first production kit but tony beat me to the punch......... come to think of it tony has beat everyone to the punch
oke:
as for the raptor idea, beautiful truck but i have no idea what the towing would be on it and i traded in my 07 f150 for the 250 for the towing capabilities. if i get another truck it would just be the mirror image, damn that thing was nice, ridiculously nice!

although i absolutely LOVE the color combo of your current car, i say get the 2011. not only does it have the aluminum block, but it also has the electric power steering(more weight reduction/frees up more engine power) which i'm not sure is compatible with the older models, and it also has a stiffer chassis on top of that. that's not even mentioning the much better interior. i'm not sure what you think about the looks, but i think ford made the '10s/'11s much more sleek and aggressive looking. the '11 also has improved aerodynamics as well(every little bit helps when your running the mile!).
i think the ultimate car would be a TT '11 painted to match your current car. that thing would be evil!!!
that really sucks about your truck though. the way that thing looks, i wouldn't want them to try to fix it. i doubt it would ever drive the same again.

I say keep your car!!!!! I like the 07-09 body style better, although the 10-11's are growing on me.
Keep the 08 and get another Super Duty!!! You will regret it if you dont replace your truck!

no problem, LOL. i gotta say, that would possibly the sickest GT500 in existance, a twin turbo satin black(a must!) on grabber orange 2011 with those wheels!
sounds like we need a photochop, i am no good at this though so do you know anyone?
OMG!
damn you ry, damn you!
thanks for the chop, it looks really good:beer: i had given thought to the paint scheme if it was to be redone and the color on my coupe crossed my mind as well. someone on another forum did a chop for me, let me see if i can find it.

this was when the 2010 was just being dropped, i always thought ford screwed up by getting rid of the legend lime when the shelby came out. if i get a new car and paint it then these two colors will be what torment me..lol.. either way is win but damn i am partial to this gabber orange now.
love that green, but not as much as i love that orange, lol. and that grabber orange 'chop is tits!
i woke up to three emails all letting me know the truck is a total loss. they are paying off the truck and cutting me a check for just under 6k, i am losing out on 1500 or so for the depreciation of 2000 miles but at this point i am just glad they are not trying to fix it.
now it is decision time on what i am going to do, i do need the truck for the same towing purpose but now i have the seed planted in my head for the new gt500:bash: stay tuned!
distoro above is my brother, the unfortunate driver and has felt like absolute shit over this so this is why he is relieved. i was initially pissed but in the end the truck can be replaced, i am rewarding him by taking him to dubai next month, the jury is out on if he will returnoke:
