The "M" Plate is hard to see, but is in the rear window on the right hand side. This was the first Raptor mule/prototype and uses a JD Fab suspension kit and aftermarket fiberglass fenders.

They get fast quickly. The 454SS is the same way, used to run into them at the tracks. Cams, exhaust and a manifold away from some serious numbers. Its surprising how fast the old bricks can get.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2008 6:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lightning strikes again?

There is a market out there for these capable off-road vehicles and nobody really offers a serious off-road truck from the factory. Sure there is FX4 and Z71, but these vehicles are just mainly packages with 4x4 and harder suspension for off-roading. Out here in california people pay outrageous prices for lifted trucks that are customized by car dealers. It would be nice to see a nice svt f-150 with a powerful V8 supercharged engine under the hood, good off-road suspension with ground clearance and actual off-roading tires. Seems like it would be very capable. Also it might increase the possibilities of bringing back the svt lightning if they throw the same engine on a single cab short bed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Luna34]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2008 8:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lightning strikes again?
