Looks are just your opinion wich I would have to disagree with you, but the numbers don't lie the Lightning is just as fast as the 454's.

Re: Lightning vs. 454SS vs. Dakota R/T

I really dont like the R/Ts styling at all, but its a good truck, but my favorites are 454 and Lightning, Lightning is #1 on my list though(wonder why?). A black 91 454 does look badass though. Heres some pics of a 454ss ill try to get some of the dakota and lightning later. http://www.sportruck.com/custom/454ss.htm

My old truck looked exactly like that, only it had a 350. I think I would take the 454SS with that big block there is soooo much potential and I love the way they look...damn I miss my truck.

I'd have to go with the 454 cause ive always been a chevy guy, but i would love to have any of the trucks. They are all really closely matched and a drag race would come down to how good the driver was.

Dakota, easy choice.

The other two are too damn ugly for me to be seen in.

I guess I got the 454ss's stats a bit off. Gah, a 454ss looks so much better in black.

I'll have to go with the Lightning. Better roadholding, better qurater mile, better fuel economy, better looking.

Re: Lightning vs. 454SS vs. Dakota R/T

I like both trucks as long as the 454 is black. But I would rath have a Lightning. Their performce is almost exacty the same until you get down to the handiling. Then the Lightning fairs a little better.
