This here is a truck that can run door handle to door handle with a BMW M3. Can you say, &quot;Yuppie-scum beware&quot;?

2001 BMW M3

<< The result of all this is a staggering 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds.* >>

Nuff' Said

;)

The above quote is for a FULL SIZE TRUCK!! And yes that's STOCK!!

Infact it's my new Sig :)

<< the lightning only does a 5.8s 0-60mph stock. >>



perhaps the older Lightnings.. but the new ones run quite a bit quicker from what I understand.


Man I wish GM would make the Silverado SS. It would be nice for ford to have some competition in that particular niche market. Sure, the upcoming SSR with the LS1 is a &quot;truck&quot; thats fast as hell, but its also ugly. :| Would love to see a Silverado SS line up with an SVT Lightning. ;) competition would be great for both Ford and GM lovers, the companies would be &quot;forced&quot; to make the trucks better and better. (read: FASTER ;))

I wish they made a unified player that plays quicktime/mpeg/avi/dvd(.vob)/real/divx/asf
having like 3-5 different programs for each format is such a bummer! I WOULD like to keep my system as simple as possible. So I guess it's my loss that I refuse to install real or quicktime. total bummer for some of those theatrical trailers too. Hopefully, they will make a stardard player by next year, all these new formats are getting so dam annoying.

anyway, talking about japanese car modifications... rice cakes :).... those guys are insane! hell, they could supp up a VW beatle to 700HP no problem. I'll just stick with cars UNDER 200hp, for insurance purposes :)

OK I really love the sound of a rumbling V8 being let lose, but that Skyline sounds awesome. To me it just sounds like a rabid animal let free with so much anger...and boy does it move. 9 sec 1/4 is damn frigging fast.

svtpower Unlike the Lighting the BMW M3 isn't meant only as a drag car. Put an M3 vs. a Lighting around a track and suddenly you'll see that the Lighting would better have been suited to carrying around belt sanders and sacs of cement :p

dont judge a cars acceleration on only 0-60. Quater mile is a much better test. Valhalla, that car hit 8.73 sec quater mile. That is pretty good, for any car.

For a whole lot less money £32,200 can buy you a Caterham 7 R500 which goes 0-60 in 3.6 sec and a 1/4 mile in 8.8 seconds.
