Okay rook!
Only on this site is horsepower and sound the end all be all...... I prefer balance with my trucks and my cars which is why I would gladly take a GT350 over a redeye any and everyday....but that's a different subject for a different thread
And most trails in Big Bear........
I agree with you there, no, from an actual offroad stand point and the capacity of the Raptor and TRX suspensions, no they absolutely do not need 700hp.
I also could not give less of a shit what my truck sounds like, I prefer them quiet so IDC if it's a V8, V6 or even electric. To me, sound is for performance cars.
I'm just sitting here thinking both sides of the argument are retarded. I'll never get on the side of someone who buys a 700hp vehicle just cuz and uses it to pick their nose in traffic.
I think that’s an easier choice though as the GT350 sounds amazing and is a great over all drivers car. The two are vastly different where as the TRX and Raptor are near the same.
personally I’d pick the GT350 as well but there is very little compromise in that choice and a better comparison would be would you want a ecoboost V6 Mustang vs even a V8 mustang if they both were similarly equipped power wise and capability wise?
Please post pic of said VW beetle in action ..... I didn't realize how far stock beetles have come
Have come?? They've been doing it every single year since the 1960's. They still run a beetle class to this day, they use the OG vw suspension with quality shocks these days.
Might I add that the gen1 Raptor ran the Baja in 35hours. The beetle class winners are around 25hours.

I think you're getting off track because your analogy doesn't fit the arguments in question. Absolutely nobody in this thread is saying if absolutely everything was equal they prefer a V6 over a V8
That was the point of all of this, ppl claimed ( you included) that it didn't matter the performance aspect they couldn't get over the V6 motor.
When I was replying to @ZYBORG I was simply stating I don't view HP and the end all be all like most on this site do
That comment has gotta sting, bet it leaves a mark...but if it had a V8 and a more capable suspension that 25 hours might be achievable.
Interesting.....like I have said many times I am new to this word and this is my first truck. When I got a truck I knew I wanted to be able to haul my toys and still go out and jump it and do off road rallies . I went and drove a rebel , tundra , trail boss and titan and none felt as light, fast and planned as the raptor and when researching how all the trucks who handle the adventures I wanted to have all pointed to the raptor .
Oh well....looks like I completely wasted 70k and I could've had my same fun with a beetle . ......wait I didn't get a beetle because of the sound.....yea that's it lol
Performance and sound. Don’t get it twisted. I had a 15 5.0 and while it sounded good, it was a dog. Now having 650hp to match the sound...much better. Lol. Hard to argue against a high hp crazy sounding v8 on a performance forum.
35 hours because all the fuel stops...Gen1 gets like a 1/4 tank to the mile.
I still think the raptor looks better, can't stand the two tone really. Also, for me, the gt350 looks better than the ZLE I currently have...but once I'm inside of it, it's all about the powertrain and chassis. I enjoy the LT4 so much more than I did the voodoo.

You jump and “off road rally” your raptor eh? Lmao. Ok
Do you have any idea what a built “beetle” sounds like?
The shit coming out of your mouth stinks so bad it’s almost hard to tell if your trolling or just dumb.
Probably the latter.

thats what the ecoboost mustang guys would say. imagine if the GT350R was an ecoboost 4 banger. but still had 550hp.
This is the color I would want but with the optional bead lock capable wheels. Such a good looking set up.
I may bee the odd one here but I’ve actually grown to love the look of the ZL1 over the GT350 the more I see them in person. They seem like a great compromise if you can even call it that between the gt350 and gt500 and a killer price point
The resident Raptor expert, bragging that all his knowledge is substantiated because he actually owns a Raptor, has a mind blowing 600 miles on his truck?
LMAO
LMAO
I’m not completely sold on the gloss black paint at the bottom, need to see some in person. Only way around it is to order the diamond black...only monotone color they offer, kinda surprised by that.
And yeah i don’t hate the ZL1, just think the lines on the 350 are some of the best ever. After trading, the bang for buck in the ZL1 is pretty damn amazing.
