[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1116336, member: 21926"] There isn’t really an illegitimate reason to choose either of these trucks, because, among other things... you don’t need 400+ hp to go to Starbucks or the mall. Europeans get by just fine without pickup trucks ( and 8 dollar per gallon fuel costs ) you can off-road on an atv or dirt bike quite effectively There’s plenty of stuff I can do without a Raptor. A lot of that stuff will be more fun because of the Raptor. A high school buddy of mine had a step dad who drag raced. he had a fastback Mustang - ’69 I think, with a built from the ground up 351W, tubbed, roll cage, everything that didn’t need to be there was gone unless it made the car safe or faster and as I recall he was doing 11.50 at MIR. One night while we were all drinking beer, my buddy convinces Jimmy to show us around his Mustang. He pulled the cover off, powered it up and we were greeted instantly to the bark of a high compression, very big cam, solid lifter v8 with open headers. It sounded brilliant ... and to this day ranks as one of the best sounding engines I’ve ever heard. Right up until Jimmy warmed the car up and then nailed the throttle while we were admiring the engine with the hood up. Full throttle with open headers. It sounded great for about .5 seconds and then all we heard was ringing for the next 20 minutes. So I get why some people dig on the v8 sound. I’m also fine with the TTv6 in my Raptor. It doesn’t sound like a V8 and I’m fine with that. [/QUOTE]
