SRT-10 vs SVT Lightining Well my dad had his first race since getting the SRT-10 Ram this morning, me and my buddy in his Lightining ambushed his ***! Mods are SRT is stock, Lightining has 12# pulley, K&N, and Flowmaster Catback. Waited for him outside his neighborhood when he left for work. We lined up from a 20 roll, my buddy honked and on 3 man that SRT took the **** off. 
It was sick, he ended up pulling like 6 trucks on my buddy by the time he let out. Now my friend is all butthurt about it but oh well congrats to my old man for the win!

umm he beat your friends lightly modded lighting . those trucks pack alot of hp but it weighs a **** load they dont run to well for the power or motor it has at the track. from what i have seen the lighting should take it with those mods any given day 
Is this an old lighting or a newer one?

the srt-10 does 13.1 in 1/4 stock..and handles better than most cars.. i believe it's .89 g's. it should stomp a lightning even a modded one.. the lightning isn't all that slim either

It was a 20mph roll, traction was MUCH less of a factor. The SRT10 has better hp/weight ratio I would think, also, from a roll the T56 tranny vs the automatic of the lightning gave him a gearing advantage. I am not suprised.

Working at a ford dealership, I had the chance to see/drive a pullied/chipped 02 Lightning. It was nice, it felt almost EXACTLY like my old 95 LT1 Trans Am. On the other hand, a sales 360 team came through and had a SRT10 and at 50 mph he could ROAST the tires...must give much respect. We never ran the two, sadly b/c the GSM's son blew the motor in our 02 by over-revving it as the chip disabled the rev-limiter. It was replaced and he was fired (GSM)
