If they do a new L, they should do a more basic version (think Ram Express) and a Luxury package to add on (similar to the Tremor) all while maintaining a real V8 (hopefully over 500HP). They would sell huge numbers if they did this. A low cost and a Lux version.
I don't think the current 5.0 used in the trucks and the weight loss will be enough to beat the lightning.Ford has enough parts to certainly build a lightning beater,and I would be in line for one if They did.The lightning 390 HP was certainly underrated , My stock 04 Lightning puts out 365HP at the wheels, and runs high 13's in the 1/4.
