[QUOTE="badwolf, post: 907442, member: 13522"] I will definitely not be buying a V6 raptor, regardless of final specs. I like V8's period. I know that emissions regulations coupled with business decisions has been driving companies towards both forced induction smaller displacement motors as well as reducing how many families of motors they have, and that they didn't feel like doing the chrysler thing and paying "carbon credits" to keep the V8s, but I like having V8's. I would rather have seen them force induct a smaller displacement V8 than a V6 of equal displacement. I know they have risen to the challenge and are dealing with it by putting out big final power numbers and tossed in a 10sp, but personally i just don't like it and wouldn't buy it. Just like if there was no V8 option for the mustang i wouldn't buy that either. If i was crazy rich and could afford it, I wouldn't buy the new Ford GT either because of the V6. I mean, to each their own, and thats ok. Some might agree with me, obviously others disagree with me and can't wait to get the new raptor and hey, power to you, great, hope you get to enjoy it soon.
