Which one would go a lot faster if I modified it, the Ford Lightning or the Chevrolet Silverado SS?

[Bruce Levinson]

That's going to depend on the specific mods and whether you're referring to top speed or acceleration. As always, observe all traffic laws, drive safely, wear a seat belt and have fun.

Have you looked into dodge?

Srt 10

According to the specs the lightning and srt-10 are pretty close acc and top speed. I think that the srt-10 would win personally. I have raced a few lightnings with my indy and was not impressed with them, not much fight.

SRT-10 now has the world speed record for a Pick up truck, took the record from the Lightning 2 months ago. Although the SRT-10 is $20k more expensive than the Lighting and only took the record by 7mph to the Lightning. In a race they will be pretty evenly matched.

Standing qtr they are both reasonably evenly matched at around the mid 13's time up the strip.

The SRT-10 has more power and more torque than the Lightning (500/500 compared to 380/450) but for an extra $20k its not impressive speed wise, accleration is within .3secs of the Lightning 0-60 and maybe half a sec on the qtr.

If you want to put $5k or so into a Lightning you'll be getting the low 12's or high 11's on the qtr and still have a reliable daily driver.

Whats your ride??
A stock L will beat pretty much everything and held the world speed record for a pick-up for 5 years

Unfortunately, the SS is all wheel drive and an extended cab, giving it a ton more weight then the Lightning and the SRT-10. tsk tsk to GM
