speaking as one who owned a few models of each you could not be further from the truth don't get me wrong, installing the 5100s and the rear sway dramatically improved the handling of the f150, but to the degree of a porsche? not even close, even when comparing it to an 83 911 i own i won't even begin to compare it to what the 718 can do...

Maybe a Cayenne Diesel, those overpriced VW Touaregs don't exactly handle like a 911
