The Last two references are thought Provoking.


Raptor can refer to:
In science:In the South African military:
  • Raptor weapon, a series of South African Air Force precision guided glide weapons.
In the US military:
  • VMMT-204, the MV-22 Osprey training squadron of the United States Marine Corps known by the nickname "The Raptors"
  • F-22 Raptor, a United States Air Force stealth fighter airplane
In technology:In sports and entertainment:In fiction:[edit] See also
  • Raptus (the Latin word for "seizure"), and the many related concepts in crime, medicine, and religion
  • Raptio, the abduction of women for marriage or sexual slavery

Judging by the rear badging I think it's named after the dinosaur, Velociraptor.

To answer your question...NO. Is the GT500 available on X-Plan? Then this won't be either. Only if they start to collect so badly on dealers lots, would Ford offer it under a plan deal. Heck, employees can't even buy a GT500 under A/Z-Plan.

A serious possibility...but, even still I doubt it would fall under the X Plan.

I don't want to go overboard, but this may in fact be the Lord of all Pickups. ALL.

It would be my asumption that these would be the Raptors he saw were the ones being used to give press rides, given his location and all.

Most likely. Ford probably took them to the local dealers just to get the word out and see what people are saying.
