Looks like a Ford Lightning will outrun an SRT-10?? What sense does that
make?

Looks like you've been reading fiction again, eh?

Since there's no '05 Lightning (gee, I wonder why?), this is all moot,
but last year's models went head to head and the SRT10 won:

Here are the numbers if you're interested:

Calypso Green '93 5.0 LX AOD hatch with a few goodies
Black '03 Dakota 5.9 R/T CC

How you figure? Might be close because of weight differences.

See a lot of Lightning's at the drags. Haven't seen a SRT-10 yet, but the
Fords run. Just from the magazine test results on the SRT-10, seems like the
Lightning is quicker.

Check out this guys home page. I don't know where he copied the
test from but it looks like a magazine thing. It shows 5MPH and 3/10 of
a second difference between the Lightning and the SRT10. *IF* those
numbers are accurate, I would speculate that there is less than the
advertised 120HP difference between those two trucks.

Well, duh. Only an idiot would compare an '05 Nissan against an '03
Dakota.

And what weeniemobile are you driving these days, WF?

You guys are freakin' amazing. As usual, you didn't bother to read.
As I already posted, that test came from he

http://trucktrend.com/roadtests/pick...ge/index5.html

It's an '04 comparo that clearly shows the SRT10 whupping the
Lightning's ass.
