Shelby Ford Raptor announced

If the standard Ford SVT Raptor seems a bit weak to you, Shelby has just announced their version based on the 2013 version, and it’s a beast. Not that the standard car is a slouch – it has 410 horsepower – but this thing has a colossal, for a pickup truck, 575 horsepower.

 

That power is the result of installing a 2.9 liter supercharger mounted on the 6.2 liter V8 engine. It is distributed between all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The car is also fitted with 35-inch Goodrich All-Terrain tires and optional custom wheels, so off-roading should be even more fun.

Shelby Raptor is offered as a post title package for $17,995. It is limited to 100 units, each coming with a numbered plaque.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack

This was one badass car that put out 425 horsepower. This has great lines and looks like one very smooth car from front to rear. For an additional fee you could get the hood scoops and really stand out.

1968 OLDSMOBILE 442

Say hello to the 442 a beautiful and very fast car that is still very desired to this day. The 442 was producing around 350 horsepower with the option of the RAM air which gave t another 10 horsepower. This style Oldsmobile would continue to produce until 1971. I love the muscle cars with this body style, aggressive and fast, waiting for the next in line.

You might not think a 2012 Mustang Boss 302 could be categorized as a sleeper car but in this case it is.  Enter new Boss 302 owner Ricky Wilson who wanted to build the ultimate street car he could drive to work five days a week and then down the Texas mile on Saturday all the while looking like your average ordinary car.  Wilson’s Boss 302 packs one hell of a punch with over 1,200 rear-wheel-horsepower which was recently put down on a dyno at Justin’s Performance Center in Millersville, Maryland.

The Boss 302 was modified and tuned by JPC with various go fast goodies including a forged short block, 105lb injectors, JPC fuel system using E85 fuel and a custom 76mm Precision turobo kit.  These modifications and a JPC tune put this Boss 302 in the 1,200 horsepower range all the while utilizing the stock transmission.
