    listen to how slow the transmission responds to the paddle shifter. Mainly on the upshift..

    I know, Most of the first drives had the same response you did. On the other hand it isn't a GT350 so I am not completely unimpressed, for the most part I like how long it holds lower gears till its screaming for a shift. don't know how that will effect longevity of the powertrain though....

    A few thoughts here:
    1, Can't tell what Mode the truck is in which may have to do with some of the shift points. Additionally this isn't a dual clutch manual trans with electric shifting. I did expect quicker shifts based on the hype but until i get behind the wheel this is a vague info to me.

    2A. We're getting to a point of saturation of crap now online with the truck being released. So many goomers and morons with cell phone video camera's running video's as if they're the first to get their hands on the truck.

    2B, Raj God bless him! Can be a part of a team that builds THE Raptor and doesn't really belong in front of a camera, sorry!!! Followed up by the amazement of how many people think they can and should get in front of a camera to give a review. Most regurgitate the same info that's been known of months if not almost a year already. Half get the info wrong. FUCK!!!!! Someone please stop the insanity!!!!!
