With how the guy sounded, you'd almost think it wasn't his car.

...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.

Waiting for this response?? So you think that finishing the Dakaar Rally or competing basically stuck in the Baja 1000 and finishing is equal to some moron jumping a truck 90 ft at what looks like 60-70 miles and hour?

Well the SVT Chief engineer kind of implies the stock Raptor could handle the Baja.

“You can say the average customer is not likely to take his vehicle and enter it in the Baja 1000, but if you look at the things that happen in that 1000-kilometer race, over the life of a vehicle, you just might repeat those events,” said Hameedi. “Maybe not all in one day, but over that 100,000 miles, knowing the vehicle will stand up to the Baja 1000 is important to off-road enthusiast customers.”

christ, Anyone with a brain knows that is marketing talk. Only a retard would take a Stock Raptor, or any Raptor for that matter, through the Baja 1000. Though you seem to have a very large amount of idiots down there in the US, as displayed in the video....
