I'd like to see Ford bring back the Lightning SVT, but even if it never happens, it's cool to see events like this one in Florida can still rustle up a crowd. Check out this story on the HP to read about how Tommy McGee's Florida Lightning meet keeps growing in popularity.

Anyone here go to the recent one?

The Tremor was supposed to be the new "Lightning" but it wasn't well received.

Yeah, I hear you. But I still think there's room for a street performance truck, they just have to make it totally bonkers.

Bring back the Tremor, but put the Raptor high output 3.5 EB and 10 speed into it with 4.10 gears. Regular cab, short bed.

Because they had it priced like a FX2 trim truck. Not many people want to spend 40k+ on a V6 Regular cab F150 that weighs 4600lbs.

Especially when you can get a GT Mustang for mid 20s
