Dodge may have a new competitor for the SVT Lightning.

Let's see if it costs as much as a Viper...

wow a 13 sec truck.

that's not bad at all.

is chevy going to put out a truck with corvette engine in it?

 

[Skawttey]

It still looks like a Kenworth.

It's a dodge. It'll fall apart before it makes it to the 1/4 mile.

""0-60 mph 5.0 sec """

Um 500HP and it only does a 5.0? Hell the L does 5.2 w/ 380. If it had 500hp??? Low mid 4's.

Something doesnt sound right...but it is a dodge after all

 

[vi edit]

Too bad the engine alone is 2/3 the cost of a lightning.

I agree 100% doesn't look like a sport truck at all

But for starters lets get down to real life... it's unit count will be 500 for the year, while that was a production number back in 1968 times have changed, it's an IMAGE truck ONLY. They will not be seen at any real tracks for atleast 3 years if it even stays on the building block that long. Dodge needs to get off this Image crap and make a REAL model, get that Dakota R/T going with some Aluminum heads and a S/C on there or something.

The Silverado SS will have the LQ9 in it (Escalade Motor) it will be an Ex-cab with AWD and Whipple Ati and Vortech all have S/C's to go ontop good for over 550lbs of TQ and at a Resonable price with actuall production numbers as the lightning also has

Not bad for Dodge, but still doesn't look as cool as the Ford IMO. 500 lbs of torque? WOW

 

[bunker]

That front end does not belong on a sport truck.

At least the lightning is aerodynamic.

Umm, that's the whole point...duh Kenworths were the design inspiration for the original '94 Ram.

I like the "big rig" look of the current and old Rams. I love the look of the current Ram crew cab with Sport package, body colored grill and 20" chromed rims. Definitely the best looking pickup EVER.

At least the lightning is aerodynamic.

Oh give me a break. Truck = brick...PERIOD.

 

[Rainsford]

But can it actually race on a track with turns?

 

[EvilYoda]

Whatever I think about the trucks don't matter.........I think those rims were pretty hot, nice and fat, black on black...

And no, my taste in women is nothing like that.
