2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor vs Chevy Silverado ZR2

The SEMA Show is upon us and the F-150 Raptor stole the spotlight last year and left Chevy in the dark. This year Chevy wanted a piece of Raptor and decided to take the Silverado into an off road level.

The F-150 Raptor recently received the new 6.2-liter V8 engine that pumps out 411 hp and 434 lb-ft of torque. At the same time the Raptor went into a new special edition segment with another Raptor dubbed the FR Raptor XT. The XT will be limited to a run of 50 units and is an extreme truck; it's not street legal and will sticker at $99,950. So you can see the Ford is pushing for the spotlight once again.

Not to be outdone GM decided to bring a concept to the SEMA Show with the Chevy Silverado ZR2. The ZR2 has a supercharged 6.2L LSA V-8 under the hood creating a whopping 550hp. Thanks to the cavernous space below the Silverado's hood, the LSA and its six-speed automatic transmission dropped right in with little effort and Chevrolet easily fitted a custom stainless steel exhaust system. Being that it's only a concept no price is obviously given.

So which would you take....the Raptor or ZR2???

I would take the RAPTOR. The motor is more advanced. And I am sure there is more to come. The chevy's motor was just something they dropped in to make headlines. Big deal! RAPTOR is no show truck, the chevy is.
