New Raptor question
I own 2 fast Ford cars, I have a contact at a Ford dealership were I can get the new Raptor.
My question is you you get the first Raptor out with the 320HP or wait till the bigger engine comes out mid 2010. 400HP.
I dont want to say to myself mannnnnnn I want more power.
Also...I dont go off road but with this I might and I like real fast.
It would be for blowing away fast cars and blasting in town BS speed bumps!!
Thanks in advance BillyRay

If you wanna go fast you've got two options....buy the 5.4 and add a roushcharger later.....or wait and get the 6.2.....but by then others will have raptors so you'll be missing the cool factor for the first year

I like the supercharger thing, and the truck may be lighter.

yeah, but a 5.4 3v with a Roushcharger & 10 psi of boost...+ that wicked 6 speed the 09's have
but yeah, cost wise you'd be better off waiting 1 year. and the 6.2 would a ton of fun as well
that is almost inspiration to pitch a tent...my 06 with 6 psi of boost was just pure fun
you could easily have 400-450 RWHP...it may not be a 6.2...but a great equalizer

The most recent information has the 6.2L being a $3,000 option for the Raptor, but that is always subject to change...

Sure there is....its called boost....
LOL....i'd rather have a supercharged 5.4 any day over a stock 400 hp 6.2 (If thats what they really come out at....but i'm not buying 400..i say 425-450)

I have...and did it. kinda sucked while it was drifting sideways, but she straightened out after a few feet
5.4 with boost is amazing
