Looks like Ford is content to let Dodge hold the title of worlds fastest production pick-up after all.

Or they have something else in the works

 

Tim, isn't ford working on a new engine. Something like a 6.1 to replace the lightning....forgot the name though? It would be cool if they brought back the Cleavland engine with pushrods.

 

Don't you guys remember the picture of a Lightning that had the 04 body syle? I remember reading that they were working on making it lighter etc. Ford wouldn't stop making the L!!!

 

Oops, bad link. Try this one.

1 800 FORD SVT



They will answer all your questions. The L is on hold or cancelled as of right now. If they develop one it will be after 08. And even then they might let Ford sell the L and SVT will develop a faster version and rename it. Who know's untill it finally show's up a the dealers...

 

Just wait for the new 6.2 liter Hurricane engine.

 

forget the lightning, they'll drown you with this one.

 

Oh... No more L...

 

Stupid gas prices.

 

No doubt gas is soaring like crazy

 

Thats too bad-- the Lightning is the best racetruck on the market as far as I'm concerned. Of course you could throw in the ever popular faster=better argument and in that case the Ram SRT-10 is the best.

 

I think the price of oil kills a lot of the perfomance market, and as a direct result, we lose the Lightning. I know it's not the only reason, but I'm sure it was a factor, anyway.

 

Imagine you thinking that

 

Maybe SVT is goning to get a hold of a Ranger and compeate with toyota's X-Runner
