Correct, I was talking about the guy referenced in post #1 of this thread. He needs to go play with some Fords, or better yet, Toys.

The SRT stock for stock (RC) will take a Lightning in the 1/4. However the lightning has easy, cheap and fairly significant add on potential while any significant add on to the SRT is not cheap. The lighnings V8 is also better suited to mod from the factory, where as the 03-06 Viper motors are a little soft on the inside.

Just what i've been thinking. Not 100%. I've seen SRTs for the same price my truck was, but of course they're older and have more miles.
lol and your still modding yours lol man im in college now and couldnt imagine what it would be like if i didnt have my truck lol

lol...I got you now.......this man knows what he is talking about...sounds like you modded a 10 before??? any big upgrade requires internal work like rods and so forth....also right about a lightning vs 10 stock...10 takes it...now it may give the QC a great run!! is that a WS6 pontiac? i love those bad boys!

worlds "FASTEST" production truck. It set a top speed record, not a 1/4 mile time. The SRT is a heavy truck compared to the lightning. Car and Driver magazine had an article awhile back, they had the Lightning running 5.2 0-60 times. I'd take a SRt over a lightning any day, just going off what numbers i have read.
