Alright, guys. Here are a few shots I took this morning. I still need to give it a good detail but it looks good in the pics. I sure wouldn't ever want to have a head on accident with a Raptor though. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
The car is better than expected. I haven't leaned on it hard yet but she's got good torque from the lower end of the tach. The ride is smoother than I thought it would be and the few curves/on ramps I've tackled can be done at ludicrous speed. I haven't hammered on the brakes yet either. The interior is very comfortable and the Recaros are exceptional. The release for rear seat entry could work better. It doesn't return the seat back to the last position. The kids car seats both fit in the back reasonably well.
I already dropped in a K&N filter and larger diameter exhaust plates tonight. She really sounds mean now. I can't wait to rack up the miles and get her broken in.

Thanks!
No full throttle yet. 7500 RPM's is a lot for a brand new engine. I try to keep it under 4k for the first 500 miles and make sure to vary the engine load and RPM.
