Srt Quad Cab Vs Lightning

No dumb questions here. One of my customers bought one and brought it by to show me today. Compared to the Lightning, the things is like comparing a superduty to the lightning. It's even bigger when you sit in it compared to just looking at it.

The auto tranny is pretty sweet. The interior is sooo much bigger then the lightning and the back seat is pretty big. Really nice option for people looking for sports trucks with more room. The price is obviously not the best. He said he paid 52k for it.

It came with a trans temp guage mounted on a single pillar pod.
The wheels on these things are gigantic.

Also, has anyone seen a metallic orage colored SRT10. Melrose Dodge in Melrose Ma had one parked out front the other day.

Considering the fact it has 4 doors, it should have more room.

J/K man, I have only seen one, it was yellow, parked outside a local dealer here. I wanted to drive it but I was late for work. It's gone now so I won't get that chance.

I meant just the width and what not when your sitting in it.

I have no plans on buying one just haven't seen many posts about the quad cabs.

They are a pretty sweet truck but i'd drather buy a lightning , a kia for a daily driver with a 100k mile warranty........and still have 10k in my pocket.

I've driven the 4-door SRT-10 and it was pretty fun to drive. The brakes are HUGE. Stopping, it easily out-performs the L's (the L's brakes just aren't big enough). The Dodge also has a nice transmission, shifted quick and firm for a stock transmission (chirped into 2nd at WOT). Even though its slower than the L, its a very nice truck. Overall, I enjoyed the truck, just find it hard to pay $45,000 for a truck.

Saw one run at Moroso last winter. He had 500 miles on it, completely stock, 3 passes in the 13's with a best of a 13.64 on a hot humid night...... Nice times for such a heavy truck...........

PEacE....................

I thought they came with 4:11's....???

*EDIT*

Nevermind.....

8.3-liter Dodge Viper V-10 engine
500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque
Four-speed automatic transmission
48RE gearbox, adapted from a diesel engine application for its ability to handle large amounts of torque
Heavy-duty torque converter, custom transmission calibration and two-piece drive shaft, chosen for powertrain performance.
4.56 gear ratio to improve launch feel, low-end acceleration and towing capability of up to 7,500 pounds
Fully hydroformed frame for strength and rigidity

If dodge had half a brain there would be a Hemi in a dakota pickup with a big old blower on top. Rebirth of the Dakota R/T

Why go big when you can go fast..oh wait. Dodge guys like to talk more about their trucks then run them.
