Also, how is the name Raptor that much different than something like Cayman?

Dude was just trying to say something funny to show how above this vehicle he is, and it backfired.

I didn't see the end, but wasn't the question posed in which would they rather have? Thought they still opted for the Porsche, but not overwhelmingly.

They did and I think they all picked the Porche because of the stigma of being seen driving a Corvette.

dont care what the means to the end are, if the total name is "Ford Hennessey Velociraptor" then all parties are equally responsible for coming up with something so stupid.


Seems like you are the only one that has a problem with this.

Going out on a limb, but Im assuming Ford manufcatured this truck. No?


Yes.


I'm not sure you understand how this works. Ford makes the Raptor. Hennessy gets said stock Raptor, upgrades it and renames it the Velociraptor.

I think the Cayman is the best looking porsche made, but I am probably in the minority on that view.

So you being completely ignorant and spouting off is just justified by that fact?

Ford makes the base Raptor. Hennessey does a shite load of work to it and makes it a Velociraptor. Ford did not name it, nor did they make the truck what it is.

Good God. Are they really that snobby about American cars?

Hell, the C7 looks almost just like an F12 Berlinetta.

The 911 is a great car, but as far as the designing goes, it's more vanilla than a Toyota Camry.

It's just funny that you call people retards when you don't have the slightest idea what you're even talking about.

Why do you feel the need to elaborate. That is all understood from the get go. The name gives pretty decent context clues. I still dont understand how I am "ignorant" in all of this. It sounds like a white trash coonass named it, and that is the only thing I even commented on in the first place.

GTFO. The 911 is a timeless classic. It's elegant in a way a Corvette never will be.

ETA: And I love the new Vette, so this isn't me bashing it.
