Why is everybody making such a big deal about this?? Competition is a good thing. The Lightning has been on top of the hill in this segment for the past 5-6 years. And my God, I never thought I'd hear so many ricer excuses in one place... "it's got 2 more cylinders y0"... "that dodge costs $10K more"... "the dodge has a stick"... "it's a 6-speed, that's not fair!!"... "y0, it has 500HP, that's bullsh*t"... "wait 'til that new Lightning comes out and then it'll smoke it"... So much hysteria over something that is seriously not a huge deal. I see this thing being passed back and forth over the next few years. One-upmanship is the name of the game with performance vehicles.
I say, good for Dodge. At least someone else is bringing something to the table in this segment. Chevy pissed on their pantleg with that POS Silverado SS so I applaud Dodge for making a solid effort.
