[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 13906058, member: 87570"] I agree the Raptor will be back. While its sales are a drop in the F-series bucket, its halo effect has outperformed Ford's wildest expectations. I also agree it is not uncommon for specialty vehicles to be delayed from the SOP of the standard vehicle. With SVT working feverishly on the next Mustang, I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptor is delayed a bit. However, Ford has delayed their SVT Mustang by at least a model year only ONCE in correspondence to a model change. To be fair, we've only seen two significant platform changes since SVT launched the Cobra twenty one years ago. [LIST] [*]There was a first year SN-95 Cobra. [*]There was a gap at the beginning of S197 production in 2005-06 when SVT's resources were fully dedicated to the Ford GT supercar launch. If not for Petunia (Ford GT), we might not have had to wait so long for the Condor. [*]The jury is still out on the SVT S550's official model year designation. [/LIST] I think that is completely awesome! If Ford builds that with a V8 growl, gives it enough power to outperform the bread-and-butter 3.5 Ecoboost V6, and bumps the fuel economy up a bit, I'm in! Say, a TVS 5.3 Coyote based V8? You could even share that engine with an SVT Mustang. [/QUOTE]
