Roush Nitemare F-150
Getting from zero to 60 in 4.1 seconds feels quick in anything — but it's even more intense when you're in a full-size pickup. But I guess that's what happens when the mad scientists at Roush get to work. If you're looking for a 650-hp beast for your fleet, you'll be able to order a Nitemare for yourself. What do you think about this baby? Hot or not?

I'm kinda neutral on it, Johnny. You're not going to get any where near that performance on the street......unless you know streets that have VHT prep laid down on it for traction. We don't have any around here. But we have a lot of streets with potholes and potholes that aren't fixed right. That they got 650HP out of the engine, for Roush, that's a chip shot. Add a locker axle and call it good is just about what they made. Put it on the street, the real street, and then show me something. My money says you're going to end up with a truck like my 74 F100. Just another tire burner. Tons of great sound, tons of tire smoke, but pure go, not so much. Might be impressive in the optional 4x4 on the street.
