    When I went to look at my Red Line I had to walk behind the building to find it. The sales people had no idea what it was for the most part. Ion with a spoiler. I ended up getting most of my information from the service department. #fordraptor

    All you nay-sayers. What if they really have them? And what if they really know who shot JFK? And what's inside Area 51? #fordraptor

    @MyDragonLovesBruce - now with witty suffix!: Are you saying there be Raptors inside of Area 51???

    "Come on down to Intergalatic Ford, right outside of Rachel, just a short trip of 5 light-years down the E.T. Highway... we've got Focus RS's, Raptors, and at least a DOZEN new-old-stock GT-40's in Gulf livery, right here on hand for delivery now!" #fordraptor

    Ok, maybe im tripping but I know I am not. I have seen a blue ford Raptor on the far west side of El Paso Texas on 2 different occassions. I assumed they were out already. #fordraptor

    Florida has some fairly aggressive consumer protection laws. I'm not suggesting that anyone should watch the ad, go to the store to see the RS and Raptor, and then sue Elder Ford. I'm just saying it's theoretically possible. #fordraptor

    Here is a question for anyone who may know: Can you legally REGISTER this car in America? The reason I ask is that I have orders to be re-stationed in Germany, and I have a strong feeling that this car would be thoroughly available in Deutschland. My question is about registration, because, in three years, I will no longer be stationed in Germany, and will most likely be stationed back in the good 'ol US of A. I think you can see where I am going with this. I would upgrade the Speed3 for this, no problem.

    Hummm, quick but if you watch the whole vid it really seems he is driving a little on the conservitive side. The second half he was pushing it a little but ill bet theres more in that car.

    @Sixpackdan:
    I think the video is deceptive. This guy is extremely smooth which is why it makes his driving look smooth. If the driving looked more dramatic he'd probably end up posting a slower time. But you never know.

    Dear Ford,
    Why in the name of all that is holy won't you let me buy this American car in America? I have the income, I have the car and I need this car. I want you (ford) to have my money. Why don't you want my money? Please don't make me buy a Scooby-roo.

    @Maxx_Needs_A_V8: Cuz you're an American. You whine all the time. And you waver worse than a 16yr old teenage girl. You never actually do what you say (My pal GM told me about the Pontiac GTO debacle). And you're too cheap. More about quantity than quality. And you are content at plodding along at your slow floaty pace on freeways as long as you have AC/Cruise Control/Heated seats/ Heated mirrors/iPOD connectivity/SatNav/ Cup holders - Lots of them. And you could care less about shifting your own gears.


    And all (most) of roads are straight. And potholed in my home town of Dearborn. So you will then complain about ride quality.


    So please WTH do you think I would try to burn myself by bringing it over to you guys? I don't want to lose the money left and get Obama-ized along with my other 2 retarded cousins.
