Hennessey has never built a motor or car in his life! But, he is,was an expert hiring some dope ass wrenches!!! His mech helped me with a new RX7 in 1991, 500hp with bolt on stuff. Hessessey is an awesome cat & a great biz-man, Was happy to see his success!
I live an house away from sealy and has worked out in sealy before. I pass by the Hennessey race track a lot but never knew we had this much awesome near Houston. Thumbs up john Hennessey you make Texans proud. Oh and I helped build that new Carl's Jr on exit 709 on I-10 so that's nice.
+coachdsimpson you should do some research on Hennessey. He isnt a good guy. He is a scam artist who has ripped off many many people. Search "John Hennessey scam" on google.
I own a Raptor, and it's one of the most versatile vehicles I've ever seen. You can tow with it, haul crap with it, we use it as a camera truck, it has a luxurious interior with all the technology you'd need, it's comfortable for a road trip, cool enough to bring to a car show, and can run the Baja 1000 in completely stock trim with a roll cage and warranty intact. It's heavy, just like all other trucks. Besides that, what's not to like?
@@Anonymous-wu4rw For 70K you get nothing, except a bill for the inevitable lawsuit you've had to file after you find Hennessey has taken your money and truck, stripped it for parts and left it sat up in his shop for 6 months.
I live in Texas Dallas county in fact. And what he said at the end is very true, trucks are king in our state. We have places were we can rock climp, but we also have mud holes as well. Taking this to the Desert would be alot of fun, and they aren't that far away.
@@marcuscrawford9197 if you have a better tuner you probably can squeeze more power out of that truck and better mileage to boot but this guy just bolt on a bunch of off the shelf pieces on to a truck and call it a day and that's not tuning
I always had a passion for this truck. It's a really bad ass truck and it's easy to take off road or even be on the road.. I love that because you can easily put a truck in 4wd but this truck. It feels comfortable in dirt/mud situations because it had that in mind while being built. Congrats ford.
"...and for 70 grand out the door, how are you gonna do better than this?" Buy a 1st gen used Raptor for about $25k and add a Procharger for $7k. Total of about $32k for the same thing.
Eidrian111 Don’t Prochargers tend to add power more towards the high end of the rev range? Last I checked, Roots/twin-screws were for broad power bands
Gerardo Amaro well yeah but pro chargers are also noticeable on the lower end of the powerband, obviously not as much as the roots but then again they are more economical driving normally cause they are similar in function as turbos.
Those kits are incredibly expensive and very rare, of the 20 or so Raptors Hennessey had at his shop only one was getting the TT kit, and it was in a million pieces at the time we were there. The supercharged kit is their volume seller.
Chris Chandler for 16k$ i could put a transmission rated to 900 horse in my truck along with a brand new 572 big block putting down 720 hp at the crank, and then throw on a turbo kit and id be pulling well over 600 rwhp and still have the nastiest offroad pickup in town.
im definitely taking everything into account. ive done loads of motor changes from sbc's to bbc's and bbc's to sbc's. but thats saying id lose like 120 horse from the crank and i doubt itd be that much so id still probably have easily over 600. and eat up trucks like the raptor
Got a friend who custom ordered a f350 decked out with red interior, diesel, all the stuff, msrp....$79,000. Whatever happened to the plain old truck to hauls trash, wood, alll that. Feel bad scratching a 79g truck.
Isaiah Verdeja it's not bad.. payments would be 800-900ish a month. So normal for cars like that here in la. You must not live here. 70k wont even get you a new Amg. Leases are good too
I've had mine up North on some Michigan mud roads. He ain't lying about cleaning it for the next four days. Dirt gets in all kinds of places on that damn truck, and it takes at least 3 washes before you stop seeing mud in rinse.
If this was mine it would stay dirty, not just because it does look great dirty but because its a truck, to me i dont see why people clean trucks like these, the Raptor is made to go offroad so its supposed to be dirty. It might just be me that thinks that but honnestly i dont care to me a dirty truck is proof of a person using their truck as a TRUCK and not a car in the shape of a truck like unfortunately most people around here do.
In your 2nd sections of on-going sentence "because It's a truck". Wrong, A truck is most typically for hauling and towing. Offroading is for an ATV which Ford has done a fair job of here. I think you should be corrected to "because it's a Raptor". I totally can agree then.
+TheHardcoreLife really?! Wow... You do realize they used to make stick shift manual trucks a lot before people became too stupid to drive manual. You can actually still get stick shift trucks if you factory order them.
+ashilling97 Manual>Automatic. Full control. Power when YOU tell the vehicle you need it. No delay like with automatic. It's why every high performance race car has a stick shift or paddle shift instead of an automatic. They're just better. I can't believe people don't get that. You know wants up though!
They have sold a few of them, mostly to the middle east. The 600's outsell the 800's nearly 50-to-1, mainly because the 800 requires a complete engine rebuild.
in all fairness, you can run nearly any production V8 as hard as I did during this test and get poor fuel economy. On the highway, while cruising, the Velociraptor will return 14 mpg. Not great, but not too bad for a gas-powered, supercharged, 6,000 pound brick. The Cadillac CTS-V wagon we tested returned 6 MPG over a FULL WEEK of daily use. Now that's bad.
no, I did the 1000 back in 2003, and got banged around so much I burst a disc in my spine. No more baja racing for me, after 2 back surgeries before the age of 30.
YES! I have an 85 silverado K10 with full lock in 4wd, 400 smallblock engine, overhead intake mainfold edelbrock made, cowl inducted hood for cold air intake with a high rise 4 barrel carb. :) And dual cherry bombs!
The Supercab Raptor is a unique truck. In 2009, Ford stopped selling supercab short bed F150s, and the Raptor is the only truck with that 133" wheelbase available. Its also the only short wheelbase F150 available with the 6.2L engine.
ive never been down to texas but if theres tons and tons and tons of roads like that I would live to drive my BAJA with a STi conversion on it, looks like tons of fun, nasty truck wish I had the cash
Matt, great call, when you see someone important @ Ford mention the paddle shifters. I have a 5.0L F150 with the six speed and want them too. 120mph with all terrain tires=blowout soon after.
HONEST QUESTION. I have a2010 ford raptor but i decided on the 5.4 liter would it be worth adding the 16k to it being a 5.4 engine to make it a velociraptor?
sure you can. I own a stock Raptor, and have put 30,000 miles on it in the last 2 years. You're saying I can't tell if a truck, that's otherwise identical to one I own and drive every day, has 50% more horsepower?
look up the gale banks baja powerstroke .300 stock hp. modded like that i think it was like 400 hp., and huge torque, lightly modded, to stay reliable. and big lift with 33s.it sounds nasty, does not smoke. and is fast.nasty truck. gale banks baja test powerstroke. out in california. great video.
This video was posted on my birthday, my ultimate dream car is a Raptor and Hennessey is in Texas which is the state I live in. Our fates are meant to come as one.
It was a great cover on the trucks... Really enjoyed watching you play in the mud with that awesome raptor. I just feel like it was too bad that I had to sit through the crude language to watch it. I like to watch and share articles with my son, who is also a truck lover like his dad, but couldn't share this one. You guys can do what you want of course, but would be nice if you cleaned up the language. Just my opinion.
I'm not really that much of a truck person but here is my opinion on why some people would rather do gasoline: Most stations don't carry diesel, you might have to go out of your way to fill up, the cost to maintain a diesel engine is enough to think twice, when something does go wrong you can't take it to any mechanic, you have to go to a diesel mechanic. Also it is comforting to know that a well-known professional has tuned your truck, not a locally known shop that could have made a mistake.

