HAHA Yes but The raptor should come with a better engine IMO... DO you know how bad reputation that name "henesey has" I was about to send them my 11 gt500 to be converted to a 750r but I read reviews and they basically do what they want to your truck I mean you can buy a raptor and throw in a whipple but then you get into factory problems and your better of with it just rolling out the lot with the charger.

Yea I've read that those new gt500 are ganna be some nasty machines. Curious if the mustang will step up into a "super car" stats soon like the Corvettes have been doin the past few years

Thats what they predicted It to be a super car IF its faster than a corvette around a track I think I might step up but they need to change that rear axle!!...Ford is way more advanced in engines than gm they just need better handling.

I hope it does at least hang with the ZR1. The Corvettes are fiberglass and shaped like a bullet so the gt500 to keep up its ganna have to depend on straight horsepower IMO

YUP! with mine we've smoked vettes z06... but I had to lower it for that and change the tires plus supercharger upgrade and all that, If the new one comes out like mine is right now then I upgrade the supercharger lower it and swap tires it will hang witht he zr1
