well grawdaddy how do you know that i dont actually know them personally (local diesle forums do exist and i have met with them at races and for coffee.) and i’m not talking about direct reactions to the concept. i’m talking about reactions from gm people to the raptor, which are mostly positive, the only negative comments are about the fact that it is a ford. now all of them would like to see a gm version ( i have no doubts most of them have, but they were talking about it long before the concept broke cover). yes there are people who want it and post for gm to build it that don’t have the ability to buy it me included. but there are people who WILL buy it and CAN. considering the amount of money people put into their trucks for the exact same product it’s plausible.