70 grand out the door? Hell I'll take 2.
wish he would've filmed the wash at the end. Would have been SO satisfying
exactly what i was thinking :D
Kripple Hippo he probably could have made another video of just washing the truck and got a good amount of views lol
I my self respect *FORD*
because they've made:
_Eleanor_
_exhaust system_
_Raptor_
*MUCH RESPECT FOR ALL THAT*
I like how he says "good truck" like it's an animal haha.
The 2017 raptor will never sound like that beast

why must I be poor
hi
feel ya bro
why is it not avadible in south africa
work hard
Mrpanda it's okay, you can lease one!
If I were rich I'd buy one. 70k is a shit load of money. But this wouldn't be my daily driver. Just a stock raptor or f150 is good for me
For any
+Zoxur Look at the mileage, you need to be rich to be able to keep this car on the road

SilverFurby what
This is great video editingfor its time. great stuff
Beautiful sound
the 800 upgrade is very expensive, it requires a full engine and transmission rebuild.
so im pretty sure this truck is a good first truck right?.... right
The Drive video's absolutely nail getting the engine sounds recorded right. Better than top gear I rekon!
already a very powerful truck, $16K in suspension would make it a hell of a lot faster off pavement than motor upgrades.
so matt, between this and the sdhq eco-raptor, which do you like better?
He said this in another video.
One day.... One day I will own one of those...
I live in Texas Dallas county in fact. And what he said at the end is very true, trucks are king in our state. We have places were we can rock climp, but we also have mud holes as well. Taking this to the Desert would be alot of fun, and they aren't that far away.
Another great video guys, so wish we could get even the standard Raptor Downunder
can we just get a video that loops the sound of that engine for like 20 minutes?
Lmao 3.6 to the gallon...
***** 1.53 kpl lol not very much. it basically drinks gas like no other!
+Raul Ilea Basically just think of how much you would say is pretty bad mpg/k and divide that by four.
That's less than a Bugatti
It's a truck for fun...If you want mpg get a hybrid

