To start, this post is to hopefully gut check some of you gen2 owners.
Once upon a time:
Since my raptor is down for some heavy upgrades we have been taking my wife’s Range Rover everywhere and I of coarse notice all the raptors out on the road and am anxious to get mine back out there. Seemingly 20:1 ratio of gen2:gen1 these days.
Now I admit the gen2 raptor is one bad mf machine, no doubt about it. But some of you gen2 owners think it makes it somehow right to drive like a holes.
Headed down the highway today a mostly stock gen2 decided to be “cool” and speed past me with his “loud” (not that loud but he thought it was) exhaust, cut me off and then break check me as if to say I’m better than you, get out of the fast lane(Edit: was only in the fast lane to pass as well, just wasn’t fast enough for hot rod). I was doing 85 already.
so first off the Range Rover is in a completely different class of vehicle so I’m not sure what he was trying to prove, has a v8 supercharged 5.0L motor 510hp with multi terrain adaptive suspension and does 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, all better, faster, higher tech and costs more than a gen2, so again not sure what your trying to prove.
I couldn’t help but wish I had my gen1 at the time to eat his ego for breakfast. All I’m saying is don’t be an ass and ruin the name of the raptor for all of us.
have a great day
. I tend to do that on the Long Island Expressway.
