Wrong, it just takes more then a big displacement motor in a truck to impress us, that is all.

That truck only does 14s?!?!?!?! I find this a little hard to believe. Im thinking 12s at the very least w/ good driver and a good set of tires.

 

get a Lightning, don't test drive that crap

 

that's what I was thining... I mean damn for 14 seconds buy 2 neon srt-4's if you're a dodge guy, use one for a DD and upgrade the shit out of the other lol. That would be fucking pathetic if they only cut 13.5-14's. I would think they would be on track with Corvettes, at least high 12s or so

 

u gotta understand, theyre really arent very many people that can deliver that power to wheels with a good run, like some people will jus sit there and spin for days till they started to move, then there are the ones that wont rev enough and creeep off the line

 

SRT 10 is a great truck...It can be set up for drag racing (if that's what you want) Moriar .. you got PM

 

Just for the record, the internals are the same, case has dif bolt pattern. And the 4R100 is the only tranny they had to stand up to 450#TQ.

Lightnings still rule the truck world

 

My truck ran 13.4 @ 104.8 stock. Stock Lightnings have about 340-370 rwhp and about 425 rwtq. Around $1000 mods later 12.55 @ 108. Now I have 436rwhp and 560 rwtq. Let's see a $33,400 truck with $1000 worth of mods running mid 12's vs. a $52,000 500 hp truck running at it's best 14's flat @ less mph. Then the after market parts for the srt10 are crazy. One of the cheaper performance kits made for them is $42,000 and they say that will put you about 10.9 @ 127. So $52,000 for the truck and another $42,000 for the kit for a total of $94,000 just to run 10's. You put $10,000-15,000 in a Lightning you'll run 10's easy. If you take the price difference between $34,000 Lightning and $94,000 Performanced packaged SRT10, you could do a whole lot with $60,000 difference with the Lightning. A $94,000 Lightning would probably be in the 7's. LOL. BTW used Lightnings go for about $20,000-30,000. Used srt10's are still around $47,000-52,000. Yes I have seen used ones that cost the same as a new one. I guess dodge figures they have something great there. Sad part is some sucker will pay that much for a new one or even a used one. Here is a link to a SRT10 upgrade place. Check out the prices and what they say the truck could do. Which in truth is probably stretching it a little. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/...ctionReq=Where

 

tell them the truth now! Its 380hp and 450 tq at the flywheel. Very conservative rating, btw.

 

Most all stock Lightnings on a dyno have 340-370 hp at the tires and about 425 rwtq on average. But it's real easy to get them way above that. Yes Ford says they are 380/450 at the crank. I think the 03' motor I put in my truck was WIKDSVT's old motor that had 2272 miles on it and before he pulled it out his truck I think he said it dyno'd between 360-370 rwhp.

 

I see what i get for reading with my chickeneye. I missed the RWHP part...
