Truck Trend Magazine - Curent Issue

[MagicMtnDan]

Was at SFO yesterday (trade show/conference at Moscone) and stopped in at the nice bookstore in Terminal 3 (UAL) where I saw the current issue of Truck Trend magazine with the Raptor on the cover.

They reviewed the 6.2L Raptor. Perhaps someone has it or will buy it, scan the article and post it here.

The most interesting item (to me) from the article is their statement that the 6.2L motor is capable of 500HP with some changes to the motor including cam profile, etc. (they offer some more details). I know it's not "news" since the Raptor XT uses such a motor but it is encouraging to me.

I hope that Ford will offer a street-legal version of the Raptor XT in the next couple years giving us more to look forward to.

The reason I didn't buy an issue of a magazine with the Raptor review in it is because I'm trying to deal with not having a 6.2 (it's taking up all of my waking hours) and I'm not sure I could handle reading yet another article about it. :mrgreen:

It's the same reason I don't buy People magazine. I don't want to read about the lives of TV and movie celebrities since I'm not one of them :mrgreen:
