New Velociraptor owner......

Dam that is some road presence. Any plans for it? I know Hennessey gets a lot of shit around here but of ALL the trucks that you could buy the 6x6 is at least the most interesting from a design perspective and also is the most unique. At least it isn’t a “throw in some rebranded wheels and bumpers and charge a fortune” version

Congratulations. I am sure you have thick skin, but don't let the knuckle draggers get under it. Your money, your needs, your wants, your deal, YOUR business, so good for you.

I look forward to some photos and information on this thing. I will never see one in person, so it will bee cool to see what this thing is all about.

Not really. I saw the first one about 5 years ago and just thought it was ridiculously awesome, but never figured I would actually buy one. But this just kinda fell in my lap. It no-saled at Mecum and they just wanted it gone. So I was able to make an awesome deal where I can probably drive it for 2 or 3 years and still get most if not all of my money back if I decide to sell it. And I'm fortunate enough that the money doesn't really matter at this point anyways.

And the bright side is, I get to annoy an endless number of haters along the way......lol

Thanks, I appreciate that. I have alot of weird or pointless stuff in my collection so I am VERY used to that certain group of people who have to dismiss whatever they dont like or cant afford. I'm a little disappointed that I haven't seen any "small weiner compensation" comments yet, but I suppose its still early. LOL

As for never seeing one in real life, there is one up your way somewhere. I was in New Haven CT a few months ago to help my friend inspect a Senna that he bought, and the handler was telling us about some different collections he has worked with up there and one of them supposedly has a black one. So you never know........

If you find yourself in a situation where you have more money than you know what to do with…. Just hit me up buddy.

So… what power upgrades does it have?

My sister and mother live up in New Haven so I’ll tell them to keep an eye out

Now that's something you don't see everyday! Are all 6 wheels driven? I wonder what the payload and tow capabilities are. Need you to get a gooseneck hitch and an RV to test it for us. Welcome!

The 2 rear axles are live full time, and the front can be engaged just like a normal 4 x 4. I'm not sure the exact payload and towing, because Hennessey's specs are probably optimistic lol. Its roughly 600 horse, so it should pull a little better than a standard Raptor but probably not a dramatic difference.........

Upgraded intercooler, plumbing, other upgrades and tuning get it to right around 600 horse.........

I am a huge mustang fan, for over 35 years and live in a very rural area. Do you know when I saw my first wide body mustang? Two years ago when I had (MY) GT500 turned into a Signature Edition Wide Body car at Shelby American. Still have never seen another one in person (outside of Shelby's facility in Vegas).

But...as you said....you never know.

Don't forget to share some photos as you go!

Is it what the Raptor was designed for, no. However, do YOU like it and is it got the cool factor, YES! Wish I had one. Bet more of the A$$HOLES in the left lane here would clear if I were in one every afternoon!

ENJOY and welcome! Wicked looking.
