Should Ford bring back the SVT Lightning sport truck with the lightweight 2015 F150?

While most folks who buy a modern SVT-prepared Ford F150 are looking to tear up the offroading world with the mighty Raptor, the earlier SVT pickups focused more closely on all-out speed. The Lightning started off as a tuned up version of the F150 in 1992 but from 1999-2004, a supercharged V8 made those SVT Lightning pickup trucks the fastest in the world. Unfortunately, the Lightning program didn’t continue past 2004 and with the newest (current, shown above) generation of the SVT F150 going the offroad route with the Raptor, the Ford sport truck was seemingly gone. There have been plenty of rumors about a new Lightning since then, but never before has the return of the SVT Lightning seemed like such an obvious idea.

My dream is just to restore one of the 99-2004 lightnings. There are several around my neighborhood. Silver was obviously the most popular color because that is all I have ever seen in my neck of the woods. But, lets not forget that where SVT left off, Roush picked up with the R150 and the nitemare. http://www.roushperformance.com/vehi...-nitemare.html
