New Velociraptor owner......

[LittleLebowski]

Just finished the deal for a Hennessey Velociraptor 6x6. I'm sure I will get a bunch of jazz from people due to the ridiculous cost of these beasts. But I was able to get a pretty drastic price reduction, and also traded a car that I rarely drive, so for my particular situation it was win-win.

Just wanted to introduce myself and see if there are any other Raptor owners in the Tampa area here who go to any local events. I also have a Gladiator Hellcat and there is a pretty active Jeep community here with lots of events.

Here's a few pics, it is a 2023 in Avalanche with blue interior....... View attachment 426004

Just saw this post, congrats again! Hope you are liking it... I actually saw your truck at Five Star with the Mecum stickers on it...they told me exactly what you said, that it was waiting for final details on the trade so everything he said Joe @ Five Star validated Anyway, bad ass truck...and it seems awesome as anything. Would love to know how it holds up; linkage, suspension, trans, rear end, etc...Would imagine it will take some time to age it and discover any issues, but got to see your truck in person which was solid!

That is a fu……..g nice raptor, I always buy a truck and use it for what it’s meant for sadly I wouldn’t have a use for that but if I had the money to just blow hell yeah I’d have one just to be different welcome nice job

Hopefully it won't burst into flames like some of the Hennesy Raptor have.
