the new lightning will be faster than the V10 dodge truck.
It will probably be out for the 2006 model year.
old lightning is still agreat truck.
500hp can be done with a new pulley, exhaust and a 50 shot of nitrous.
It's just that simple.

Wether you like the "fast truck" concept or not, it would have betten better to not show up at all than to do it like Chevy did. The SSR is a bigger joke than the Silverado SS is. At least the Silverado is useful as a truck. The SSR is like a slower version of the old Prowler with a bed...I don't get it.

And, does anyone else find it odd that neither the current 360hp Lightning, the 500hp Ram, or the future 500hp Lightning uses AWD....but, the 345 hp Silverado SS does. As light in the rear as those first three seriously powerful trucks are AWD makes much more sense than it does in the current crop of AWD performance cars. But, the only truck that really doesn't need AWD for performance purposes, the SS, is also the only truck that has it. Go figure

Ive wondered that too many times, the only somewhat logical conclusion is that the 4 X 4 system can handle the extra power of the bigger engines, but to me, that doesnt make too much sense, as it shouldnt be that hard to beef up. I would love to see those trucks with 4wd. Oh ya, and for the comment earlier about the intercooler spray, you arent quite correct. part of the water used for intercooling is cooled by the air condiontioner, so it will be very cold, and according to SVT, can add up to 50 more hp for up to 30 seconds, and it takes up to 2 minutes to recharge. kind of like a reuseable 50 shot of nitrous... pretty cool idea, now lets just wait and see if it works.

well this is an old thread, but i dont care, the current lightning has 380hp not 360, the 99 model year was the one with 360hp i believe, and from what i heard both the svt lightning and cobra are coming out in 2006, this b/c svt helped work on the mustang gt and i guess ford gt, so had no time to work on lightning, now it would be funny if ford made a 600hp truck, that would whoop but.

Man...what the hec happened to those things? I remember when my buddy's dad bought a Typhoon it was in the shop all the time. I was only about 14 years old at the time, but I'd sure be interested to know what the deal was. Did those things really run a low 13 off the showroom floor. Damn!

Boostedpimp · 01-25-2004, 12:04 AM

well the new dodge srt10 looks sweet and i love the idea of the viper motor sitting in there thats nuts but it weighs 5150 pounds without driver and cost $46,430 new. Apparently what i've been told is that in the Feb issue of Sport Truck mag they tested the srt-10 ram at 13.12@108mph in the quarter.

yah with adverage driver they ran mid 13s off the showroom floor all day long. There awd turbocharged 4.3 liters. The syclone only ways 35xx pounds. They were under rated by gm on there factory out put of horse power and torque so the corvette of that year didn't look weak

I forget who but someone dyno tested there stock typhoon and got some where around 370hp and 406 or so of tq.

there are plenty of sytys around just that we stick within our closely nitted forum lol www.syty.net

Hey dumbass! Why talk s**t on the lightning's take a look at you're piece of crap!

RedLightning · 03-21-2004, 03:07 PM

the reason why i like sport trucks is because, of more utility then a 2 person sports car, and a fair mount of performance, tha_new_guy must not like the truck part of the equation. and this is an old thread.

Next time you bring up a dead thread, make sure you pay attention.

Take a look at the small print on his post, and look up the definition of sarcasm, and humor, k?
