I'm gonna have to run mine against my girlfriend's and see how it does.

Put a rear sway bar on hers as she complained about it getting a bit squiggly when pushing the skinny pedal.
That's something I really haven't noticed on mine. Have the bar ready to go on, but want more of a baseline first.
Replacement bar, larger? Or you're saying they dont come w one at all OEM?

LOL, the Shelby is ridiculously slow what an embarrassment 😂. I have searched high and dry any zero to 60 times for the “lifted 4x4 Shelby“ and nothing I mean nothing. But yet mine is posted everywhere being a 3.45 second 0-60.I truly believe the lifted one is so pitiful they are embarrassed to post it. And I said from the get go the lifted Shelby to the TRX would tell the real story 😁

As noted, I was always into the race part of a high powered truck, not into the lifted roller skate stuff. Sacrifice too much for a look which is dubious at best.

Do you know for a fact that they will reach 60 mph?

No, there's nothing from the factory. Guess they go for max articulation over road manners.

Seems like the very softly sprung TRX squats on the right rear when stomping on it, then the torque steer from the front makes it wiggle a bit.
In my case, I'm mostly trying to induce a bit of over steer...or at least minimize the under steer. The 7/8" bar I'm using has three settings, so it can be tuned a bit.

If I was the owner of that Shelby in the video she would be kicked to the curb and gone😁
