New Chevy Reaper- Raptor killer?

Tonight GM will unveil the new Reaper. It has all of the suspension goodies and standard engine is a 475HP 5.3 V8 with an optional 550 HP 6.2 on tap. This should make the GM crowd get all ruffled up. Here's the blog on it:

That may very well be the most hideous thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Haha. Wow, seriously...disgusting. I don't care if it's 1000 HP.

This is all I see when I look at it:

Be interesting to see the travel numbers on it once they finally release everything all the information on it.

Probably why they only went with a 33" tire versus the 35" tires on the raptor.

They will sell every one they build, because it doesn't look like there will even BE a Raptor in 2015.

What killed it for me; - I can't get passed the name and decals. I mean common, what are they really trying to prove ??

You think they could at least TRY to be more original.

uglier than sin.
My chevy buddies hated the Raptor just because it was a Ford. Now I will have more crap to listen to because it has "more power" Can't wait for one of these to twist the frame on the first jump.

Wait its just a kit? not a separate model like the raptor itself. How stupid. Is this going to be like a Ram Runner? Where the Raptor even beat that.
