    Warren--Well I think my view is known and my participation on this subject has run to fruition. We agree on a lot more than I thought--thanks for the PM. Will discuss later.

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    Maybe take the new body style Mustang and make it a SVT vehicle and build that brand. Let the Shelby Car Company build the version they want to and deal with the issues associated with it. Would not take much time at all if SVT did this right. Build the brand up and let Shelby build maybe a...

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    Well the bottom line is this---I do this for a living modifying/retrofitting products infinitely more complex than a Raptor or Mustang and do ok. Have been part of more PDR’s (preliminary design reviews) and CDR’s (critical design reviews) that you can imagine over the last 28 years. This...

    WOW--want to save this diatribe for future reference.. Was not aware that we have Shelby to thank and continue to thank for SVT and our Raptors.:worship: ROI is what it is about and Shelby was about making money. That is a well known fact. Interesting that you quote a Ford source and advise that...

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    Got to love the Shelby Fan Boys! I am sure Carroll appreciates everything you are doing for him six feet under if his ex-wives have quit fighting over the body. No options----bet if you ask them for 5k they will add HID’s or GOD FORBID a Package for 25k! Will be expensive but worth it...

    300 Shelby Raptors---now put down the crack pipe and look that up. Another Shelby Fan Boy --- see what smoking "Shelby Crack" will do to you. Makes the numbers run together!!

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    Yes---know about it---2wd not a 4wd and at the time was disappointed... Like putting Duck Confit and Vegemite on the same plate. What is required in a 4wd powertrain wise and 2wd is night and day if you want it to run for more than a few thousand or few hundred miles. Lost a couple of front...

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    The long and short of it is that you are the biggest Shelby Fan here and they can do no wrong. To say that this project had the old man planning and then coming out the last year of production for this body style is not real bright on his part. You and I will just have to agree to disagree on...

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    No not in the least sorry if it came across like that--you have made my point for me--Shelby Fan Boys will be lining up like flies on poo poo for this truck. Shelby was an innovator---this vehicle is a cheap rip off of his name. To be true to the mission of this truck there can be no S/C period...

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    Yeah, I cant imagine why the folks on Team Shelby took offense to your post Boss. A Supercharger doesnt give any offroading value- you are right there. BUT- when people Supercharge their raptors here in the mod section, I dont see any of those criticisms directed at them. Shelby wanted a Cash...

    My Raptor is a big hit with the ladies...

    Ahhh----If those were indeed Cows or Heifers and they think you are the “Big He Bull” man are they in for a major disappointment!!:sorrysign: Another thing! You are pissing me off by putting my truck in danger of having crap thrown up on the side possibly marring the paint! Note the passenger...

    Adam's Product review

    Not bad for a Rookie LOL!!:Sumo: Cannot wait to get mine from Nick! Did not do the Raptor this weekend because I want to use the new stuff... Note the reflective shine in the paint. A very key telling factor.. Should be clear and DEEP!![COLOR="Red"]

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    I am a member on Team Shelby and caught some flack from several people and the Shelby folks as well. The Shelby is a over priced SC raptor with some bling. Nothing special they missed the chance but the idiots who buy anything with "Shelby's" name on it will flock to it like flies on poo poo.!!

    DO NOT GIVE UP! There are some out there just be careful and have your tape measure... There is one here that I can use near the house.......

    Shelby Raptor- 575 HP Debut today

    The man is dead and had nothing to do with this. This is not is good value at all and I know you are a big Shelby guy but this one is for the posers / street queen boys with too much money period end of story. Shelby as usual is going for the easy money----could have made the truck 500 hp...

    I have owned a 2012 Shelby GT500 and with respect to the above there is a sucker born every minute.

    The old man is dead already..... Why would I want way over priced stickers of his name on a off-road truck????

    Thinking about switching up from Grabber Red Letters

    I have posted on this issue before----nitrogen is not a "gimmick"... Look up my posts on the subject. Have discussed this at length with some of the best minds in the industry. Been using nitrogen as soon as it became available here for automobiles. Will agree however that 95% of the drivers on...

    Mine is on the way! The Raptor, Audi and the new Jeep I got last week (picking up at Mikes Off Road here tomorrow after 12k of mods) will be given the treatment this weekend if the product arrives tomorrow! Cannot wait to see what they will look like after!

    Thinking about switching up from Grabber Red Letters

    I have had 2 sets of the MTR's and they wore like iron--got 20k on the last set but took them off for 37's. Others have commented on the Faulkens and I too have read NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM. Might just give them a try and if they suck will just take them off because they are not...

    Thinking about switching up from Grabber Red Letters

    The BFG have a 3ply but then again have torn those -- also forgot to mention the Nitto TG's---2 sets of those and those sidewalls were bullet proof.... The General Red Letters are as tough as they come but if you mean the AT2 those are 2ply and are great on road. It is the sidewall that...
