^ Nice layout Fun4rd. That's a nice angle with the car offset. I just wish the truck wasn't in the background.

Here are a couple pics that I took at the OKC autoshow. There wasn't anything there this year and it was a huge disappointment so I didn't end up taking very many pics.

Nissan GT-R





Ford Raptor



Chrysler Nassau



2010 GT





Corvette ZR-1

The one at the autoshow just had the 5.4 in it, not the new 6.2. I still haven't made my mind up about the grille.

Here's a little more info for everyone who hasn't seen this truck before...

After months of spy photos and a last-minute teaser video, Ford has officially unveiled its 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor. The high-performance off-road truck is powered by an updated version of the regular F-150’s 5.4-liter Triton V8 three-valve engine, delivering 320 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. Also available will be a new 6.2-liter Boss V8 engine recently developed by the automaker.


Ford says it performed extensive testing on the new powerplant, including subjecting fifty prototype engines to more than a dozen of the toughest engine tests at Ford’s dynamometer lab.

The SVT division used a 62-mile durability loop in the desert of Borrego Springs, California, to replicate the conditions of the Baja 1000 race, to further test the performance of both available engines.

While much of the focus will be on the new 6.2-liter mill, the 5.4-liter Triton also features a number of new technologies. A new open-valve fuel injection strategy improves horsepower during towing and higher rpm operations, while delivering lower emissions and better fuel economy.

Of course, engines are only part of the equation. A great deal of R&D went into the truck’s modified chassis and suspension. With 13.4 inches of usable travel in the rear suspension and 11.2 in the front, the Raptor promises to be a capable off-roader.

Raptor’s wider track and softer suspension mean it will glide over obstacles with relative ease. The suspension’s dampers were designed by Fox Racing Shox, giving the Raptor the only internal bypass shocks on a street truck. The position sensitive dampening internal bypass feature allows the shock to become significantly stiffer as it travels, preventing the truck from bottoming out.

The last component of the Raptor’s connection to the ground comes in the form of BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA/KO 315/70-17 tires. Mounted on 17-inch wheels, these 35-inch tires are designed to work on- and off-road.

High-tech features include: Trailer Sway Control, an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, an Electronic Locking Differential, Hill Descent Control, an Off-Road Mode, and an Auxiliary Switch Board to facilitate aftermarket add-ons.

The F-150 SVT Raptor will be built along side the new F-150 at Ford’s Dearborn Truck Plant at the Rouge Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

Oh BTW...

The 2010 rear is as hideous in real life as it looks in photos.

For comparison purposes...

Here are a couple of pics from the autoshow last year that were taken with my Canon S2-IS. There is a huge difference in quality between the Nikon DLSR and Canon point and shoot.

^Nice!!

That's a nice show Lucas. I'm going to have to go to one when they come around here. That Raptor is really cool looking, so is the ZR-1 and GT-R.

I'm a Ford guy 100% but I do admit that the Z06 and the ZR-1 are sick!

I had a nice close up shot of the glass hood insert, but some douche was banging on the glass with his fist and ruined the shot. Why does everyone feel the need to touch, kick, bang (edit: with fist) etc... on every car that is not privately owned?
