Stuff that never happened for 500 Alex

You know Alex is dead & you must suck at Jeopardy hahahaha.

These aren't my fastest times, they are my fastest public times. Regardless, just from these, and a Google search for you about Vettes (I've had 2 regulars, and a z06). See screenshots.
Also the #1 Raptor R 1/4 mile guy is a fake run, he won't take it down.

Outran a stock Mustang GT while pulling a 20ft car hauler yesterday, that was a fun one.

Happy to help you get yours up to speed, DM me or email [email protected]

You can post draggy times all you want it doesnt mean anything unless you are at the track. Happy you have owned a bunch of corvettes, you arent the only one. and hunting stories are just that stories.

Dang Jory, you got me.
Only reason I mentioned having vettes was to say I'm familiar with the platform/performance of them.
I'll put a video here but you'll say it's AI. So I'm heading up North to The Shootout in a few weeks, why don't you come out and cheer on a fellow Raptor. I will buy you a ticket. Hoping to have some good 10 second runs as we've added a few hundred more ponies and won't be spinning at the track. Video Dragy Dyno Etc.

@YukonRanger I apologize for these posts. I was excited you caught one in the wild & wanted to share.

I mean if you posted a video at the track then Ill shut up about it, thats only fair. I grew up where the vette is made, my grandfather worked at the plant for 40 years, I've been in the import scene for a long time, and the Raptor being my first non-japanese vehicle. Every car group has their "stories". Good luck at the strip, I wanna see the results and be proven wrong.

I've had as many people rev at me in the Ranger Raptor as I did in my Golf GTI.

It's tiresome.

The same goes for everyone with a competing pickup truck trying to park right next to me when I'm at the end of the parking lot. It's like failing to observe urinal regulation, in my opinion.

Same thing happened with the Golf.

That might be a regular F-150 Raptor with some R flare. The Raptor R has resonated exhaust tips that would have been obvious near the end of the video.
