Sorry Lightnings Still Rule For Now
Let's see...late '03 give them the benefit of doubt and say Sept=9mos and we still have 8mos left in '02 so 8+9=17[I'm so good at math] or a year and a half give or take a few months. Like I said before, don't look for one in your hood anytime soon!

Reading between the lines?
hmmm.... Maybe I'm just pessimistic? or... reading between the lines?
and...
and...
Lots of room for backpeddling in that article?
hmmm.... HMMM.... HMMM!!!
A version of this Dodge Ram SRT-10 shown at the Detroit auto show - with a Viper 10-cylinder engine stuffed under its hood and Viper brakes to stop its 500 hp - is likely to arrive late in 2003.
But there was another possibility for the Specialty Vehicle Engineering unit. Fernandez, who had run Chrysler's now-defunct performance engineering works in California in the 1980s, wanted to create a unit that made production cars go faster and turned out vehicles that quickened the pulse of aficionados.

Looks like a smokescreen.
Let's see, the 500 Hp Ram P/U doesn't come out until late 2003. According to the article, they have two years to show a profit. That gives them, generously, 6 months from the P/U intro, until they shut it down, because it didn't make a profit.
Reeks of typical Mercedes bait and switch marketing. Keep the customer waiting a long time, until he gives up and buys something else in your lineup, because he's tired of waiting for the POS.

I agree with those who have said that the price of that truck can not be much less than the cost of the Viper. They can't afford to tarnish the image of their "cash cow". Now, the new hemi might be the engine to use and still not ruffle too many feathers.
