How much is the dodge viper truck up to now? $55,000? $60,000?
I think the new Lightning will pack more punch at a lot better value.

i totally half to agree with viss1 on this one. noway in hell did ford start this trend gm had this market well before ford did. gmc produced the powerful typhoon and its pickup counter part the syclone these little trucks held that title fastest production pickup untill the gen 2 lighting came out. basically the power plant was designed after the grand nationals setup v6 turbo with a corvette automatic trans. do a search you guys for these trucks and you will see some sick video af these vehicles whipping ass on loads of hot cars like 911's and others.

Well, now you are comparing a the Sy/Ty to a 1/2-ton pickup. Those trucks could not do the work that the Lightning or SS could of that time. Try towing a boat with the Syclone...those vehicles can not be directly compared, an apples/oranges type of thing.
The SS and 90's Lightning came out around the same time. The late-model Lightning has been out for years now with no competition. Now Dodge and Chevy(SS=SLOW and EXPENSIVE) are trying to play Fords game. That's okay because Ford will once again raise the Bar when the new Lightning comes out based on the new platform.

Ever heard of a Syclone! It's the Typhoon's pick-up cousin! The ony advantage it does have is that SyTy's are all wheel drive! www.syty.net -Andy

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I agree with him, but thats only personally. I have no use for a truck with towing capabilities in my daily life, therefore, these appeal to me most. If i did have sue for towing in my life, I would definately take a yukon denali by gmc, those cars just look so friggen sweet.
