This is one killer vehicle! GM's inline 6 is one potent motor, and with twin turbos it's almost unbeatable.



As for this new generation of power trucks/SUVs, they're running rings around cars these days in terms of performance. Percentage-wise, trucks have jumped a lot farther in performance than cars have in just a few short years. These days, the truck/SUV performance market is a helluva lot more exciting than the car market.

Damn straight, Mike. BTW, those Syclone/Typhoon trucks were way ahead of their time IMO. Almost the truck/SUV version of a GN. ;)

In a lot of ways they were ahead of their time, just as the Turbo Regals were. They were on to something but just didn't have it all sorted out yet.

Fact is, you just can't beat the new wave of trucks nowadays. Personally, I have always favored the Lightening until the SRT-10 came out. The Ford may be faster but that SRT-10 is just too cool for words. Everything about it is cool. Hell, the potential there is unreal. Can you say: Roots blower?

I agree 100% with you. Some people bash DC, but the SRT-10 does what the other makers' trucks do _without_ a blower. Slap one on that bad boy and look out. Witness some of the blown Vipers running around.
