They have a Bolt too. It's just not here. But they have a trade mark application for "Chevrolet Bolt" accepted, and "Bolt" under examination.

Hennessey VelociRaptor $505k! for a 6x6,
so a 4x4 should be a bargain at 450ish?

Sorry, was half asleep last night.
arronm suggested the raptor had 600hp.
chrisand sharon thought it was 450hp.
Theyre both correct, one of them costs $500,000 through Hennessey though.
