What makes it worse is when you find out how poor of a performance shop hennessey is.. There best service is the way marked up prices, terrible tunes, poor installations and terrible customer service. They had a customer arrested for coming in griping after they royally screwed up his Lamborghini with one of their terrible tunes. take a look around the raptor, exotic car and vette forums and you will see what I mean.


I won't even start in on how bad I hate top gear in America or BBC...
Ha. Yeah I wouldnt give anyone $7,000 for 65 more HP. Thats ridiculous. Ill be happy with just the stock Raptor plus some Toyo MT's and 20's. No mods required. But this video does a really good job showcasing the capabilities of the truck.

And Gerrard, Im not wild about the interior either, Ill be sticking with the solid black once I throw my wad of cash at the dealer for one of these things.

Hennessey puts on a big show, makes a big deal out of being 'first to market' and all they do is repackage other people's products with their name and charge an absurd premium. On raptorforumz one member called out hennessey for their prices and repackaging and they still lied about it... 15k for a turbo'd raptor kit that does not include a tune, installation or the proper dyno time... Come on..


My money would go to livernois or 5 star if I had just dropped that kinda coin on a raptor. Hennessey just has too many unsatisfied customers and complaints for my taste.

Agreed. I would never spit the cash for Hennessey. Much rather go with a stock Raptor.

Lol, they put a "loud" button in it...really? My next truck very well may be a raptor, but i'l pass on the button. Might have to move to mexico though, don't think va has that kind of terrain unless you count pot holes.
