Would you really want 500 horses out of a truck?? I mean this new truck fad is kinda silly. How fast can you go (safely) in a truck?? SCREW FAST TRUCKS!!
This comin from the guy who got beat merging onto the freeway by the Harley Davidson Edition F-150.....who knew they were s'charged?!? Damn right I'm bitter....

140mph lol. I've driven a Lightning a lot and I must say the car has some big balls for a truck. It handles decent, brakes decent, and goes like a bat outta hell with them big tires when you stomp on it. It feels pretty safe and manueverable. This is not just a F-150 with a new engine, they have really done some modifications to other aspects and I love driving it.
I have no idea about the others

Re: svt lightning!
The 02 lightning can be made fast, even though they are already pretty quick. Actually they don't even handle like a truck, they have a low stance and sport suspension which makes them handle more like a performance car. I can't remember off hand, but there was an article I read where they got the Lightning into the mid 13's, and I think there was one in the 12's. This of course was on slicks, different s/c pulley, removed tailgate, and a few other minor things.

I've lined up against a few lightnings. They do get up and go, but I'd rather have a truck for hauling then hauling ass.

I'd take the SRT-10 Ram of any of the sport trucks, though I would get a Hemi as a serious truck for my work horse.

Nah, I would still rather have the Hemi. I can't justify the extra cost of the diesel. I just would tow enough to balance it out. However; if you're doing a lot of towing then by all means get the diesel.

I've beaten 2 Lightnings thus far. They take off well, but my LS1 tends to reel them in. Still, they look awesome. Ford has got Chevy's daddy with that truck. The SS truck sucks IMO.

Yeah, as far as sport trucks go the SS is by far the weakest.