I subscribed because my dad just got his raptor made into a velociraptor and so since im getting that truck when he gets tired of it I love ittttttt
"...and for 70 grand out the door, how are you gonna do better than this?"
Buy a 1st gen used Raptor for about $25k and add a Procharger for $7k.
Total of about $32k for the same thing.
That's true. I think I might just do that in the future.
Prochargers are the best for the raptors!! Huge power gains all over the band.
Eidrian111 Don’t Prochargers tend to add power more towards the high end of the rev range? Last I checked, Roots/twin-screws were for broad power bands
Gerardo Amaro well yeah but pro chargers are also noticeable on the lower end of the powerband, obviously not as much as the roots but then again they are more economical driving normally cause they are similar in function as turbos.
ram runner. more Baja pedigree. but still love the raptor. ram runner and raptor ftw.
Both good, but the Raptor has outperformed the Ram in multiple tests, so I think it will help build up that pedigree.
no. ram runner is more faster and way more Baja. nuff said.
Nathan Dial That's not what the pros say. They aren't even close.
SO I WOULD KNOW
"More faster and way more Baja." LOL

"I'M IN LOVE!😍"
16,000 for a supercharger and exhaust? Fuck that!
well..
and cutouts, and a trans (mind you a largely expensive trans)

i agree but on the other hand if you don't clean it every so often it will begin to rott its still metal
That acidic mud will teach you to wash your 45K truck hopefully before it's too late.
Not washing it is actually a pretty bad idea. You'd be very impressed the amount of damage mud can cause to a truck.
How can you do better than the 70000$ velociraptor? A velociraptor with a stickshift!

What did Hennessey do?
do a little internet research
Mike West I looked it up. I know now.
hes talking of $70k like its $700
if money wasn't a problem, id def go with this beast!
great vid!
Nice Vid. Thanks for the CC.
sounds like a beast
That boost gauge in the vent was dope af
I like how he makes his "welcome to mullet america" comment, but then gets real friendly with the mud in that truck.
"i told you, the supercharger doesnt change the size of the god damn bed!" hahaha classic
Love the review!!.. You earned yourself another subscriber here.. :-)
just love this vehicle velociraptor
This video was uploaded on my birthday!
and hes LOVING IT!!
If I look it up, huh? Damn, that's quite an argument there! I'm convinced.

Different Vehicles for Different terrain..
This would make for one hell of a ranch truck!!
if i get a raptor im doing this. awesome truck
for those particular roads, you could. For some of the roads I've taken my raptor on, no way.
Selling soul for this truck.
sure you can. I own a stock Raptor, and have put 30,000 miles on it in the last 2 years. You're saying I can't tell if a truck, that's otherwise identical to one I own and drive every day, has 50% more horsepower?
can someone please say what exhaust that is? he never says in the video
is a perfect truck
Dream truck
6.2 liter? What would a 6.0 LS do with that kind of boost?
look up the gale banks baja powerstroke .300 stock hp. modded like that i think it was like 400 hp., and huge torque, lightly modded, to stay reliable. and big lift with 33s.it sounds nasty, does not smoke. and is fast.nasty truck. gale banks baja test powerstroke. out in california. great video.
HEY SERIOUS QUESTION WHRERE DID U GUYS GET THE RED LIGHTS FOR THE GRILL THERE SWEET! WANT TO GET SOME FOR MINE!
Would it be practical at all to send your Shelby Rapt or to get modded by hennessy?
umm is the exhaust a usa only option? ive been working for ford for a year now and i havent seen that option on any 6.2L raptor....
This video was posted on my birthday, my ultimate dream car is a Raptor and Hennessey is in Texas which is the state I live in.

friggin awsome

I love Matt's Commentaries

getting one of these bad boys once i get back stateside
I'm not really that much of a truck person but here is my opinion on why some people would rather do gasoline: Most stations don't carry diesel, you might have to go out of your way to fill up, the cost to maintain a diesel engine is enough to think twice, when something does go wrong you can't take it to any mechanic, you have to go to a diesel mechanic. Also it is comforting to know that a well-known professional has tuned your truck, not a locally known shop that could have made a mistake.
you guys know they make a roush to right?
does someone know, is the raptor supercab significantly different in handling than supercrew? i know its theoretically different but i wonder in reality how much.....
