen and for the final the Baja Mode calibrations for the Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes on the production versions.”

So not exactly a fully custom ground up race truck. Couldn’t find anything on chassis and suspension though, obviously those components were not stock bits.

I thought I saw somewhere that the boot actually drove to the race, raced, and then drove home, that’s pretty f’ing amazing, how many race trucks can drive themselves to the race, no trailer needed.

This might be the most idiotic thread I’ve ever seen. Did you know a Ferrari beats my 47K Challenger down a track?

That’s ok, I know of a Ford Mustang that can beat any challenger in straight line performance.

They use a factory engine and transmission. But its not is stock form whatsoever. It’s purpose built for racing and only made for racing the Baja.
