Who cares what the SRT-10(still not production) might do to the Lighning, that's not going to stop them from tearing the a$$ out of Dakotas like they always have. The new twin screw supercharger with three valve heads in the next Lighning will take care of the SRT-10. So the SRT-10 may enjoy 4 to 6 months of dominance and thats it!

the bottom line is, what can be done to a F150, can be done to a dakota. unfortunatly dodge dosent want to do it, but that dosent mean the owners cant.
when the dakota gets the hemi, what excuse will you have then?? 353 hp out of a NA engine compaired to 380 out of a blown/intercooled engine. lmao!! what happends when someone straps a superchager to the hemi. ;-)

F150 please... Thats like saying... "Well ill bet in the year 3000 ford will have a car that has 1 billion horse power!!"
If you dont have it now (and you never did at all) dont bother opening the flap.
We buy trucks, not superchargers... come back to me when the F150 is pulling over 350 horse without a blower or a second cam like the 00' Cobra R had.

you know what,the guy that is trying his hardest to put the dakotas down,personaly i think is a f*#*king loser. i mean i know the lightings are fast for a truck that you can have ordered like that but he puts it out like there the fastest thing on the road and there not.i mean think about guys there f#*king huge, and our dakotas are small, there fords, and were dodges i mean think about it guys all we have to do to tear ones a$$ up is put a few mods on ours.i mean the people that made the lightings where saying hey to build a truck that will take chevy and dodge we need to put a supercharger on it just to make it faster that the others that just tells you how much fords suck a$$
ps:let me put some mods on my 4.7 dakota and watch me pank that fords a$$

how much does the lightning cost? 30-40 thousand, for that price it better be fast this guy shouldn't complain. You dodge guys are lucky we dont have a muscle truck, we have he s-10"extreme" a s-10 with a body kit, and the silverado ss another joke. also your comparing apples to oranges. the competition for the Dak are the ranger and tacoma and s-10. not to mention cost, im betting a dakota on the bottle would make short work of a lighting

I'v heard they're supposed to be working on an LT1 S-10(those will be fun to try to keep up with). Not sure if the rumors are true about it though. All I can say is that will be like the old days when the Syclone was around.

All of you are retards..first off ANY truck witha factory supercharger wont be as fast as a truck w/ an aftermarket supercharger such as kenny belle or whipple charger. The boost isnt there in a stock truck because TONS of boost like a kenny belle isnt good for the motor. Believe it or not--engineers who make these dodges/fords are trying to make them last longer-HAH- o btw if you want a real truck buy a chevy...my friends 3 year old dodge's doors rusted out already..good quality

Personally, I think that if you are willing to be raped out 40 g's for a POS ford than by all means go ahead and blow your cash. But for the same amount of money you could hook an R/T up to the point of no return. Pound for Pound the R/T is the baddest ass truck on the road. And anyone who thinks other wise needs to stay the hell off this forum. Can I get an AMEN!!!

OK-get this...
In a past issue of Hot Rod, a good friend of mine ran his 93 Lightning in a shootout vs two other Lightnings. His truck, all stock sheet metal and bumper, reworked Windsor, race exhaust and all the toys including a Vortech, turned a best in the 12's. With a set-up equivalent to that (stroker small-block, s/charger, da-da-da,) I've seen runs by Daks make it into the 11's. In my naturally aspirated Dak, i've handed quite a few L-bricks their doors (old and new,) and still funnier yet, when they meet me at shows they size me up and find out I have NO blower, no programmer chip, no spray. Just a 318....
(And they paid all that money.)
Sometime let me tell you the story about my Lemon Law adventure with Ford. Two of them.
And yes, Nood1z, you have your Amen.

Amen to that brother... put a Dakota up against it's own size... no one in its class compares... Chevy, Ford, whatever... doesn't matter... they'd all be spanked but a R/T... You see Ford, Chevy or any others dropping V-8's in there stuff? Nope, let them guys go out and buy their 40 grand lightnings, this is all about personalization, and customization... all of us are different, all of us have different views on different products, guess what... all those guys with the Lightnings... ALL THE SAME!!! they can't say, well yah I put that on there.. WE CAN!! Look at some of our posts.. I don't think you find many trucks that are customized the same.. now do ya? I think that says enough about that!! Keep on rolling boys...

blkquad01, that is one of the things I love about these trucks.
You have your street trucks, your auto-x trucks, drag trucks, 4x4s, rockcrawlers, boggers, slammed trucks, lifted trucks, towing trucks, family vehicles, three kinds of cabs, several engines. You want to start with a performance truck, you have an auto or a stick. It's awesome. Not to mention the several types of trims, gearing, and packages to start with.

No doubt the 5.2's will pull it off as well. My 99' with only an exhaust (Flowmaster 50) made short work of 2 RT's. Granted, I have a standard cab and the RT's were extended cab. Don't get me wrong, I love the RT's, and they handle better than mine, but I can't tow my boat with one!

Brandon why dont you try puting a blower on a plain old F-150 with a 5.4 and see what kind of results you get. Remember the engines are specially configured from the factory to handle the blower thats why the Lightening is much more efficient than just throwing a blower on a plain old 5.9.
Take a look at the GNX back in 87... Put a T4 garret turbo on a plain old 87 buick regal and see if it will run 13.5 in the quarter mile.
Ill bet you didnt even add an Intercooler, Belts, or anything like that to the 5.9 either did you?
