I would take the lightning just because its a sweet looking truck. The Dodge would be so fun beacuse its fast but does not look as good.

interesting. I never realized the motors were 8.3liters....still too much $$$....
They are not any faster than a Lightning, a only a tad quicker stock v stock!!! Originally posted by skrilla187:

FYI: Only the QuadCab model gets the auto tranny. ALL standard cab's still get the 6spd Manual.

Lightning's hook up just fine, more than a few guys are pulling 1.7s consistently and highly modded guys 1.5-1.6s....Mind you, there isn't alot to do to get these trucks to hook up. In my limited two times to the track, I pull 'measily' 1.9x's Originally posted by Putz:

and im not talking about moving refrigerators or loading up the truck with sheets of plywood or anything, just everyday stuff like it you were to go camping, or buy a new 36" tv...etc. can you imagine asking a buddy or relative to borrow their truck so you can bring your new tv home? theyd be like "didnt you just BUY a truck for $50k?!?!" then you'd say "yeah, but..."
