I just think that the SRT was more Badass. as you said, it was heavier. And it was end game for the Sport truck fad, piss poor sales for the Dodge. I think Dodge had something to do with that, as well as the timing. Ford were planning on a another Lightning with some type of Supercharger tech that kept it cool, forgot it's name. But then they shelved it. Just like they shelved their V10, they had a working prototype that they put in a Mustang, then I believe they put it in the Shelby GR1 show car. Ford had a lot shit that they didn't produce because the beancounters said no. Like the Ford GT90. You could tow with the Ford, not the Dodge. Plus now, the Dodge has more cache, because of the Viper engine. I've only seen a few of the SRT's, a whole lot more of the Ford's. Don't get me wrong, I liked it.The SRT Ram is still the fastest truck sold in America

Agree with most of this.. It just always blew my mind that an overhyped and overpriced tank cranking 500hp continues to get it's ass handed to it by a supercharged 5.4l with exactly one modification. Both are nice trucks tho but coming from sports cars the Lightning is the only sport truck I would ever buy.

A guy in Montgomery Co, MD at my apt complex had a black one (Ford). He would spank porsche Carreras with his, never got around to asking him exactly the mods he had, but it was badass.

A doctor's two teenage kids take their fathers car to be suped up to 800 HP.
Notice that don't really show a dyno sheet. And that the doctor only speculates what the 0-60 time is.

pick up trucks should be 4wheel drive and have large tires.
if you want a fast car....buy a fast car
2 wheel drive pick ups that are fast remind me of el caminos.

I have seen alot of bmw with that power. Any 2wd car with that much power would loose traction in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear on street tires.

Just like all Brits have horrible teeth, big ears and produce the ugliest (most pasty) women in the world ::) Btw, Clarkson owns a ford GT (which uses the same engine block that's found in the lightning). Clarkson went as far as calling the GT the best supercar in the world (at the time he purchased it). He spends a ton of time in California. He's got a complex.

i have a buddy that has a chevy 2500 OR 3500 HD with the duramax. that thing suprised the shit out of me at the track. it has dynoed at over 900hp and can smoke all 4 of his 56-58 inch mud tires on any surface he chooses.

I gave up racing, I ride my bike,.I got a really nice Street bike.
But I have an older Vette Roadster, that I am thinking of building up..we will see.
As far as Trucks go I am not a fan of Fords.I have a friend of mine that has a Chevy SSR that will beat ANY FORD he comes across.
He has got a supercharger, and its puts out a ton of horsepower.I just remember when he told me, I was taken back.
This truck will run mid 10's in the quarter mile. When he hits the gas the tires just spin, the truck wont even grab unless he has slicks on.
He said on the street he has to roll off of the line, because if he just hits the gas, the tires will just spin and he wont go anywhere.
I went for a ride in this truck .....man.You need a dam Neck brace, because when he hits the peddle it whips your head back.
This isn't a pic of his truck, but it is a pic of an SSR, because most people don't even know what an SSR IS, LOL

as my buddy says 'it's too fast and i'm too old' haha. i never went fast on a street bike. i used to race motocross, and i always ride softtails. i only bought the R1 cause my woman had a crotch rocket. i'd lose my license if i started pushing the yamaha. SQUID - super quick until i die.

i got my first bike when i was 6 years old. my dad got me a suzuki gsxr 750 for my 11th bday. i am more at home on a bike than in a car.
i got my 2 hayabusa's ones is a full blown 550 hp turbo bike that is still street legal ;D and the other just has heads, cams, 3mm bore(1397cc) and a 30 shot of nitrous.
i also have a 2008 cbr1000, a 2001 929rr(favorite), and my frankenbike....which is just a bunch of random ass parts slapped on to a xx blackbird frame. i honestly dont even know what engine is in it ;D
i buy and sale a lot of bikes. but the busa's, and the 929 are now permanent.

;D ;D.Sooo, you DO think we sleep with our sisters?
Hey, Bench, about that E39 M5, I don't think it has 800 either. Plus the Double Vanos on that engine was troublesome. I just can't stand these tuners, "oh yeah, we'll putt '800' hp in your car, yet you only have 275 width tires (if that)"
I think they are some of the biggest scammers right now, people just want bragging rights.
But, i have a question. I have a Lexus IS300, and I know you are familiar with that engine. I want to keep the engine stock, so I want to go with a Vortec Supercharger. It will take it up to 305 hp and 272 lb feet of torque. Do you know of any turbo systems that don't stress the engine to a degree in which I have to replace the internals? Or do you know of any other supercharger kits?

Oh please magnus, my sons tricycle has at least 3000RWHP. My ultra rare 1 of 2 built Hemi Super Birds was hand built by dandy Dick Landy himself and the old ramcharger gang from detroit selected never before seen or heard of parts to put it together. It makes around 6000HP and carries the front tires all the way through the traps at around 550MPH with a .7ET in the quarter mile. If john force ever saw this thing he would retire in a heart beat or collapse of heart failure! And thats just one of my cars

No one cares that you spent $4k in suspension upgrades. When was the last time you pulled up to a stop light with a 12 turn course in front of you? NEVER.
Dick swinging in the street rolls in straight lines or on the highway.. either get some power or resign yourself to having the turd that it is and shut your mouth.

i live in texas...we dont have canyons to carve. long straight away racing is the game around here. the only track i even take my bikes to is a local 1/8 mile, houston raceway 1/4, and the texas mile in goliad.
i used to do a lot of road racing, and scca with my dad, but i dont even do that anymore.

kinda.. this doesn't apply as much to bikes as much since bikes can have both gobs of power and superior handling where as there is usually a big trade off with cars. it just reminded me of what i usually hear when you said that.

Vipers are fun cars. Mine:
Just sold this car and have another TT viper being built. Bring on the bikes ;). I drive this car all the time. That run was on real street tires, not a radial. Put about 4500 miles on the car this year. Ran 17lbs of boost on that run, can go to 32.
