Some old road tests
Here are some old Car And Driver test of the Syclones and Typhoons and Lightnings
and the Dodge. At least there are all from the same source.
Here the 1991 Syclone ran a 14.1 @ 93 MPH in stock form
http://www.sportmachines.com/magrack...iver_9-91.html
Here the 1992 Typhoon ran a 14.1 @ 95MPH in stock form
http://www.sportmachines.com/magrack...iver_3-92.html
Here the Dodge Ram SRT10 ran a Standing 1/4-mile 13.6 sec @ 105 mph
http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=5
Here the Dodge Ram runs a 13.3 @ 106.9 and the Lightning ran a 13.6 @ 102
http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/...ge/index1.html
So Dodge > Lightning > Syclone/Typhoon
For their day the Sy/Ty were faster than Vettes. However, once modded any
vehicle can be made faster than another and vice versa. But in factory trim
the dodge is the quickest and the current lightning is in 2nd and the Sy/Tys a
close third. But there is also an older Dodge truck a "Lil Red express" that
was quick too. But don't remeber its 1/4 mile times. By the way, I have owned
the Syclone and I currently have a 2004 Lightning. In stock trim my L runs a best
of 13.54 @101 the Syclone's best stock time was a 13.76 @96. Both run best
in cool weather. All of these trucks are bad *** and at least the Sy/Tys and the
lightning are easily modded to run low 12s and 11s.

Those SyTy numbers are off, in the 1/4 in stock form it goes SRT-10>SyTy>Lightning. The SRT-10's are about a tenth or 2 quicker. And if you're talkin about 0-60 and on the street it's hands down a Sy or Ty. But we do top out at 126 . I hit a 14.4 in 100 degree Az heat and a butt load of knock (over 16 at 10lbs of boost). I'm not stock anymore though so I can't retest.

I agree with the original order... SRT/10, Lightning, Sy/Ty...
True the Sy/Ty can be quicker than a Lightning in the 1/4mile just look at the MPH... From a roll it would be all over for the GMC and generally speaking I see 90% of most street races take place from a roll.
*EDIT* Rather than erase my post I'll look the fool. Semms things changed for 05'...
