Raptor Road Trip Pics

6isntenough & I left early AM this past Friday for the Silver Lake, MI meet this past weekend and on the way into Michigan we stopped in to visit a few fellow Raptor fanatics...


.... At Ford Racing & SVT headquarters!

The Ford Racing staff and the SVT Raptor program manager & engineering staff took time out of their busy day to shoot the shit with a couple Raptor owners and give us an acute insight to the Raptor program as well as allow us to crawl all over and inside some of their toys. It was one hell of a morning!

Here are a few of the pics taken with their permission.

The quarter of a million dollar, built completely from scratch Ford Racing Raptor:

Got Focus RS8?


The back lot at Ford Racing


According to the Ford Racing staff this is the absolute coolest car in the lots and gets all the ladies... dunno about that one.

On to SVT headquarters where they rolled out the red carpet and some engineering trucks for us to check out:




the '13 Option wheels with removable ring.

And to finish off the morning we stopped at the Henry Ford to take the Rouge factory tour.



The Raptor, minus it's iconic good looks

ah ha! since you have no comment, how about sleep typing?........ you know, like sleep walking, but different......

Great Pics...that is so cool...I have noticed that the Terrain looks different in every pic I have seen..

That race truck is sick...from a distance you would think how moded up that beast is...

Really nice...

We need something like the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green...that would be so cool to take delivery in style and learn about the truck

I doubt there will ever be a delivery program like that, however, Kanakry & I are working with them for a fully supported 2013 event in Michigan to give us midwest owners something similar to the owners out west and in the south in terms of runs and offroading. What that will consist of... well "no comment" for now.
