hmm
I've raced a couple SS trucks at the track and with a 4lb lower and 1.9x 60's I was easily 5 truck lengths on them at the traps. I bet it was alot more.
They aren't a bad looking truck and better then an everage pickup.
It's just the have SS logos on and it goes to their head.
Hate to tell ya guys but there's a Dodge Dealer at the end of my street and those SRT Trucks are REALLY growing on me. They are giving them away.
They just got two vipers in too. A dark blue with white stripes. Real sharp ride.

what about a trailblazer ss?
I tried to post this a couple of weeks ago and the moderator moved it but in case you guys didn't know it....there is a Trailblazer ss out now that has the LS2 motor and is all wheel drive making 391 hp stock. It also is $37k. I am really interested in possibly getting one since the Lightning really isnt family friendly. But a near 400 hp stock suv that cost ruftly $37k, now thats an option! I looked at one last week on the lot and they are pretty bad, all black leather with suede seats like ours and a sunroof. The question I had the other day that got moved was has anyone ran one of these yet? If you havent seen 'em do a search for it on google and check it out....at least then you'll recognize one when you see it approach you at a light.

great beating you administered.....BTW ...I don't think it was "a waste of time win"...it was a beating he deserved. 
Found this online from Motortrend....
funny how they left out the lightning and the harley on that one.

Road Test: 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Hemi vs. Chevrolet Silverado SS
Test Behavior...
If you're used to driving big, torque-tuned pickups, you'd probably never guess just how quick a full-sizer can be. From zero to 60 mph, these two 2.5-ton beasts run like Pat Buchanan at an Eminem concert. The Chevy, its added weight apparently offset by its superior four-wheel-drive traction, has a slight edge, clicking off the run to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, versus 6.8 for the Ram. Farther down the track, the small gap narrows. Our SS tripped the quarter-mile lights in 14.99 seconds at 89.05 mph; the Ram posted a nearly identical run of 15.11 seconds at 89.06. Such swiftness in a pickup truck is not only invigorating, it can be beneficial. The next time a buddy asks you to transport his couch, you can opt out simply by saying, "You ever seen what g forces do to Naugahyde?"
