raptor on top gear

[tigercrazy718]

im surprised that nobody has started a thread on this. the segment was freaking awesome even tho they used the hennessey one. and is it right what he said about 7 grand for a freaking tune intake exhaust? if so theyre even bigger damn crooks than i thought they were!

and rutledge said he wants to trade in his tundra right now!!! lol
and yea this was definitely the best segment so far this season. cant believe the stig was able to throw it around the track without flipping it haha

That's because the swaybar was still on...

Amen!

I liked the segment, but I wish they would have been honest about the $7000 for 60 something horsepower issue. I realize there were probably some serious politics involved, but it still sucked and made me take note... what other stuff are they glossing over with other cars...

On a more positive note I was glad to see the "tune" didn't seem to have any adverse affects on the Raptor's off road tuning.

thats why i asked whether that price was correct for hennessey bc they dont list any price online. it wouldnt surprise me tho and they didnt really harp on the price for hp aspect so idk if there were politics

 

[BigJ]

They called it a bargain. I think they meant the truck but they said at $49k (price after the $7k rapeage) it was a bargain deal.

They showed the new intake on the velociraptor on the show...

Its gotta be putting down at LEAST 20hp.
