you do know this is a truck right? last I checked trucks were made to tow and haul things, not looks pretty in the mall parking lot and go "fast" stop light to stop light.
the real question is why would you throw a bunch of money into a truck to make it try to go fast? when your just going to get your doors blown off by a car that took half the money to build and is twice as fast.

Like i said, diesel pooowwaaaa. Few grand in a 6.4 and your over 500 horses and 1000 ft lbs. tow way more than an f150 and be faster. Best of both worlds

because most of those "blow your doors off" are civics and neons. I love giving a smack down to a civic with a fart cannon in my truck thats much heavier than their car.

Mine is in the middle. Can still tow and haul ***.

I personally think a fast *** truck is more impressive than a fast *** car. Fast cars go fast and don't do much else. Fast trucks are fast, plus the utility of a pickup

Come on live a little......or thats why there are lightnings and srt10 pickups. Kinda like the difference between a Banshee and a Rancher. Sport pickups can be a blast....you should know better than to make blanket statements like that. Any vehicle of any weight can be made fast, some folks hotrod ltd's. Haven't really figured that one out!

Anythings possible. I've got a friend with a 1977 grand marquis with a 460 stroked to a 512. Close to 500 HP. I've never seen something so big move so quick
