it was an 04 new body, so harley is out. youd think ford would test this thing at least somewhere near the plants or something, not way down here in houston.
the badges were in the spots the regular F-150 badges were.

The Lightning upper is smaller and gives it 8lbs of boost, HD is only 6lbs. They also changed the computer.
A chip, and pulley will put the HP with the Lightning, but HD truck has more weight.

Judging by the way this guy was showing off and your explanation would lead me to believe it to be Nitros or supercharger. That's the only two ways i'm aware of getting that kind of performance.
I watched some truck show that spotlighted the new L. That thing was bad ***, but notthing like you were describing. Now the new motor for the Cobra, now that is exactly what it sounded like and did. It is a full race motor. They showed them testing it in an older mustang. The hood was about 10" higher than normal so the motor fit the car. It reminded me of a pro stock drag car.

3.) No, a Harley is not that fast, nor is it capable of spining the tires at 45 (Unless it's raining). I'd be impressed to see a Lightning do that with it's automatic tranny. Harley's are slow bikes, so what makes you think it'd equal a fast truck?? Besides, it's not SVT.
3a.) The Harley does not have 380 HP they recently got bumped to 340, but before that they had the same 260 HP engine that everyone else had.
4.) Perhaps Ford is testing the new Lightning engine (500 HP) in a SuperCrew so as to not show thier hand.
5.) If the guy with that truck subscribes to this site, post some pics.. This site is about sharing!!!

Mustang??
Heck, there are a number of cars, including 4-bangers that will give a Mustang a run for it's money.
1.) Acura TL
2.) Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE 6-Sp.
3.) Nissan Altima 3.5 SE 5 Sp.
4.) Subaru WRX
5.) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
6.) Nissan Titan
7.) Dodge SRT-4
8.) Any BMW
And that's without doing a lot of thinking...
Not to rag on the 'Stang, heck- I'd love to have one- The Mustang just ain't what it used to be. Harley is bad- I'm just saying the truck he saw was no Harley.
Note: My wife and I saw Audi testing a fleet (5 or 6) of the previous generation A6's along I-10 in 1996. I know AUdi's when I see them, but they had all the badges off, and some funky cover thingy over the grill area.
Audi's are built in Germany, so that was pretty far from the plant... They disguise stuff in plain sight so you don't know what you're looking at, but they get to test the heck out of it publicly, in real world conditions.

next time i see the guy im gonna ask him what the hell that thing was. the truck is parked about 2 miles from my house so i see it all the time. something is up with this, he got some contacts or something to get that. and its not like the guy is brand loyal or anything, he has a brand new dodge hemi, chevy z71, GMC z71, and ford on his driveway. havent seen him driving any of the others to see if they are hopped up though. obviously if he can afford 4 brand new top of the line trucks, he can afford to spend money to hop it up.

I had a Maxima SE, 1997, 5-sp, and my best friend had a 1997 Mustang GT. I told him my Max would run with or out run his Stang, he didn't believe it. One day we were all headed for Tucson, he and his wife in the Stang, my wife and I, and her friend in the Max. We took the short cut through Nogales where there's nothing but 2-lane highway, some deep curves and no cops. We got up to 110 - 120 and evertime he tried to pull on me, I was on his ****. believe it or not, the wives were quiet!! I guess his wife wanted him to win, and my wife thought it was funny that his Mustang couldn't smoke my Maxima. He was leading us there- so don't think he "won".
When we got to the mall he said, "Damn, I didn't know that Maxima would run like that!" What he doesn't know is that if we'd had enough straight highway, top speed I would've waxed his ****... Both cars were capable of 140+ That's when the GT had 215 HP, 300 lb. ft, and the Max had 190 HP and 200+ lb. ft. Numerically, it shouldn't have been a race- but real world- that Max was just as quick as his Mustang. I guess Nissan powertrains are more efficient at getting the power to the ground. Somehow, they always seem able to do more or as much, with less (power).
Now that I think about it, he'd had headers, exhaust and an intake put on, and was supposedly dyno'd to 290-300. His car was way more fun to drive- after all, it was a Mustang. The point is, performance wise, the Mustang is not the icon it used to be...
I'd still take mine in Dark Shadow Grey!

I had a 2000 GT for awhile and the only on the list is the Srt-4, which I got educated the hard way on... (and now which my brother has)
All of the others even the BMW's weren't anything in the 1/4 (except the M-3 and M-5)
some of the others were quick don't get me wrong, but the mustang can be fast... but I guess now that I think about most of those were stock, and my mustang had minor bolt ons.. so not a fair comparison.
And funny you mention the audi's just yesterday I saw 4-5 all black "jettas" with no badges in tandem but it still had the huge circle for where a VW logo would go. It was on a small highway between Midland TX and Lubbock TX
Anyway my original point is... the Mustang is still the best bang for the buck.. (except for the 20k dollar SRT-4 which is insanely fast for what it is)... but the GT, Mach1 and Cobra are all fast cars. Personally I wouldn't have anything other the Mach or Cobra but that is because I already had a GT and why get the same car again
