Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 this is SVT's next product, although no official name as of yet. the suspension is based off of the JDFabrication 4x4 long travel kit(only 4WD LT kit for the 04+ trucks), and comes stock with fox racing piggyback reservoir shocks(seriously, stock!!!), selectable lockers both front and rear, 35" BFG ATs(somehow, they fit a spare under the bed too), flared fenders front and rear, 4.10 gears, fords new 6 speed auto tranny, and the new 6.2l BOSS V8 pushing out 380hp and 420lb-ft! with this suspension system, it has a full foot of front suspension travel, and possibly more in the rear. cant wait to see these things out in the dirt(and sand)!!!

OSUGT Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Nice Find! It's exciting to be around the new 2009 F150! Lots of new features, upgraded performance and the new interior rocks! This raptor will probably be similar in appearance to this below: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=YZSeWZx-bbQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Liked the dual shocks. Kinda like a street legal Baja or SODA series truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thought SVT was RIP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thought SVT was RIP? far far from it! they did majority of the ford GT development, with assistance from saleen and roush. the GT500 is also a 100% SVT product(really, there are badges all over the car, and SVT is referenced many times in the booklet), and the raptor is the latest project they've been working on since then. and, yes, every single news column that said they were dead was completely wrong. this all started because SVT, FRPP, and ford racing all merged under one name, but they are still seperate entities, they just work together some(for instance, the FRPP packs for the GT500 were fully developed by SVT). that merger lead everyone to assume that ford killed SVT. hau thai tang also got promoted to head dude in ford of brazil, which people took as a further sign of its axing. but they never were axed, their development center never moved(in dearborn, connected to a roush building that aids them in development), and there were no major layoffs or anything. SVT being axed was all a rumor started because the ignorant automotive press assumed that this is what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
