New member from SATX - traded new M5

[Rico2]

Welcome and congrats on the new Raptor. Sad to see you had to let your M5 go.

I still have my E60 M5 V10 Beast! Although I don't drive it much because I am always picking up the Raptor keys and heading out the door.

I had a F80 which I leased hoping that I would catch the G80's but Covid hit so it was returned with no ///M replacement. I filled that void with an Raptor and yes it is much better than a Lariat/Platinum/Limited, and it will keep me at bay until i can get another M3. I track my M3's so that is what keeps me wanting another... love the truck but i am addicted to the track. I know you cannot compare a M5 to an M3 because they fit two different needs. Congrats on the new truck!

This! I have a new 2022 CT5-V Blackwing, C6 ZR1, etc., but for ease, comfort, daily driveability, etc. I grab the keys to the Raptor 90% of the time. It's just such a great truck/overall vehicle. It's much easier too when hauling around my two younger sons and wife as my wife can easily crawl in the back and sit between two car seats comfortably. That doesn't work in most vehicles.

Here's a few pics of my ride. Most important being the six-speed manual.

Just showed it to her, she drooled and said I needed to make more money

Talked to Ford performance today and they say last scan is still from Thursday in Salem... I wonder if yours got transferred to Houston and mine is going to Dallas which is the hold up... Or my dealer has it and trying to sell it to someone else

My wife and I had a '16 Camaro SS too with the 8-speed auto. It was a freaking great ride. It had 2SS, mag ride, and the multi-mode exhaust. It could be comfy and smooth in tour mode or fast, loud, and fun in the more sporty modes. Plus, that LT1 engine sounded fantastic. Anyway, tell your wife to keep that SS. It's a special machine.

The reason we still don't have ours is I made an unfortunate mistake in the rain and it spun out, hydroplaned, and tweaked the frame. No injuries or significant damage, but it was enough of a frame tweak to total it out.
