Those lightnings are pretty damn quick.
Too damn nice to haul stuff in. I think if i want speed i'll stick to a car. <g>
Im not sure what i think of the whole Race-truck thing, like the Lightning and the Dodge Ram SRT.
Dont bring that up to my hemi lovin buddy tho. Hemi this, Hemi that.
I beat his Dodge 1500 Hemi with my 04 GT every time though, but it is kinda close for comfort, for about a grand he can get that thing beating my stang on a regular basis. Its amazing how much power you can pull from those Hemi's
Dodge is doing some pretty exciting things. apparently you can get about 1000 HP through thier 5.4L Hemi engines. Gotta say tho, that new charger is a spit in the grill of the oldschool chargers if you ask me. They shoulda given it a brand new name and really got to the drawing boards before releasing a new version of a beloved classic. Imagine if the 05 Mustang GT was a 4 door sedan.
Ugh.
I know there were a couple muscle cars that came in 4 door versions, but i say leave it at 2 doors and make it meaner than hell. Muscle cars should not be built with child saftey seats in mind.
I just hope those chargers are lighter than those lumbering massive 300C's. Yah, they got power, but they are so loaded down its rediculous. Leave the 4 door market to the 300Cs and Magnums.
Ford really stepped to bat with thier 05 gt, the new 450hp cobra is just awesome. They need to get on par with everything else or dodge is really going to get a big chunk out of ford's market. That whole HEMI name is big money.
Anyone heared from chevy? they still in business? or do they only do Corvettes now? <LOL>
