2017 Ford Raptor vs 2014 Shelby Raptor

[RLTW]

Our Shelby is heavy. 500+ lbs of bed cage, toolbox, tools, 2 spares, floor jack, etc. Also has a 4" Currie in the rear, etc. Strong, but heavy. Id say the 17 SCAB we were comparing it to is probably 1000 lbs lighter (500 from aluminum body, 500 from the tools, etc in the shelby). With that being said, you will just have to see for yourselves & have your own opinions on the speed/power of the Gen 2.

I thought they were saying now the gen 2 was only 300ish lbs lighter.

Hmmm we've always heard "up to 500 lbs lighter". Maybe 500 lbs lighter screw & 300 lbs lighter scab?

We never comment on having access to pre-production vehicles.

How about this, how many donkeys do you think live in Tijuana? More than 450 donkeys? I'm guessing close to 500 donkeys.

I always heard 5 as well, the last few weeks the number three has been tossed around, who knows what's what.

In all fairness I knew you were interpreting it wrong immediately, but it was worded oddly.

Thanks, you didn't revert to personal insults like the poster above. First forum I have ever been a part of that would allow that stuff not in a "playground" area.

Oh, and I too wish for a v8TT but it ain't coming. I'm more than used to big motors (8.3L gas, 6.2L) but I've also had/have my share of small boosted power plants (2.0T eclipse, 2.3T mazdaspeed). They both are fun and I'm sure Ford is going to bring it with this 3.5. Manufacturers don't purposely make their flagship vehicles slower and worse from year to year, they are constantly improving.

You'll get use to this place, it's dog eat dog and that's part of the fun. One of the few forums where you can go straight for the jugular without fear of the banhammer. I've had the small motors as well, mr2 turbo, 1.8 integra, 1.6 crx, 1.8 swap crx with no2, supercharged s2000, etc. I do believe we will see a v8 in the raptor again, ford is not stupid.

You sir can go to hell. Feel free to read how the original post was worded and then reflect upon your common sense in this comment.

God there are a ton of asshats in this place, possibly the worst I have ever seen

Don't be so butt hurt.

Well if they live in Tijuana, they would be burros. So there are zero donkeys in TJ lol.

So you're saying that the screw weighs less than the scab? Gen 1 screw only outweighed the scab by 100 lbs
