Anyone else going? Looks like a good one this year: NSX, CTS-V, ATS-V, Ford GT?, Lexus F, and plenty of other good stuff I am sure.

Does not seem that way, they plan to race it at le mans in 2016 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1966 podium sweep. Details leaked are twin turbo V6 drivetrain, and modern/non retro styling.

Sounds fun, but I will not make it. However, I will be be working the Lotus booth again this year at the Buffalo Auto Show though, so I will cert. get my fair share of new car exposure this year…

Hearing that Ford filed for the EcoBeast named definitely got me pumped about the possibilities for the next-gen Raptor. From the pics I’ve seen though the '15 styling looks a bit too HD for the Raptor, still on the fence but I’m sure there will still be some styling tweaks. My heart is with the 13-14 Rap…

I don’t know man, that 2015 Hennessey is BADASS. This one makes a pretty good case for a badass 2015 as well:

The old rapper looks better to me still, nice fender flares and wide aggressive stance.

Wow that one does look sick, maybe it was the yellow color throwing it off for me.  
Who knows maybe there will be a 2014 Raptor for sale thread next yr…lol. If they drop the 600HP EcoBeast engine in the 700lb lighter frame, it will be very very tempting to trade up.

Ohh the anticipation…turbos and lighter body…im sure the looks will be on par for the raptor.

I’m not really even convinced the raptor is worth the coin. You can probably build a better truck from a less expensive model and have it actually be unique.
