I think everyone wants to believe you so bad that they can't come to terms with it. I mean, 500hp......HOLY S$%# !!!!! From a purely performance standpoint, that will be INSANE. That ought to shut up Edmunds. On second thought, I'm sure they will find something else to bitch about.

i still cant hardly believe it myself. i wish i had a way to scan it. it has a new red mustang convert on the front of the promo mag. it also says that raptor has 13 inches of suspension travel. the base v8 in the raptor will be a 320 hp 5.4 if im going to buy one of those it would have to have the 6.2. they said in the artical they ran a pure stock raptor at baja with only safety equipment added and finished in 25 hours. thats haulin for factory stock truck.

Got to admit that if Ford does bring out a 6.2 with 500hp it will shut all these muppets up about ford being behind on power. It can be done as we know and hopefully it dont need forced induction to get this power. The raptor will be badass if that engine really can put out that power. Thats got to be a good 5 sec to 60 and 13 sec qtr mile.

13 sec quarter mile easy, a supercrew roush truck with 430hp give or take and 3.73 gears runs about a 14. I would say 12 or 11, i mean it has 500 hp, 4.10, 2 more gears, and lockable rear differental

Of course it will. I cant see a 500hp 6.2 getting any better than 15mpg Highway. 17 mpg would be nice but im sure it wont happen. If Edmunds can only get 12.6 out of a 5.4 unloaded then the 6.2 will be lucky to get 9-10mpg.
