Hennessey’s VelociRaptor puts down 463hp and 483 lb/ft at the wheels, which should—and by should I mean will—make Ford’s bad-ass off-roader significantly more bad-ass. Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire owns a stock raptor, and he just got a chance to head down to Texas and check out exactly how much the mad scientists at the […] More »

Given the decrepit stance of the truck, I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time it’s gone over this jump, and the […] More »

We know that the Raptor is as tough as a factory truck gets. But operator error can make even the best of the best fail. Here, it looks like the driver managed to stick the landing. The problem is, he stuck it with the nose of the truck. This took place at the Oceano Dunes in the […] More »
