Thread: NY Auto Show Insane Jeep!

I saw that truck awhile ago, it was/may still be for sale on Jameslist. I wanna say it was like $399,000, or some similarly ridiculous number. It is kinda cool as like a promotional vehicle, because it Definitely attracts a lot of attention.

Looks like right out of a Expendables movie set, awesome

I'm building my own version from a base 2012 Ford Raptor Crew Cab for GRV. At Hennessey now being converted to a VelociRaptor 800 first then the cosmetic and electronics....

own version of a jeep from a raptor?

Yeah, My custom built Hennessey Performance VelociRaptor800 Ninja Zombie Killer. Took a stock 2012 Raptor Crew Cab and ripped the front and rear end off to replace with 1/4" steel FabFours body parts with a 16500 winch and a 1/4" steel Headache Rack. Refinished everything in Matte Black front to back and loaded on the LEDs throughout then dropped in $50k of electronics right out of a new version of the typical police cruiser. Hennessey is modifying the suspension, engine, exhaust, brakes, transmission, transfer case, adding supper cooler, supercharger, new pistons and cam, dual turbos dialable in the cab and a slew of other mods to give it over 800HP and 775 Ft Lbs or Torque at the wheels so she can keep up with the Lamborghini, Ferrari, & Bugatti on Gold Rush V this June. She'll look mean as hell, be strong as an ox and capable of 165 on the highway so we can keep up with the front of the pack and avoid getting caught up with the ticket collectors in the middle. Just my piece of fun to add to next years rally season...

Sample pic before she got started on the heavy modifications last July with my Corvette GS 675 Mod

I mean I get the whole "because we can" attitude but I feel like it only goes so far. Guess I've just never been a fan of a compound boost set up. Always just thought it was money better spent elsewhere.

That's ok... Not everyone will get it and that's ok with me. It's a $200k pickup. It's supposed to be fast as hell with a style all it's own. And I'm spending the money elsewhere also so where's the loss adding more boost. Isn't that kind of the point!!!
