[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1391745, member: 31322"] I should comment since I came from 3 GM trucks (last was a ‘15 6.2 GMC all terrain lifted like yours) - the GM trucks w/ the 8 speed trans K2 versions are.....suspect, build quality is spotty & the tranny is known to be trash, that being said I think they’re honestly the best LOOKING generation of trucks in the last 20 years. GM makes vastly superior V8 engines....but I only missed the V8 growl for about 5 mins after my raptor purchase- I literally just came from 48 hr road trip (Boston to philly & back next day) 850 miles total due to some sidetracking- the truck is soooo much more comfortable, composed, better handling, & “tighter” in every way than my last GM trucks. All that being said....I also have a vette, a modded C5 Z06 I own outright only has about 40k miles on it....& I don’t want you to be misled, while I’ve had multitude of vehicles (25+) many different types the Raptor is EASILY my favorite all around vehicle & best DD hands down....however the C5Z is still my favorite & holds the title as the single vehicle I have held on to longest @ 7.5 years. Truth be told I had intended on taking some cash I’d saved up + my C5Z title in hand & buying a new leftover 2018 Z06 that I got down to like $67.5k if I remember correctly- & then a deer stepped out in front of my GMC @ 70mph & totaled it....so I needed another DD not another toy, for a brief moment contemplated taking that cash I saved up ($15-20k) + the stupid $33.5k ins. Payout (owned GMC outright) + C5Z & going bonkers @ GM dealer getting another new GM truck + a C7 z51....but then I drove the raptor & all bets were off. I’m extremely happy w/ the Raptor purchase & you would be as well I’m sure, but nothing is gonna out the same grin & satisfaction on your face as ripping that vette around town. Bottom line- I still vote for you to get raptor but recommend trading down to a C6 or C5 Z06 or something like that to still have a toy car to whip around. [/QUOTE]
