Raptor fighter? - Page 4

I can see all of the cosmetic portions of this package making it to some Chevy Package in the near future. A lot of people do these exact changes (well not CF parts and an LSA, but a lift kit and 20s with widebody fenders), but now to have Chevy certify the steering geometry, etc would be worthwhile for the owners. Probably even a money-maker if it's by order only and they aren't sitting on the dealer lots. They wouldn't call it a raptor fighter, they'd just call it a ZR2 extreme or something like that.

You never know though, Dodge is coming out with the new Power Wagon and that appears to be a pretty solid off-road package (more a crawler package though), maybe the competition is heating up here again?

I think they needed a pretty wrapper to fill floor space. It's pretty useless in the real word.

Here is my favorite Raptor Fighter. Its not a truck, but I think it looks a lot better than any of the truck in this thread.

I hope it sees production. If they add some creature comforts I would consider it as a DD.

Unless GM makes it into a Baja truck it won't be a Raptor fighter.

Different trucks for different jobs.

For you hardcore truck types, here's a couple of videos.

Check out the 632 cu in truck at the beginning of this:

And for the really psychotic, a 1750 hp 427 TT "Raptor" type offroad truck:

The suspension travel on this is crazy...

Enjoy.
