The problem IMO is that to get the power levels most of the blown v8/raptor r/trx crowd want, you would need to run so much boost on the 3.5 that it wouldn’t last.
Yeah if I could get superior performance out of 6 cylinders, I’d buy that. The noise of a v8 is great and would be a sacrifice to...
If they use the Predator motor it will be the same or worse based on Hellcat to GT500 mpg comparison. But who really cares at this point? You either want a boosted V8 or you don’t
I have a fetish for english cars and have owned multiple RR’s since the 90’s. Total agreement they are a basketcase of electrical and assorted issues but interior quality is certainly not one of them.
I had a RR Classic who had one fan blade decide he was fracking tired of his neighbors and...
Yes. That jump where he hit it too fast and doubled the distance the Raptor went. Do you actually believe a Raptor would’ve made that jump as no big deal?
Speculation
Ram beat Ford in the quality surveys for the last few years. Or how about all the Raptor issues threads?
Last question. Have...
I’m putting the rainbows/unicorns on the hood. Duality of man and all that.
They shoulda put a v8 in the newest fgt. It’s heresy for a ford gt not to have a v8. I win again!
Funny. I was just ordering a plate frame.
The gt500, etc etc are all impressive. The HC platform is also really impressive. The stuff Ram got the TRX to accomplish despite its weight problem is really impressive.
Funny that you included the GTR in your list of impressive cars as it is also a...
It pulls hard up to the limiter. Someone has already had one to 150-ish (Governor removed) and said there was more in it. Hell. My fx4 does 120+ and my old GC diesel did 116. The Raptor/TRX should easily be 20-40mph faster on top speed
Also the tire speed ratings are done at max payload and for...
These repairs only show on carfax if it’s paid for by insurance and/or if the body shop voluntarily reports to carfax. In any accident, if you don’t want the record, pay out of pocket and confirm your body shop won’t report it
I’ve not heard of a vehicle having a negative carfax report from...
Agree there are weaknesses in the design but you have to admit the TRX does things it has no right to do given it’s weight. Both these trucks can over drive the suspension and anyone that’s really wanting to maximize off road ability will be upgrading anyway. Check me on this but isn’t the max...
That streetspeed vid wasn’t what I was talking about but at least he sent it.
But fair point, this is a TRX forum member and I wasn’t there measuring. Self reported. I’ll find the vid
I’ve seen the “jumps” the raptor bros do. It’s generally a soft sand bump that looks pretty. We have trx’s jumping 70’+ distance.
As always. Anyone cool that wants to go run on or offroad in Oregon, I’m here
