I almost got one of these but found trunk space abysmal. That and the infotainment are my only complaints. Its a bad ass ride for sure. There was a gray one here, also 4 door, for 38k last year, sold in like 2 weeks.

I decided I needed an suv as a DD, that way it can fit a mtn bike in the trunk without having to remove front wheel, also have a hitch that can carry a s1000rr in the back. :D

Good stuff man. Who are you planning to use for tuning? Hopefully you splurge on a wideband and do it right. It literally makes or breaks the cars potential.

That's great to hear. Far too many people out there who don't understand these load based/driver-torque demand ECUs. Looking forward to your progress with this one!

Really nice cars, the A8 trans stock was pretty clunky but I heard on a tune it really tightens them up. I was going to modify mine but rarely drove it so I got rid of it a few weeks ago. Loved the ride tho!

Gorgeous car and awesome color. I have been itching to get back into a hot rod caddy for a while now. Curious to see how the CT5-V Blackwing is...

I know one company incorporates an h-pipe in their ATS-V downpipes to help improve the exhaust note. Kinda feel like that's what the Raptor needs to help make it sound better.

edit: I see the ones you installed have the h too.
