What's faster?

my book of world records says thats the fastest production truck wit a speed of 154mph

Neither have a transfer case so they both suck

as a chrysler employee we have been told that the srt-10 ram is the fastest production ever made  ;D

Out of the box, I would say the SRT-10 is faster, but with minor tuning to the Lightning, I think it'll smoke the SRT-10.

SRT-10
500 horsepower
525 lb-ft of torque
8.3-liter V10 Viper engine
Six-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter
22-inch polished-aluminum wheels
Dual exhaust

F-150 SVT Lighting
360 horsepower
440 ft-lbs
5.4L Triton V8
four speed automatic transmission with overdrive
5-spoke 18" rims
Supercharger     8.0 psi pressure

Lightnings are slow.

I will pull both of them backwards with the 2003 F-350 4 door that I OWN.....So they both suck....

2003 made a 7.3 and a 6.0, how do you know which one I have?

and they made more 6.0 than 7.3's....Get ya facts straight...

Watch out junior, You're messing with thing king of smack (not that this is smack) but where I'm going is, Smoke will make you shut your mouth and know your roll.

u my dads 05 dura max 6.6 will pull them both backwards. even with the banks on 1..

For the money, the Lightning is the winner. 5.4 engine, with a supercharger. Thats about equal to like a 6.3 V-8. The FACTORY HP numbers are  380 at the crank, 450rwtq

I dynoed my Lightning and it pulled 336rwhp 438rwtq

I have a 04, with 600 dollers, The SRT couldnt touch me. And If I had to pick one of the trucks, and it was either the 30k lightning vs the 50k SRT, but the limit was 50k, I would go with the lightning and invest in lots of aftermarket parts, 20k to be exact.


Also, the Lightning was the fastest truck for 8 years in a row. It took dodge 8 years to catch up and say.." Hey, why dont we take a hemi out of a truck and maybe a SRT-10 viper engine out and swap them, and then scrap the hemi because they suck anyways.. Well, hey! Thats an Idea, we will show ford that 20 grand will get you less than 10mpg and 160 more horsepower!!"


Well, only toping out at 155 MPH, the SRT seems to lacking were as the Lightning can claim a full 147mph electronically limited.


Also, if you like to show off your Viper inspired truck to your quad buddys, well.. one question, how will you put your quad in with that ridicuals wing on the back of the bed? Did I mention it isnt recomended for towing?

If anyone wants to defend the SRT, I can go on for hours.

But for the record, I will put down the SRT is faster out of the two off the dealer floor.

bla,bla,bla

I agree lol

who wants banks?  my daddy has a f-550 that will drag your dad's duramax to the ford dealership, so he can buy something with some balls...my dad's f-550 eats duramaxes and $hits cummins....

mtg_man, one day these kids will learn.....LMFAO....until then, i will keep treating them like my boy toys....

Well, it seems that everyone wants facts around here, so why not post them?

Hey Demon boy, who are you even to talk, you wont even have your PERMIT for another 2 years.

I will get pictures.  I don't live with mom and dad, so I will get his in a few days.... ;)

The SRT-10 is not a hands down faster truck stock for stock. The SRT's are a 6 speed that 98% of the owners can't launch to save their a55es. And if the SRT doesn't beat the Lightning out of the hole it will lose every time. The Lightning stock is  very easy to launch and being an automatic, you won't be missing shifts. Ask the SRT guys how fun it is to find 3rd on a speed shift. This is why virtually every SRT-Lightning encounter on the street/track ends with the Lightning  as victor. The SRT 10 is a nice truck, but not for the price. Not to mention the cost of anything to mod it.
   I've ran 2 different SRT's with my old Lightning. It was a 2002 stock down to the filter lightning and I won both times by a considerable margin. I don't even bother with them now with my new Lightning as it's heavily modded and it'd be silly to waste the gas on a stock SRT-10. The chance of finding a heavily modded one to run on the street is slim to none. Most owners won't race around here anyways.

LONG LIVE THE FORDS.....Fords are like yamahas, ALWAYS IN FRONT....brings back the saying, if ya can't beat em join em....i used to love to toy around with the camaro's when i had my mustang gt before...

If I had 400 posts, I would give them to you because I know who you are.

SRT's transmission ratios were'nt changed for the 8.3 engine thats why it ONLY tops out at 155. If dodge made an automatic SRT They would be owning lightnings and using there heads too like for changing the ratios. I think if they had the same tranny like auto or both manual the SRT would come out on top. You did make a point about that wing that definently should'nt be where it is, senseless mistake....... :o :o

Who cares?  Enough w/ the polls already! >:( >:( >:( >:(

I know if you owned a '94-'03 Mustang and were toying with Camaro's of the same years-you were losing a lot!!

98 here. I don't have any problems with Camaros.  ;D

From the factory-the GT was slower.  :-*

it wasn't stock....

neither was my '96 Z-28, but only rarely got to see the rear GT emblems on the back of Mustangs on the street or at the track-but before any mods were done-those years for the Mustangs were dogs!!

The GT's yes. But you probably can't see it due to the quality but there is a little reptile on the side of the car.  >:D  The 99+ GT's are a vast improvement over the previous models.  But really who in their right mind keeps a V8 stock?  :drive.gif  -Mark

Mr. Bones, can we move this post to the kids section.  They seem to be the only ppl enjoying this thread.  Maybe a suggestion to move all polls to the kids forum.  They also seem to be the only one's creating these useless polls.

Ford Lightning no doubt!

WHO CARES

Yeah. What she said. :banghead.gif :gr
