450 hp at the flywheel. Not enough to justify the huge price I'm sure they will ask. Good looking truck though.

450 HP in a truck will be absolutely undrivable

if you want to go fast, get a vette, mustang or something built to go fast, not an overweight, unbalanced vehicle meant to be a utility vehicle

Hahaahahahah, your joking right? 450 FLywheel HP in a 6000lb truck is not really that much at all. That truck won't even break into the 13's or hardly the low 14's. It's still slower than the final gen 380hp lightning truck that weighs 1000lbs less. My truck is around 415-420 flywheel hp and trust me......it is FAAARRR from undriveable. If it had somewhere near 700hp (like Rafael's) then we would start to talk about being undrivable, but 450 is cake.

Lol, I think it's a nice looking truck. I wouldn't mind having one, but I do drive a 4x4 so I can get through these NE Ohio winters. It wouldn't be a bad summer ride though!

Actually, after some more thought, for the same money (or maybe less money) I think I'll put it on a new Shelby Mustang. How about over 500 supercharged ponies in a mustang? Now that's what I really want. Nice looking truck though, and with the Foose name on it I'm sure they'll have no problem selling them right now. That guy has got one of the hottest names in custom autos right now and he's a marketing genius.--DIY

You mean like this





2.6" pulley, JLT CAI, RWTD tune, and SLP Loudmouth exhaust. 543 rwhp and 540 rwtq. Thinking about an aftermarket blower. Kenne Bell or the new Eaton TVS. Both should be good for 650-750 hp depending on the pulley size.

Dude, you suck! That's one sick car. Not sure if I would like the convertible or the hard top better though. That's an awesome ride.--DIY

yep, empty bed and cornering will be fun with even the dampest road or if you break the weels loose on dry pavement even

This is the first convertible I ever owned and I love it. Sure is nice this time of the year. Drop the top and enjoy the weather. The top is made from the same material used on the Jaguar. Here's a recent pic with my new wheels and light bar installed.

Have you driven an F150 with 450+ hp? I'm right at 500hp at the flywheel and my truck is VERY driveable. In fact, I would say it is a safer truck to drive now than it was stock. Merging in tracffic is a lot better now that it can get out of it's own way!
