Post a look at the competition

Check out the link. Look at the ET's, prices, and do check out the orion pics. Since Chevy won't build any competition for us AS&M has. But add it up and their supertruck cost over $42,000 and can only match the stock lightning at best. So the next time some one says "all I have to do is put a blower on my Silverado and I'll smoke you" you can really laugh at them. http://www.azspeed-marine.com/produc...e/limited.html
I wonder how pi$$ed some one that bought one of these will be when they come across a Lightning.

hum....competition.... well, @ $42,000 I would expect it to slaghter a Lightning if I was going to plunk down that kinda money. Not even close dollar/performance ratio to the Lightning . I live here in Phoenix Az, when I read the article about it a few weeks ago I wanted to take a trip to ASM to get a good look at it but havent found the time. Maybe next week, see if I can "test drive" it.

Cool

seems that is an awful lot of money for something that is not as fast or as good looking as our lightnings and is also 12 grand more....i could get a real good motorcycle or something worthwhile for that kind of money
