Ford Raptor Exclusive First Drive Video

I'm not sure if you guys know what i've been up to but I have partnered with the founder of Streetfire to start a new company called AutoStream where we run a series of internet shows.

Our first episode of Matt Farah's new "the Smoking Tire" is done (you may remember Matt from Garage419)

Here is the exclusive first drive of Fords new SVT Raptor

Good luck Scott on your new endeavor!


Truck looks great. I think Ford has been feeling pretty good about itself lately.

Definitely needs a manual option, but it won't get it. Why didn't the SVT Lightning ever get a manual?

When is the official launch?

And I'm sure a simple blower kit (roots based) will be available, hell an existing kit probably already fits.

Good luck with the new project Scott! The Raptor looks absolutely mean, especially from the front end.

its a nice truck but i only give it 2-3 years cause of CAFE standards and demands for trucks are in its way.
people are buying Fusions, Accords,Civics, and Altimas
not F-150s, Silverados and Yukons. only people that own the F-150s,Silverados and Yukons are ones that need it. its not the soccer moms who takes it to Starbucks.
even our production(Honda) for the Ridgeline is down and i know our Ridgeline does better gas mileage than this big boy.
