I Gave You Time to Come Clean, Now I'm Tellin'

I guess you're gonna keep quiet like it's classified information or something soooo,

Chris (Cali), Chris (Tenn) test drove a Raptor today!

 

[john112deere]

Damn...I thought I done good parking next to one at work the other day.

 

[5.0Flareside]

i was gonna start a thread bout it..... lol....

i also test drove a 2011 Mustang 5.0....

 

[Skandocious]

Wtf?! WELL!??! Thoughts!?

 

[5.0Flareside]

The 6.2 is stout if you have it wound up to 5k RPM's all the time.. anything beneath 3500 rpms its not the quickest thing. but it drives smooth as silk... love the way it rides and drives.... I would love to have one... i really hope to see them drop a ecoboost 3.5 in it or ecoboost the 5.0 and drop in it....

the mustang, OMG... half throttle will get her going pretty quick!!!!

Hm... I guess my standards are lower (as a result of always owning slow trucks) because I drove a regular ol' 2010 F150 5.0L at the car show in San Jose recently and it was faster than crap... At least compared to my truck it was... If the 5.0 impressed me then I can only imagine how the 6.2 would feel.

And by the way-- that truck I drove at the car show is probably the only new F150 that I've ever driven... I don't think I had driven anything newer than a gen 9 before that (drove my bro's 2010 F250 PSD but that was a whole different experience). I was blown away by the difference 15 years can make. Damned thing handled a like a compact car. I'm dying to drive the Raptor but I'll wait til I've got a little more cash before I walk into the dealership-- I've heard that a lot of dealerships won't let you test drive a Raptor unless you're seriously considering a purchase (not that they could really hold you to it).

hehe... thats the perks of knowing a sales person there...

hell i drove the new GT mustang too... just because i know the sales person also...

but it drives smooth as silk...

That disappoints me.

I feel weird driving something that I can't hear or feel.

Cool deal though man. There's a Raptor that parks near me at school. It's the burnt copper color.

well the way it feels is cause the way the suspension is set up for lots of travel, it helps reduce the bumps on the road, and also the tires arent bad at all for the road, they are fairly soft treaded... rides real real good and steers great... definatly can tell its wider as its fun to park....

 

[5.0Flareside]

yeah.. this was the orange with the digital dirt... idc.. it was an awesome ride...

 

[Fordzilla80]

Ahh I see. My Ranger has very little travel in the front, so pulling up onto my driveway is like hitting a wall.lol. Once I crank the T-Bars though i'll gain a bit of travel so it won't be near as rough.

I like the Blue Raptor. I just wish the rear axle didn't kiss the back of the cab.

 

[5.0Flareside]

i like the plain blue or the plain black... idk which is my favorite though... i think the blue is...

 

[Fordzilla80]

I don't mind the graphics too much. I wish Ford offered different wheels though.

Great post! It's very nice. Thank you so much for your post.

I am so tired of these spammers.

While we're talking about new rigs...while I was at the dealership getting my stang buffed, they let me drive around Mooresville in an '11 Sploder for an hour or so. This one to be exact:

http://www.mooresvilleford.com/new/...2011_ford_explorer/vehicle/1FMHK7F82BGA09131/


IMO...not what an explorer should be...but pretty frickin nice, it's like an Edge with another row of seats. I suppose when little me's start running around, I'll probably upgrade Bailee from the Edge to that.


Oh...and the first Mustang I test drove to see if I'd be comfortable in it, was actually a 5.0...about made me piss myself, I wasn't expecting the 412hp. This one to be exact:

I haven't driven a Raptor yet...but I did see the lowest window sticker price on one I've seen, it was right at 48K...I'm thinking it was a 2010.
