Default 450hp and 510ft/lbs!!!

I'm sure it's old news to most, but I just read an article saying the 2017 Raptor is officially rated at 450/510. That truck will be an animal. I said I wouldn't own an ecoboost, but I may have to eat my words... This looks tempting for sure.

The real tell on how much of an animal it will be, is when we see the plotted HP and Torque curves.

My real question is how much extra will the tuners drag out of it. One of the main limiting factors of the first 3.5EB was fuel delivery and many are hoping that is resolved with the dual injection system. GM apparently has faith in the co-developed 10 speed since they're bolting it into an 850HP Camaro.

Anyone think we'll see an 850HP VelociRaptor from Hennessey?

I can't wait until someone lets me drive theirs! Considering I've never driven any Raptor this may not happen.

I'm pumped for the folks getting one though!

Ford doesn't typically play around with the SVT vehicles. Ever since the big "oops" with the 1999 cobra. I'll bet the new Raptor will not disappoint. They also will want to prove the new engine is a fitting replacement for the 6.2l.

Lol not trying to argue about nonsense, but the first reports were 640, but GM recently confirmed its 650.

Camaro is behind the times, lol. Ford did more with less in 2013. 662hp with a smaller 5.8L supercharged engine in the GT500 mustang. GOOD JOB FORD!!!
