It's been confirmed they're running around michigan in Raptor Testmules utilizing the new 6.2L Boss engine rumored to have 420/5XX and possible S/C version producing 5xx/6xx

The GT500 is still too powerful and waaaaay too heavy for the suspension they gave it. Not the solid axle's fault, either.. My car could probably run circles around a GT500, handling-wise.

They shouldn't have given it an iron engine block. Gt500 is serrrriously front-heavy.. Watch a braking test for it.. the car literally stands on its nose... Like.... a lot..
