Chevy has revealed the Chevy Reaper:









Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition. All that means is we'll continue to see improvements between the two.



EDIT:

More info here. Reaper

Tuned by Lingenfelter, 0-60 estimated 6 seconds... Ford has got some SERIOUS competition.

fricking terrible, and it's not actually GM doing it. It's an aftermarket company doing some aesthetic changes.

To be fair, the work put in by Southern Comfort Automotive and Lingenfelter shouldn’t be shortchanged. We just expected it to be a little darker than what was actually presented. That being said, the aero kit is pretty comprehensive, thanks to a Southern Comfort and a Supercharged Reaper Package.


Then again, the Raptor is tuned by SVT. Although they are part of Ford it isn't "technically" Ford.

But you're just a Ford fanboy anyway. No convincing will help.

I still think the Raptor is king. We'll see what this brings.

Serious competition? What's the price tag? You could buy multiple 600hp Hennessey Raptors for one of those monstrosities.

I agree. Healthy competition is one thing but rediculous copy is another.

Could they have made it any uglier?

One of my neighbors has a roush off-road raptor. I'm
Not sure how it performs but it rattles my windows when he starts it up.

I like the Raptor kind of thinking about getting one but haven't made my mind up yet.
