New Velociraptor owner......

[Antho]

They turn headed for sure. Five Star here in Dallas has one and it’s been sitting around for a bit. We will see when I take my daughters Bronco Sport in for state inspection and some warranty work on the 9th if it’s still there! But I imagine that $399,000 price tag has something to due with it. I want to see Hennessey build one from a Raptor R. Just saying!

Funny. The pictures he posted are from one at fivestar. @Reaper27

what does it do better than a 600hp raptor would do, other than turn heads?

it cant be better in any condition off-road, except maybe a mud bog.

Hey, I hear fat chicks throw down as good as skinny. Never tried it, and suspect they don't get around as easy either. However, if you only have one thing in mind, and it works for you, whatever. I'll stick to lean and fast vs. quick to slow grind but won't hate on those who do.

Thats the one I bought. They ran it through Mecum and it no-saled. I was able to make a ridiculous deal trading one of my Ferraris that I rarely drive. My guess is they made the deal because its an extremely hard sell and they would rather take a haircut on it and move on. Its still there at the moment, as I am still making the shipping arrangements......

And Hennessey has an Antimatter Blue one in the R version that will be available in a few weeks. Its on their website. The $499k price was a non-starter for me.....

admittedly i did have a few drinks when i posted, but i don't understand this truck at all, and i never have..

it cant be better in any condition off-road, except maybe a mud bog.

maybe a pic of the connection between the two diffs? the mini driveshaft? not really sure how or why they did this..

the rear suspension arms and pick up points. There's a bunch of unanswered question many have asked...



ultimately it is your truck and money, many like myself just don't understand when you could have a well built 4 wheel prerunner for similar money..

its the age-old "why not?" question. Truthfully, I doubt it does ANYTHING better than a standard Raptor. But thats not the point. I just think its awesome, and had to have it. And its not like most Raptor owners are entering desert races or anything.

And fortunately someone else is eating most of the depreciation. So I can probably play with it for a year or 2, and likely get most or all of my money back. So its a couple years of fun for free....
