True info as soon as OP drives it off the lot its worth $60k.

Whats the mentality of if you don't like the info shut it down? Hide it? I said its OPs money. I said IMO. I did not make it personal. Its about the truck and a Greedy Dealer. Buy something actually worth $100k if you have that kind of money to burn. That truck doesnt even have a Blower (Super Charger). ALL SHOW NO GO!

Bleck...personally I think the Shelby looks awful. To each their own I suppose, but you won't get any drooling from me when one drives by.

Lol that’s funny.
Yeah you should shut it down... this Raptor group is not the same crowd I know back when I bought my 13.

What are you talking about. The crowd on FRF back in 2013 was completely different than today. People didn’t give a shit about people’s feelings and told it like it was. This is tame in comparison.

I missed the good ole days on FRF

The new Shelby raptor is a disgrace to the Shelby name. I would of hoped that Carol would of disapproved of that mess if he was alive and Gary needs to pull his head out of his ass if he thinks that carries the Shelby tradition forward. Granted people are buying them but then again there are plenty of new truck owners buying GEN2’s and ruining those too.

Since when did anyone pay sticker price anyway? There's probably plenty of wiggle room in that deal for sure.

I've noticed some dealers adding "conversion packages" and turning Raptors into "Baja Raptors" to their new 2019 models. Of course, adding lots of $$ to the price. Of course, taking the price over MSRP. I guess they're trying to be creative (and stay competitive) since there are so many 2019s still on the dealer lots.

Curious to why it doesn't include the Whipple 525 hp package; the Shelby's I have seen are all rocking the Whipple IC, CAI, and tune; a nice way to get a warranty on a tuned truck.
Not sure with the Gen2's...and no expert,but if they are twin turbo's you cant use a Whipple SC too.....Mine is a Gen1 and was bought as a stock Raptor and then it was sent to Shelby in Vegas to have the Whipple S.C. installed and the Shelby package...you pick and choose which "package" you want and which "extras" you want...When mine was done they ranged from $20K to $45K PLUS the price of the Raptor...which is how they are getting to $100K+ Raptors...

EXACTLY..! Learned this last week at a little local gathering of Raptor owners in our area....there were also 4-5 "Shelby" & Roush" Raptors there that a local Dealer had on display...They were all well over MSRP because the dealer turned them into Shelby Baja Raptors...they do it right in house....get the "Shelby" parts and install....its mostly show ,with lights and bumpers,badges...but they have NOT been sent to Shelby in Vegas for any Engine Mods,as my Gen 1 Shelby was...One of the salesman there told me,people come in and see a $95K&up price on them and then ask where is the SC,and they tell them,Oh..you have to send it to Shelby and add another $10-$20K if you want that....
So,yeah..dealers load them up with cosmetics....for the big bucks...

Whipple has a Gen 2 package that adds about 75 HP using their CAI and tune. It has nothing to do with adding a SC, as you mentioned.
