Hennessey V8 Raptor vs Stock Ford Raptor Comparison

What happens when you race a stock 450 hp V6 Ford Raptor truck against a 758 hp supercharged V8 Ford Raptor? Yes, we know the V8 wins but by how much? Hint: The gap is measured by bus lengths!

Very impressive. But still I don't think that gap is worth 70k on top of a regular VelociRaptor from Hennessey

$ 147, 950 Hennessey V8 Raptor vs Stock Ford Raptor $ 65, 000

Put a performance tune on that Ecoboost and give it a half door too and do the test over.

Street speed 717 show us that we can buy a 725hp f 150 for 40k. I truly don't see the value pay 70k on top of a base Raptor.

[billpeirce]

Definitely not worth 70k extra for the v8.
Be better to jst buy the Shelby f-150 v8 750 hp super charger truck.

For everyone who’s watching and wants to know. There’s two ways to have a V8 Raptor. This company that puts a V8 in a Raptor. But it’ll cost you 150 grand. Plus their build time is several months and they are limiting production to just a hundred a year I believe. But you’ll have a real Raptor with a V8.


There’s another company that takes any trim level F-150 V8 crew cab and takes OEM parts and bolts on everything to make a Raptor Clone. They’ll even bolt on aftermarket parts to customize it how you want. They are also doing the F-150 diesel trucks now. There is a few off road modes you won’t have like the Baja Mode with their conversion. Their build time is about a month and will cost you about 35 grand if you want the suspension, bodywork, and supercharger on top of the price of the 2015 or newer F-150 you either already have or just bought.

Why is the VelociRaptor V8 only a 2 door? Where's the 4 door V8 Raptor?

[lesszabo]

Even though the EcoBoost beats my v-8 Raptor by a little bit, I'd still rather have that eight cylinder note over the six.

[richsoto]

that thing sounds great! I would love to see the Velociraptor against the high output Limited F150....that would be a lot closer race.

[moyatime]

2 things...

1) 70k for just "that gap" is not worth it.
2) 4 Doors STOCK RAPTOR vs 2 Doors HENNESSEY RAPTOR is not fair/ even. Got me??

[levi]

They mod the v6 raptor they should have shown 2 built trucks

[YouAHater]

I used to drag there back in high school, that railroad crossing you see there is exactly a quarter mile away from there, on green, I’m going for it.

[jwatsonbassin]

I have been waiting for this!!! Who's with me?

[jaredbrown]

“Others said it couldn’t be done and we went ahead and did it”. Congratulations Hennessey you accomplished an engineering feat that was putting a V8 in a half ton truck. Why didn’t someone think of doing this before?

[ericwilson]

Wrap it up and deliver it to my home. Please send the bill to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

[boboh]

Can you make a video compared with rapter Shelby edition to see the difference!?

[kevinbader]

This is what I wanted to see 😍 I like it when Hennessey performance reads my mind, keep it up guys 💪

[rickloc]

AMAZING WORK GUYS!!
I wish I could afford one...
I can’t wait to see what you guys do with the
Toyota Tundra!!!

[letmefindout]

$150k no thanx i would just tune the v6 raptor, and those hp are easy to get

[sarathkumarr]

I think the guy on the stock raptor purposefully drives slowly
