The new competitor to the lightning will by the new Dodge Ram SRT-10 which will have in its lowered chassis a 8.3L V10 from the upcoming Viper pumping out some 505 hp and 500 lb/ft of torque...not to mention it'll have a subtle bed cap with a small built in spoiler, some minor body panels, and chrome gas cap. It also will ride on 24" rims with red painted calipers...unsure of cost.

 

 

 

That thing is awesome!!!!!! Too bad it doesn't come in a four-door. Couldn't you see it, you and your 3 best buddies cruising down the expressway @ 180 MPH!!!

By the way, what's up with the whitewall tires??!!!

 

I usually do not care a whole lot about any Dodge. But I love that one. It would be hard to pick SRT or an L. What the heck am I sayin, I can't afford gas for either one let alone the truck and insurance.

 

na!! keep it
JJ

 

I´ll stick with my L ! !

 

They will run into production problems keeping tranny's behind that beast and scrap production all together. Ford has been the only one able to plant that much horsepower behing a truck - sucessfully!

 

There are 2 problems with the new dodge SRT-10 number one 22in + rims are ugly in my opinnion atleast. And number 2 the new dodge rams are FUGLY why would you get an ugly monstor like that which is bound to cost 40+ thousand dollars when you can for 30+ buy a very good looking lightning...just my .02.....I wish i could afford ither one but i wouldn't buy that ugly dodge monstrosity. I feel dodge has ruined a very good looking truck the ram

Syeth

 

Ya, besides, it'll be hard to get aftermarket exhaust that will sound good for that Beast of a V-10! (sarcasm , that thing is a monster)

 

Why would dodge build a truck to be faster than the viper? and what happened to Chevy's truck to compete? I will believe it when i see it. just my 02.

 

It's not faster than the viper

I personally think this thing is AWESOME! You must admit...that much power in a truck...it really wants to make you cream your pants (not really - but you get the idea) Those black rims with white on tires looks horrible...I would get base rims and put custom 23's on. Mmmmm...she looks nice

 

with that much power there will be almost no traction.its overkill if they use that engine.

oh yeah i forgot too mention i hate dodge!

 

lol i used to have a 6cyl dodge dakota that got worse gas mileage even than my F-150 5.4L v8...that V-10 probably gets 4mpg

 

well if it makes it into production, it would be cool, but how many would you acutaly see driving arund?

is it 4mpg or 4gpm
