White with the usual decals. Engine running out front of a restaurant unoccupied.
Literally sounded like heavy equipment running at a very active construction site. That thing is a beast. Too rich for my blood though. My story was cool, bro. |

I don't know what you're talking about but the pictures were a big help
Thanks! |

My dad has a 2018 velociraptor and it’s cool but Only if it’s a second car. Multiple issues and the downside is only Hennessy can really work on it. Hennessy is slow since they’re always backed up. His second car is a 2019 Mercedes s63 AMG so he doesn’t miss it much when it’s at Hennessy.
Also since it’s not the v8 anymore it sounds a bit silly to me. Makes lots of noises but you can tell it’s not the same deep roar of a V8. Also it randomly makes a backfiring noise all the time. At the time it was a known side affect that there was know solution for. Basically made the truck sound like it was sick and couching. Again, the performance is there and it’s cool to have a truck that’s quicker than 99% of cars on the road. He has stated he wouldn’t buy another after all the issues though. If you can afford one just buy a nice (normal) truck and a fast car as a second vehicle. |

Show us a pic of a Velociraptor somewhere other than a paved road….. When I see one in Baja on the Baja 1000 course chasing for a race team and going faster than a Raptor or even my ‘00 Dodge CTD 2500 4wd I will be impressed.

Was it smaller than you thought it was going to be?
A few months back, while looking for my non bird of prey model F150, I stumbled upon a super snake. It was almost 4 years old, with a fair amount of miles on it, and they were asking......$100,000 |

Is it just a toy to show off or is there a functional reason he needed the extra rear axle? |

Retards designing pickups now.
All major brand 2500s are higher than previous models. Because they "look cool" You know what you buy a truck for? Putting shit in it and taking shit out of it. You know what is a pain in the ass? Lifting heavy shit to high elevations. Every inch of height is a PITA. The bed went from waist to abdomen level. But it looks cool... Truck will not go into drive with door open. PITA to hook up a trailer. Hop in to nudge it back or forth an inch? Nope. Race pickups. I'm going to go to a ferrari dealer and ask which model has the best trailer package. |

I don't think that they all have an extra axle
Also it's Hennessy, so there's that. |

I wouldn't touch a Hennessey with a 10 foot pole. Back in the day I hung around places like supraforums and 6speedonline, and he had a lot of problems. Parting out vipers to finish other projects, all sorts of sketchy stuff.
For the price, a shelby baja, or just a regular tuned raptor will get you a similar level of performance. |

You think anyone gives a shit about impressing you? Not at all. The fanboy butthurt in this thread is entertaining though. I want to know what a 6x6 conversion that was originally designed to go fast over rough terrain does better after throwing $200k at it. Maybe you and your butthurt brothers could post a link to a site other than Hennessy that shows the 6x6 somewhere other than pavement along with test results showing what a new owner gets for a couple hundred grand. |
