Perhaps those who want a Shelby Raptor will want to do both. Perhaps it's a mixed message that the Shelby Raptor has enough power for a prerunner setup but a rock-crawling suspension (slow-speed moves, muscle-puckering tension).
But wait! The Xtreme Options package will add a full smuggler's run worth of off-road goodies: 35-inch BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires on Shelby wheels ($3,399) King shocks and springs with nitrogen-charged remote reservoir and 25 percent more wheel travel, set up for "hardcore rock crawling," according to the brochure ($6,499) sinister black bumpers ($1,999 each) a bag of Cool Ranch Locos Tacos Doritos, possibly ($1.99) and high-strength upper ($1,499) and lower ($2,499) control arms to increase wheel travel even more. Get the supercharger, the intercooler, the Shelby Stinger exhaust, the Katzkin leather interior and the de rigueur numbered plaque, and it's just $17,995 over the cost of a Ford Raptor. "Yeah, that fixes what I always thought the Raptor needed," said a colleague. The Shelby Raptor's 6.2-liter V8 with its Whipple chrome-plated, twin-screw supercharger produces 575 hp, which is 164 more than a standard Ford Raptor, 210 more than a Ford F-150 with the V6 Ecoboost engine, 435 more than my Miata, and 574 more than an actual horse. What do you do with a truck that, loaded with every single option Shelby will throw on there, comes in at $86,623? You take a deep breath and analyze the spec sheet. presumably sideways, doing a burnout down my street as long as the LAX runways they drove past. The other day some nice people from Shelby arrived at my doorstep with a 2013 Shelby Raptor.
