there is NO WAY you would ever keep thst thing on the road. A Lightning engine in a truck that weighs maybe 50 lbs on the back end...

Look at the three pictures at the bottom of that page. The one on the top right. It has the giant SVT sign. Left side yellow car, right side you can kinda see the "Ranger L"

Well, WTF is that red car in the middle? From what I see it looks pretty cool!

Could you imagine drag racing it? You coul'nt get any traction in a Ranger. My Ranger had a 4 banger and I could smoke the tires in 1st, and chirp em' in 2nd & 3rd. Imagine doing that with a supercharged 5.4 v-8! I guess that's why there not in production.

theres plenty of things to do for traction. first of all, you could add traction bars, then drag shocks, then most important TIRES. trust me, with some nice MT, goodyear or hoosier slicks, it WILL get traction, just gotta pick out the correct size. ive seen plenty of 700+ hp rangers at the track that have no traction problems with the correct suspension setup. doesnt Neal have a ranger with like 700+ hp?

I believe he has one if I'm not mistaken. I would love to see a 700 hp ranger go down the 1/4 mile. That would be a sight! Would'nt a truck like that need a very stiff chassis brace or something to keep it from snapping in half from all that torque??? Geez!!!
