Your missing the whole point.... With less than 500 bucks I can beat a srt-10 any day of the week with a stock L.. and 500 cash. How mutch is the Viper truck 49,000 New and the L is 31,000. Think about it...

I'm sorry to hear that times have been tough and you couldn't afford more than $500 in mods
Oh, and you might not have noticed but you can't buy a new Lightning any more

You can also get a new RAM SRT-10 for $37-$41K if you are willing to get an 04, 05 vs a new 06. New 06's are still in the low 40's.
His $500 went a long way considering it would be closer to $2k for those mods.
This topic is old as hell and should be retired.

Hey Quick, doesn't CamminSVT remind you of all the other L guys on the SRT10forums. They all give us the same BS that they are either stock or have minor mods. But they all have a list of **** done.

I couldn't afford??? Hell man I have over 58,800 In my 2003 Zo6.... Its a 10sec 1/4 car just with a 348cid motor and no power-adder. I made it a point to have a 348cid Zo6 that will spank about any Viper on motor! So... You and all you buddy's can whine that a car with a 150 LESS CID Spanked your ***![sm=owned.gif]

You want a cookie? You got a 3800lb car that ran a 7.81 with DOT tires... What do you think this truck would run with a 2400rpm stall and some slicks.. This is a 4900lb truck with stock tires on it your picking on... And Hell you would get smoked with a Dragradial, This truck traps 108-109 with a pig rich tune..[sm=owned.gif]
Would you like to run 3000lb Zo6??[sm=laughat.gif][sm=pcwhack.gif]

RE: The NEW lightning vs the SRT-10
That concept has been out for years. There is a reason is looks like the older F150s, it is because it has been around taht long! It will never come out looking like that, it will be based on the new F150, or future F150 if it is years down the road.
I give Ford a little credit here. They know the Lightning will not benefit them financially so they shelved it for a while. It will not sell a lot of units, hense will not make them money. They are focusing on getting other cars done and out (the new F150, 500, Mustang, Focus). Good thing they are doing that since they keep loosing money. They have to turn it around to be able to make the "fun" stuff. Their SVT division has not done anything compared to the SRT division or even GM with the GTO ad new Vette. The new Mustang is now in its second year, I have yet to see SVT put out a Cobra or GT 350/500 edition I keep hearing about. Why, the reson listed above, they are in financial trouble and what gets cut? The fun stuff. DC is in the best financial shape of the big three, which is why they can keep advancing the SRT line.
Why did Dodge not enhance the Hemi and go direct to the V10? Dodge is not into surpercharging their engines. They are the old school. Bigger is better. I agree. You do not see drag cars or NASCAR using small blocks with a bunch of bolt ons.....
