Anyone read about these yet? Might be interesting and a good way to sway us Gen1 owners to a new Raptor,if we hit the Lottery...sure it will be up there in price with the Shelby @ $120K

@RPG has done a few Roushed 5.0 F150's with suspension that is much better than OE Raptor suspension. I know the Roush F150 is just a cheapo lift kit with Fox Shocks

Another truck they did

There was a new Roush Nightmare by me for around $70k. It’s just a Lariat or XLT with a supercharger & some flare & badging.

We dyno tuned a 2 door version of this truck about 2 weeks ago.
They make around what a 6.2 Raptor with a Whipple makes at the tire, but with a 10 speed tranny.

But different tire sizes by 2 1/2 in. in diameter.

It's funny, I love the look of the raptor, but not a fan of the regular 150. Put the flared fenders of the raptor on that thing, and I'm all in.

Honestly the modern F-150's other than raptors look kinda goofy to me in person.
Kinda seems disproportionate.

They look unfinished & the exaggerated features of the Raptor help finish the styling... they’re kinda like somebody that never grew into their ears or nose. [emoji23]

The Roush Supercharged F-150 fitted with fenders & Raptor suspension is nice, & the Roush grille looks pretty nice on that setup too.

35's or greater do Raptor's no favors on chassis dynos.

The Roush 2650 was making some steam, but the catback was an aftermarket POS that was choking the truck big time.
