tylergrandstaffDec 03, 2012 now I will admit the raptors are slick.
William DownsNov 23, 2012 I'm sorry but seriously Matthew.. u thought the viper, a car renowned for its v10 power had a v12?
What have u been reading?
Matthew CrightonNov 23, 2012 David I thought it was a V12 but you might be right. Either way it sounded awesome
David ParentiNov 23, 2012 A 4000lb car that will run 14s stock. Slap a pro charger on there, some bolt on's, you have a 11-12 sec streetable sleeper.
Tyler TarboxNov 23, 2012 The Marauder is the ultimate sleeper. Nothing like a grandpa car with a big V8 haha
David ParentiNov 23, 2012 32v with DOHC and a little exhaust work, it sounds really good. People I work with think it has a mustang cobra motor in it, it definitely doesn't lol. I get in a street race every now and then and it does pretty great. Wish I got a marauder though
Tyler TarboxNov 23, 2012 And wow I can't believe that guy asked $30K for it. If I had to sell mine I would maybe ask 20
Tyler TarboxNov 23, 2012 David, that's a cool car! Kinda like the GNX in terms of a sleeper.
David ParentiNov 23, 2012 Alex, it's not stock with wheels. It has a supercharger... Read
Alex MedvedevNov 23, 2012 Right now looks stock to me anyone can buy rims lets see interior and good
David ParentiNov 23, 2012 Ricers hate it, to get beat by "grandpas 4 door Lincoln".
David ParentiNov 23, 2012 Ford will not come out with a new lightning unless it will beat the SRT10 dodge. That is their benchmark.
@Tyler an 05 Lincoln LS V8 sport, With a few bolt on's. stock is close to 300 hp and weighs as much as a mustang. It's kinda a sleeper.
David ParentiNov 23, 2012 @tyler. The best Chevy/Ford competition was the 454 SS Chevy truck, and the First Gen Lightning. After that, nothing. @matthew, you mean viper V10? Pretty sure there was never a V12.
Tyler TarboxNov 23, 2012 The SS was just so slow compared to the Lightning and SRT
Patrick SchalkNov 23, 2012 SRT is supposed to be making the Quiksilver truck that has the 392 in it. MT did a piece on it awhile back. It's a slick truck. I liked the SS but I wish they wouldn't have made some with AWD and they should've made some single cab ones.
Tyler TarboxNov 23, 2012 Or the SRT-10 Ram. That was the Lightning's main competitor. The Silverado SS was supposed to be competition but that truck was just terrible in every way. Which was disappointing. It should have been much better
Matthew CrightonNov 22, 2012 If ford brings back the lightning dodge better make a new rumble bee. I saw one last year-a lightened two door ram with a viper v12. It sounded sexy.
Tyler TarboxNov 22, 2012 @David. What did you get instead?
Tyler TarboxNov 22, 2012 Aiden did you get it? Cuz that's a hell of a deal
David ParentiNov 22, 2012 You just got beat by a truck! And I've seen one with 20k miles on it and the owner wanted 30k for it. I almost bought a Marauder (grand marquis with Mustang Cobra engine) with 30k miles for 13k. Shoulda bought it.
Colby ChurchNov 22, 2012 Lightnings are sleepers to most people, that's why I like them. Ricers are like WTF!?
Aiden BassNov 22, 2012 Tyler I was just looking at a lightning with 7,000 miles for sale for $19,995
Tyler TarboxNov 22, 2012 Lightnings are tough to find used. Especially now. They just keep going up in value. I've seen a few in my area sell for almost $30K. Mine's only got 40K miles which is about as low as I've seen any selling on cars.com or autotrader
David ParentiNov 22, 2012 That's one car that always turns my head. Every time I see a lightning or a marauder I get a little excited. Before I bought my car I looked hard for a lightning, but couldn't find one with decent mileage close enough to me.
Tyler TarboxNov 22, 2012 Me too. I love mine. It's an 04 and I thought by now it would look out dated by now but it really doesn't. Even turns some heads surprisingly
David ParentiNov 22, 2012 They were so expensive because it was barely an F-150. The frame and suspension were totally different. The engine and interior as well. So yeah they were pretty pricey. I like the second gen lightnings a best.
Tyler TarboxNov 22, 2012 @David. That would be awesome. But yeah I see your point about the price. It would most likely be very expensive. But for its time, the old Lightning was rather expensive too. Compared to the other F-150 options at least
David ParentiNov 22, 2012 Tyler, there is talk about bringing back the lightning. Most likely be an twin turbo 5.0L. The price is the real issue.
Stas AllenNov 22, 2012 Oh you truck people and your rivalries, never cease to amaze me.
Tyler TarboxNov 22, 2012 Looks alright, but I still think that Ford needs to bring back the Lightning. Just lighten a base two-door F-150 and give it the 750 horsepower Super Snake engine. I would go buy that the day it released
John AtnipNov 22, 2012 Roush should stick to Mustangs. The stock Raptor is good enough. And if you want a modded one, get the Hennessy Velociraptor.
Patrick SchalkNov 22, 2012 The Silvy isn't underpowered Tin. It's fine. I love the Raptor but you guys are retarded sometimes. BTW, the new Ram 1500 kicks everyones ass. 8spd Hemi with Quadralift II system and those interior goodies.
Wyatt OrtegaNov 22, 2012 I wish chevy would make a off roader
David ParentiNov 22, 2012 I thought Chevy had plans of building some Raptor competition. Dodge came out with that Ram Runner. It's a dealer option, not a turn-key truck. It costs more, and doesn't come with wheels and tires! You have to buy the wheels and tires.
Tin NguyenNov 22, 2012 Chevy has always came in 2nd. The silverado is so underpowered even the tundra is a better choice.

Jerrod SwensonNov 22, 2012 It is $6200 for the phase 1 supercharger kit and $599 for the phase 2 which needs the phase 1 which is the supercharger. Right price bad wording.
ROUSH!! HELL YEAH
