The F250 I would believe if it was a Diesel

Everybody has a 9 second L now a days. No big deal. I just wish I got the 5 spd and the V-10 option like some kid told me the top model Lightnings have. Even here on the boards there's got to be 50 trucks that WOULD run tens...if they got the bugs worked out. (I know the tens are closer, but everyone thinks they can do it!)

My buddy even told me his buddy has a SRT-10...he has connections. I said get him to race me then!

Nothing in Lubbock can function in 9 seconds. Takes the Red Light in town that long to change. He more than likely meant he could get from one end of town to the other in 9 seconds. It's at least 1/8 of a mile from end to end.

That would be insane, think of an enzo with an S/C on it, 600 hp stock, then u add an S/C on that block, ull be getting 5 mpg, insane HP ratings, and having to rebuild the engine as often as u would need to change the oil.

My B.S. meter is pegged.

Ferrari does not use superchargers. If they have it has not been anytime in the last 20+ years. In fact I read in an magizine article where a Ferrari powerplant engineer was quoted as saying that they do not even do reasearch on supercharging. However they do use turbos alot.
