Guess you are not old enough to to know,
When the production specs are released they will be on ALL the media sites on the same day. They hold the info until they are ready to release based on their marketing strategy. A video game company is not their market and doesn't receive privileged info., they can get the vehicle dimensions as they are available to media and aftermarket companies.
The 450hp number was released to the media months ago and it stated "at least 450hp" I am involved in automotive media.
This is the most active and largest Raptor site. Except for a few individuals, the other sites seem to have a lot less automotive knowledgeable people. A lot of gullible people are in this world

I was thinking today that this forum was lacking interesting news worthy conversions lately.

That is until I skimmed these couple of posts.

Now that the interweb informed this very intelligent person, "If it's on the web it must be true".

Since these couple of silly posting regarding truth, I figured post some gossip to spark the fire.
The only rumor I have heard lately from some other media folks was some of the "new" 3.5 Eco motors were getting destroyed under abuse. I haven't witnessed and it's basically hearsay until I hear more.

Time for football and drinking !!!

I don't have a raptor so I haven't posted anything but I saw the video on another forum and wanted to post it after reading the thread. I had the same opinion as Raw Horsepower and though the video was interesting.

I do enjoy reading about the 2017+ raptors so I came here for the news. I am active on other forums though.
