1:14 or so for the first bump these guys hit.

I think they're interesting. Not something I'd probably ever own, but I like them. It does get a little old watching vehicles get raped like a motherfucker in commercials, but then if you do the same thing the warranty is voided. I'm all for showing some tire shredding Mustangs or jumping off cliffs Raptors, but they damn well should cover those abuses if it is going to be a cornerstone of their marketing campaign.

I guess being the first one to have the new toy comes with a price.

At 1:35-ish the rear hangs in the air for a couple seconds and looked like a pretty hard hit for that speed.

Another quote from that thread, kinda made me giggle:

BlueSVT
Very well written. Before everyone gets on here and says we "abused" our trucks. Not true at all, we just pushed them to their limits and found a problem with the design of the frame.

Yeah, when you push things to the limit something tends to break, or bend in this case.

When it breaks you've actually pushed it OVER its limit, no to it. If it was only to it, it wouldn't have broken. People can't use the english language worth a shit.

Does Dodge or Chevrolet even produce anything close to the Raptor? Just wondering.

GM is working on one:

and has this one in the overseas pipeline:

dodge has a new power wagon in works which may spawn a ram runner:

I like them all except the Chevrolet Colorado and it looks like Dodge took a few steps back words in the looks department.

We'll see how they hold up next to a SVT Raptor.


Edit: After reading a little bit into the article the Dodge isn't going to be street legal. Fucking gay. For the same price I'd take the street legal 6.2l Raptor over the HEMI trailed Dodge.

I was talking comprehension, not grammatics. And that wasn't directed at you, but the guy on the other forum.

Yeah, that's pretty much the definition of a limit.

Stevo

No apostrophe on "its" - "its" is possessive; "it's" is the contraction of "it" and "is."

English wasn't my best subject, but are apostrophes not also possessive?
