Raptor Regret?

[MDJAK]

There’s a lot to be said for engine sound. The V8 in my Porsche is intoxicating upon cold start. My ecoboost Raptor sounds pretty good at startup also. V8, V6, doesn’t matter much any longer. Even 4 cylinder hybrid turbos can outrun many V8s and 6s.
And no, the tires are not loud on highway. But sound system sucks.

I don’t regret coming from a Prius to a Raptor.


V8 sound is great but the 3.5 has tons of power. All the RAM guys will rev their Hemi beside you.

Exhaust? All I hear is…..Am I Evil?! Yes I Am!! Mixed in with a little 2 Pac and George Strait.

I think it’s a misdemeanor in Texas to mention the first one and the same sentence as George, Stevie Ray or ZZTop. You’d definitely get a lot of sideways glances.

Metallica? For sure I thought the misdemeanor would be 2Pac! LoL Or is that a felony?? Ha!

Are there known issues with the Gen 3's to look out for?

Wannabes trying to race you at every green light?

Mostly just some of the owners, I think.

Earlier mention of getting a R, so you could have V-8 sound...
I was gonna say a Gen1 with the 6.2
I am always tempted thinking about getting a newer one, almost afraid to try.

I honestly am fine with the TT sound. With my bike racing background, I came to appreciate all kinds of engine sounds from my Honda 90 in the late '60's, then the 2 smokers, all the way up to the big 4 cycle singles we have now. One of my boats had a 502 with 4" straight pipes and it gave me a little wood every time I started it. That being said, I also loved the wailing outboard on the back of my modified tunnel hull. I love a good strong inline 4 sportbike, but a worked Harley sounds good too. I like it all. Just enjoy the sound of the right tool for the right job.

There's a word for this sort of attitude. Slüt.

It kills me when every once in a while, some goof going by in an old beater truck has to make sure he makes a little extra noise for me in his beat to death piece of crap truck with a V8.
