Wrong.

Its not that much faster than the lightning. The 2005 SRT10 runs a 13.5@106mph. A 2001 Lightning runs a 13.7@101mph. The SRT10 isn't that much faster considering how much bigger the motor is.

[PSiedTSi]

the MPH shows the HP difference tho...

[MisterCMK]

right, but the SRT10 is not that much faster than the lightning. I'm a little disappointed since the SRT10 has a helluva lot bigger motor than the lightning. I think it needs a little forced induction.

[PSiedTSi]

well i think the problem is traction...i remember watching them test em on C&D and they couldnt get traction no matter what they did...my guess is slicks vs slicks would show a very different outcome...

The nice thing about the Lightning is that a simple pulley and belt change can net some serious hp gains over the SRT.

[PSiedTSi]

yeah but i bet I/H/E on a V10 yields some pretty impressive gains as well

But to get any real gains further, it will require alot of $$$ and some serious mods to obtain. For modding purposes only, I'd take the lightning.

oh no definately agreed...factory F/I vehicles own

I'll just get an old GMC Syclone and throw a bigger turbo on and smoke both of those trucks. Then the tranny will fall out, oh well.

Sounds like your kind of vehicle!

[treimche]

Someone needs to buy one of these new fast trucks and show us what they can do! Fast trucks are fuckin sweet.

[MisterCMK]

Tintmasters should hurry up and throw some go-fast parts at their dually

I guess the decision is up to you????

Personally i think their both INSANE!!

My friend used to have a Typhoon we had lots of fun in that truck. I think the SRT10 is sweet I'd like one, but I bet gas mileage is crap!

[ticklemedaly]

Id rather have the lightning because it is actually designed to haul a little. Ive heard that on the visor and in the owners manual of the srt10 that it stats not to haul with it because the truck isn't designed that way. On that note, ive also heard from other techs that Corwin has replaced many tranny/engines in those because of people hauling shit with them.

the SRT is has a faster top end speed over the L but the L is faster in the 1/4....there are many debates between the L and SRT guys...but with a pulley change and a chip the L will smoke the SRT all day long....like others stated the L can haul a load in the bed plus pull a trailer and the SRT says not to....problems with the SRT are the clutches...they dont last very long if driven hard

they are both fast trucks but the L in my mind is the better truck overall...and thats one of the reasons that I have a L swap in my truck

[Joel]

I meant by faster as not in just 1/4 mile. and I am talking stock vs. stock. I definitly would rather have a syclone, plus the price difference in money to mod it. And lightnings get mean fast with mods for sure.
