Watch Out Lightning !
Someone please post a picture for me, it is getting to late to go look for one tonight.
Looks like Ford has their work cut out for them before they release the next Lightning ! :o :o
Dodge Debuts 150-mph Pickup
"The 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 is built for speed," claims a company press release. How fast? The self-proclaimed "baddest truck on the block" has a top speed of 150-mph and the biggest engine in a performance pickup, Dodge boasts.
For starters, the truck uses an 8.3-liter Viper V-10 displacing 505 cubic inches and producing 500 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. It's backed by a six-speed manual transmission.
It also has a modified rack-and-pinion steering and a custom tuned suspension that drops the truck one inch at the front and two inches at the rear. New front and rear strut assemblies and a rear sway bar were added to handle the increased cornering loads as well as Bilstein shock absorbers, performance-tuned springs and 22- inch custom "Viper-style" wheels and 305/40 Pirelli Scorpion tires.
The SRT-10's standard ABS-equipped brakes are fitted with new 15-inch rotors on the front brakes. Rear brakes are modified Ram Heavy Duty 14-inch rotors. Front and rear brakes feature unique red calipers and a new front fascia has brake ducts to facilitate extra cooling.

Hey Ford Mna hopefully they have a running Lightning this year when I go to the SVT thing with Ford this year, Last year I went to Phoenix and got to drive a few cars(RSX sucked). As soon as I find out when and where it is I will tell you guys what they'll have.

I remember SVT head boss Coletti Stating that the other guys were finally catching up and offering a competitor for the lightning, but SVT was committed to staying on top of the sport truck market. I'm sure the new Dodge truck has alot to do with the rumours of a 500hp lightning coming next year.
