3800 you can say what you want about Ford

[tommmy3]

you cant really argue/ say much about this........

it looks dope!

and so does the new SVT F150 - I didnt like Ford before but I like the direction they are heading!

http://autoshow.msn.com/as/autoshow2004/ar...l=Ford2&src=msn

the new COBRA!

"Under the long hood is a 6.4-liter aluminum V10 engine that pumps out an impressive 605 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque. The engine is positioned behind the front wheels, making the short front overhangs possible. This also makes a very balanced vehicle, with 52 percent of the weight in the rear.


Weighing just 3,075 lbs, this car has impressive performance figures. Sixty mph is reached in less than four seconds, and the top speed approaches 195 mph. "

if theat makes it way to production all I have to say is F#$% the GTO.

seen it on "Rides" some new show on the discovery channel or one of those..

Yeah, I believe this is the car Shelby plans on ending his career with. But why compare it to the GTO? This thing is going to be at or near 6 digits for price figures (if it ever makes it to production). Not quite the same as a mainstream, V8 powered passenger car. For the amount left over in your wallet, I'm sure you could do a thing or two with the GTO

Or better yet, I'd take the new 'Vette over the that new Shelby any day. I'm sorry, but that thing just looks horrid to me.

i kinda doubt this car will go into production for the sole reason that it would make their Brand Spankin' New Ford GT supercar pretty much Obsolete. 100 more HP in a lighter car would pretty much obliterate the GT...

One of the rags I was reading the other day said the SVT division was taking a break until late in 05. That ment no more SVY Focus, Mustang or F150.

SVT is great, anyone who can make a 5000lb truck run mid 13's is amazing

I'm already saying that

 

[00GTPSC]

but the sad thing is is that yeah that new dodge truck has 500hp, but it still can't beat the lightning in a race, and it has been tested to, the lightning still wins in the 1/4 mile. And if you don't think lightnings are as fast as u think, ask me and i'll give u a ride one day.

Jim

The SRT10 Ram is a joke compared to the lightning. Stock for stock the SRT might have the lightning, but that SC is way easier to modify. Those V10s dont like FI either.

I dont think they are as fast as U think!

......awaiting my ride

 

[Kyle]

What are the stats on the lightning? Like hp, trq, weight, stock times, and what is the motor? Is it FI or just big and well made?

 

[00GTPSC]

The lightning weighs close to 5000lbs, i think, not positive though, and it's got a triton 5.4L V8 with an Eaton Supercharger that puts out 380hp. and i've seen it run anywhere from a 13.4-13.8 stock, all depends on the driver. Maybe over the summer when it gets nicer out, i'll bring out the Lightning and show you guys

Jim

 

[CoolGTX]

the new lighting in 05 will have 500hp/500tq.....and is running AC/IC

 

[00GTPSC]

trust me, the Lighting is definatley fast, i raced my buddy in his stock 02 Z28 and we were dead even. and i took a mach 1 from a roll.

[Royalgtp]

My buddys 03 cobra with a SC is no joking matter. It scarred the crap outa me how fast it was bone stock.......he got 12.8s with drag radials.....I give that machine props. The Trucks too!
