Or that was saleen... Or the other sticker tuners. Don't get me wrong they all do good work when they go out but their half ass sticker jobs are a disgrace to their name.

Just noticed the fine print too. "Shelby retains all take off parts." Uh huh....If I was to do this, I would take off all the parts they are replacing and deliver a stripped down truck to them with donut wheels/tires on it.

As I posted on Facebook...

"Don't get me wrong.. It is great seeing companies like Roush and Shelby embracing the Raptor. In my opinion the Shelby kit is nothing more the 17k sticker kit and whipple supercharger.
I guess I am in the minority to think that they missed the boat. This is a Raptor not a lightning.. Instead of adding more useless hp/torque and stickers, how about upgrading suspension, braking, and things that matter OFFROAD! This is an offroad truck, meant to be driven hard offroad, improve suspension to actually use the Raptors stock horsepower. The Raptor stock engine is more than capable to overpower stock suspension. That is how you make a performance Raptor.."
