I think he said 468 or 486....

Doesn't matter...

It's STUPID effin' quick for something THAT big.

Traction control kept kicking on.... & I was trying damn hard to get it to hook up & go.

Rolled onto the throttle at560 & they still broke loose !!!

I know they sound like sex though.

DaveSTi · 09-28-2011, 01:32 PM

That's a truck.

blkZ06 · 09-28-2011, 01:34 PM

6.2 liter
411hp

buddy's got one, yea it's the ****

fitftw · 09-28-2011, 01:58 PM

better than an SRT-10 Ram? "The SRT-10 featured an 8.3 Liter Viper V10.[1] This engine produced 510 bhp (380 kW; 517 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 525 lb·ft (712 N·m) of torque at 4,200 rpm. The regular cab, with a total curb weight of 5,130 lb (2,330 kg), reached a top speed of 153 mph (246 km/h), and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.9 seconds. The regular cab could complete the 1⁄4 mi (400 m) in 12.6 seconds at 110 mph"

Raptor: "The 6.2L (379 CID) engine has 411 horsepower (306 kW) and 434 ft·lbf (588 N·m) of torque." 11mpg city lol ridiculous.

Wasn't there something about the frames bending on those a couple of months back?

elff · 09-28-2011, 02:11 PM

Yup and they are also having issues with the beds not being aligned correctly

Jah1mon · 09-28-2011, 02:25 PM

Here we go.

A great factory off-roader? Haillll yeahhh.
A baja truck that can handle bajillion foot gaps, landing from a bajillion feet in the sky? Not at all.

httrdd · 09-28-2011, 04:05 PM

Interior is sick in those! The owner of Van Scoy Diamonds had one at a small car show one day and he told me one day after he bought it he jumped it. He said it handles amazingly well off road.

Erik@R/TTuning · 09-28-2011, 04:07 PM

I follow a white one home a few days a week. Too bad he is always pussy footing it around so I never get to hear it.

Off Roading is much more than just driving on a road without pavement.

I don't know why I am getting a

I don't offroad and could frankly give a crap about any truck made after 1979. I just remember seeing a story somewhere about the frames bending. If you're going to charge that much for a truck though and throw in that much hp I would think the frame shouldn't bend short of doing 90 off a three story building. For all I know that's what was happening. So instead of the

why don't you explain a bit.
