ford has stopped production on the Lightning to boast sales of the new 2007 Ford Sport trac Adrenalin. Impressive sut but it's not as impressive as the lightning.

Sport trac Adrenalin specs.

Supercharged 4.6Liter 32 valve DOHC(mustang cobra engine)
(390Hp - 390Ftlbs)
allwheel drive
6speed automatic (A first for Ford)
295/45/21 on 21X9 machined aluminum wheels

Ford Svt marketing sales maganger states
"The key to the Lightning's longevity was that its powertrain came in a useful package, also what other vehicle can crack the 1/4-mile in 13 seconds, approach nearly 150 mph on a track, and still tow 5,000 pounds or haul a 1,350-pound load? We think that same mix of ultimate performance with genuine utility makes the Adrenalin a perfect sequel to the SVT Lightning.”

$50k is too rich for my blood and I think that it is uglier than the last one.
