605 HP 2012 Ford Raptor Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Expedition Truck or, as I would call it, The Earth Fucker.
The Doking, a coal powered err electric car that gets to 60 in 4.2. And it proves my wife’s point that all eco-friendly cars are kind of ugly.
Infiniti to make an electric sports car?
Jaguar XJ. And there’s a supercharged version, which can pass anything but a repair shop.

I don’t see a shell, light rack, or jerry can holder anywhere on that truck, that ain’t an expedition vehicle!

I just love that there’s a Jag out there called the “Portfolio”.
Somewhere, an Occutard cries.

$75K for an F150?
Insane.

Alan: not insane, stupid, since for those bucks, you can get an HD diesel 1-ton from any of the Big Three, take it to Gale Banks, (or BullyDog) get it jumped up to that power level, AND have enough bux left over to add the expedition trimmings.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Yeah, Nothing like a 8000lb Diesel to go treading in the soft mud. Granted the Raptor is heavy too, but a thousand pounds is a big deal. Also, it is much wider than a standard F-150, so it has a better stance.
I agree it is too much, but I guess the market will decide that.

With performance like that and the cost of a fillup being miniscule, I can deal with its “I wanna be mean but I cannot get past looking cute” aesthetics.
Assuming, of course, that the car is priced at something less than that Jaguar. Which I doubt.
