New owner of a Ford Hennessey VelociRaptor 600

[Lead Foot]

You were Smiling when you typed "Supercharged" weren't you :~)

I Wonder how the MPG are gonna be ?
you will have to let us know....

I have read were several trucks built with Crazy Hourse power get 22-24 MPG, but most of those were Diesels...

I was wondering if you went with a Pro charger or super charger How it would effect the MPG..

I Know they are about all out power but some times it will surprise ya :~)

I wonder if its the same truck i have as my desk top background?

I have a Blue SC with Twin turbo on one corner of the tail gate .. passengers side ,and Hennesy on the drivers side looks like ?In White letters, Same Truck?

Its the model i want,and Color...Purdy truck....

Mine is Molten Orange and supercharged.

Fast forward to the 28:00 minute mark in this video and you will see the actual truck Scotty bought rippin' up the Top Gear test track....

Yes sir thats it.As for fuel milage I can tell you with my Saleen it puts out well over 800 rwhp I have seen 20 mpg.It has a Kenny Bell mammoth 2.8 liter sc on it but only if you keep your foot out of it(ye right) and its a car.My 2006 GMC Duramax has a Banks packege on it 625 hp 950 tq gets 24 mpg unloaded and 18mpg with my trailer 30 gooseneck but its a oil burner.But lets be honest here if you bought a Raptor for fuel milage you my have got the wrong truck.As for the supercharger on mine its a procharger you can look at all the specs on Hennesseys site.

But lets be honest here if you bought a Raptor for fuel milage you my have got the wrong truck.

Tell Me about it LOL

I have a GM 6.2 Now! it gets about the same as my 5.3 did...16 mpg average Mix driving... but i Can get 20 running 65mph on the Interstate, thats with 373 gears stock tires...

No i Was just wondering What the MPG With a Charger was like ...

I've never had one or anybody i Know. so i have No idea What Effect the Charger Has...

An increase in MPG would Help me feel better about buying a charger LOL

Facts are a 6.2 has more power than most people can use!

I need to read up on them i guess :~) I would like one if it Has Manners to operate as a DD....since mine would have more on road Miles than Off...

I really want to eat some cake, but apparently I don't actually have it.

If you can keep your foot out of it your mpg wont suffer.Superchargers for the most part are really well manered for dd.GM uses them on the ZR-1 and the CTSV caddy ford puts them on the GT -500 although thoes are roots type its still the same concept.

[Scottysspeedshop]

I thought the same thing.
