Dodge 5.7 vs. Ford 5.4
You know SVT, I could careless, two of my neighbors have Lightnings (only is a 2001 that is souped up w/ over 450 horsepower, the other one is a stock 2004) and they don't impress me one bit. I rathier drive our 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. All I have to do is throw on a VORTEC Supercharger on the 6.0L and damn, she will be cranking out more ponies and torque and a Lightning. So <IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0">!</P>

SVT, are you serious? The SRT Ram beat the Lightning BY 4 thenths to 60, 7 tenths in the 1/4 Mile, and 7 MPH in the 1/4 Mile. They stuck 650lbs of weight in the bed of the SRT, and though it lost by two tenths to 60, it came back and beat the Lightning by 1 MPH and 2 tenths in the 1/4 Mile. By the way, it already outweighs the Lightning by 480lbs. Also, drag racing is only one kind of race, in a track race, the SRT would murder it, "This truck [Ram SRT-10] turns, corners, and handles more like a sports car than a truck." - TT </P>

Dodge 5.7 vs. Ford 5.4
Blah Blah Blah, Who has driven a chev, a ford, and a
dodge with the best performance engines??? I
respect the 5.3 Chev Engine, f-150's are ok too, but
having driven all 3, and not just because I'm a Mopar
guy, the hemi is more impressive. You can throw
out all the 0-60, quarter mile stats, or whatever, if
you're giving stats, give them for all 3. My trusty ol'
Butt-Dyno tells me the Hemi pulls harder and all
around is the best runner. I have not driven an 04 F-
150 yet but I hopefully will so I can't be 100% sure.
but a 99 5.4 don't match up to the other 2. Yes I
know functionality is a big thing too, but I don't have a
4wd and I don't tow much, so I am gonna be more
performance speed oriented. I'm into trucks
because cars are not as fun, this is the only way to
get a v-8 Rear Drive that is fun and affordable. So
lets quit bickering and roll on with our trucks, ok? By
the way my friends 4.3L Extreme kicks the crap out of
me<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley18.gif border="0">but I just can't cram myself into mini's
anymore, lol.

First of all the Hemi is not a car motor.... As a matter of fact the Hemi in the truck is rated at more HP than the Hemi they put into the cars. Any car guy knows that engine blocks and internals are the same along all base engine platforms. Then different heads, intakes, injection, ect caters to the application.
2nd, it is not Dodge's performace truck, that is the SRT-10. Would you like to compare performance truck to performance truck?
Fords performance truck is the lightning, the fact that the Hemi (non-performance truck) is comparable to the lightning is rather embarrasing for Ford.

Oh, and since you are talking muscle car era Hemi.... That was an entirely different motor. The only thing shared here is the hemispherical shape of the pistons. So based on that, your Ford "truck" motor is the same as the SB Ford I had in my 68 Mustang! Some people....

RE: Dodge 5.7 vs. Ford 5.4
first off, dodge > ford we'll get that out of the way early
next, learn to compare vehicles in the same class, the lightning has a power adder, its fords fastest truck its not in the same class as a hemi ram
and finally, if you wanna start an argument dont dig up an old thread, it just makes you look stupid
