The video explained that they Ford GT's engine originated from the Lightning, and I didn't mean that they were exact sames, and w/ trucks being heavier, the drivetrains aren't exactly the same I'm sure either..taking about the top gear video?
and the drivetrains aren't within 10 miles of each other.. GT is a Mid engine RWD super car with a 6speed, L is a front engine RWD truck with an automatic.

Ya, if you couldn't tell, I said they weren't exactly the same, but meant to say they were similar.... Top Gear, Had the Lightning truck there, and I swore I remember hearing it was pretty much the same engine. But I forget.. Yes, I'm sure the Lightning's have an aftermarket support out, since they've been out longer, however, seems Ford is going to hell in a Hand basket, so I'll pass

Wrong.Its not that much faster than the lightning. The 2005 SRT10 runs a 13.5@106mph. A 2001 Lightning runs a 13.7@101mph. The SRT10 isn't that much faster considering how much bigger the motor is.
Isnt the srt-10 heavier? I would think the lighting would beat it stock.

WOW forgot I even started this thread been a while since I logged in see a new look even....
one thing is you don't buy a truck like the lightning, cyclone, or srt-10 to haul shit... your just a mornon if your doing that... that's like buying a truck slaming it to the ground and wanting to actually use it off road or even in the winter after a heavy snow before the plows have gone....
not sure on the stats of the 1/4 miles but according to that video link it's one fast ass truck for a factory truck on the 1/4 mile
2nd yes they are talking top speed on the truck it's like just under 160 on the srt i think the lighting is just over 150 but from what i remeber on the lighting didn't the reviewers say it was one scary ride at that speed where they say the srt is actually heald to the ground with that wing?

that speed was in the 2 door. im sure the 4door is a bit slower more wieght and more drag ect.correct that is the regular cab the quad cab I believe is like 2 mph slower it's not just the weight it's cause the quad cab is auto the regular cab is the 6sp manual

Probably the one I started this forum for it's the only one i've seen in town so far but then i'm not out driving either they are a sweet looking truck with the hoodscoop, wing, and wheels combo

IMO this look is better then the SRTNever did like that body style of the ford but I do love the new one
Althought out of that body style that is the nicest version of it(flarside with the lower valance)

i used to own a 99 red L. every single person that i gave a ride in it fell in love with it. i belong to a svt club down in the twin cities and last year they meet some srt-10ers down at a track and went heads up. not one of the srt-10 could keep up. they cannot get any traction, and not to mention its hard as fuck to shift in a pickup(manual tranny) with the long throws that they have. thats just my .02 on what i had heard.
nothing compairs to the whine the L's supercharger give you.

hey Ted how goes it? just wait till I send out my blower to have it ported...then it will really scream under boost
the Black L from pics above was traded in at Lunde's....its on the lot waiting for a new owner...its a great truck...I would but it but wife would kick my ass if I came home with another supercharged truck
