WOW! WHat a beautiful piece of machinery. I heard rumors that they'd be coming out with atleast 500hp cuz of the Dodge pickup that's coming out with the Viper engine in it. And I actually don't think it will quite cost 40K, I heard they want to keep it well under Dodge's price of around 45-50 (not positive though).

Yes. Although they've always had lower towing capacity because of their suspension.

Well that makes sense then... I just know of a couple of guys that use them for towing their cars to the track. Oh well.... guess I'll just have to "settle" for a 2005 Cobra...

A guy I work with owns a Lighting and said at the last SVOA meeting he went to they were talking about how SVT is trying to put a supercharged V-10 in the lightning. Isn't the only V-10 Ford make disel?
