Modded 2010 Raptor vs. Stock 2017 Raptor

[RLTW]

Faster on the street means faster in the dirt, sorry your defense is meaningless.

Someone needs to go find a safe place.

Ridiculous statement.

The first thing you should do is go visit svc, rogue racing or rpg, youll realize that these trucks arent the endpoint they are merely the platform, one visit to any of these shops and two things will happen, your tail will be between your legs as mine always is when i visit and you will immediately begin making a mental list of all the mods you want and how to pay for it. I am at the bottom of the socio economic ladder when it comes to the raptor community, so when i shell out 2k to 4k it feels like big money, in reality, i am lucky these shops treat me so well, especially when you see all the 100k builds they have in progress. maxing out your credit cards, refinancing your home, cashing out your retirement (hell i can work till im 80) are all on the table to finance your mods. @WyoStorm has a valid point about durabliity, i like the idea of being to limp home with some duct tape, bailing wire and basic tools, i go out alone (i know, i know, but honestly i just dont like people). I suspect the turbos may not strand you but im guessing youll have to rebuild them on a regular basis and i would rather put that cash into suspension mods. the fact of the matter is if youre off road and need help i will be the first to offer it, if i need help i hope you would be the first to offer, and then we can sit on top of a hill and crack open a beer, and talk about all the things that stoke you about your truck and everything that stokes me about mine and what mods we are planning. and if you look at all my previous posts about gen 2s i have acknowledged its a bad ass truck, but im sorry the sound is a thing for me, i must not be alone because, and i know im beating a dead horse but the ford engineers must have thought it was an issue otherwise they would not have wired in exhaust tone enhancement through the speakers, and i think we can all agree thats pretty lame

Ugh the sound argument again. Enhanced engine sound is in almost every new car produced. My GT350 has it. If any car on earth needs enhanced engine sound, it's not the GT350. I plan on disabling it once my freaking truck finally gets delivered.

The video shows the capability and potential of the new truck. That's it.

Ken Block was out beating on his today, landed hard and still went home...not in limp mode.

Time will tell, but so far a lot of positives.

The same guys that say the Gen 2s are street queens and that straight line power means nothing will say how badass a supercharged gen 1 is in the same breath.

Sorry thug hunter but the raptor is not going to "beat the shit out of sports cars" of today that's just flat out ignorant.

It better be faster then the previous gen, more hp,tq and lighter weight guarantee it's faster. I don't believe anyone disputed that?

Now those girly limp side vents on the gen2 is another story[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Fanboi comments aside, I see plenty of potential with the gen2 giddy up off road.

Your single sentence diatribe made the G2 point for us. (Periods and paragraphs are your friends.)

If the production starting point is better than a modified G1 it can only get better.

+ You don't have the added expense of adding a blower or turbos. They are there and the truck is designed from the MFG to work with them.

+ they come with a warranty.

Keep your sound, I'll record a V8 and burn a CD and blast it while driving.

Are you even an auto enthusiast? Your theory has no base in reality. Plenty of production vehicles have been made with gobs more potential and others are left with very little in the tank for upgrades. Because a vehicles starting point is faster or more reliable or more nimble than another does not mean that it's potential when built will still outshine it's competition.

really wasnt meant to be a diatribe, im sorry you took it that way, seriously, go visit some reputable aftermarket shops that are members here youll understand what i was trying to communicate.

I think you are a bit confused. Most people think the Gen2's are marketed to the street queen crowd, that doesn't mean they think the truck itself is only capable of being a street queen.

Usually the supercharger comments are brought as a way of showing the gen1 guys aren't scared or jealous of faster trucks. 'Fast' Raptors are nothing new....

You don't really have a clue about off road trucks, do ya?
