what miles were on both of them? If the ford had about 3000 miles on it then there's a massive difference how it feels from new to then.

 

Both the dodge and the ford had between 27 miles and 30 miles.

 

Yeah after both have run in and if you choose the same axle ratio then you should be looking at almost exactly the same performance. But then again neither are what you would call quick but it what it comes down to is the looks and ride more than anything else but i bet you thought the ford ride was fine.
