screw that dodge coming out.. this thing is nuts..
read this, how does 500 horsepower sound. and 50 more whenever you fuckin need it.. im waiting in line for one of these!

"Ford's patented SuperCooler technology cleverly provides a special burst of power for the SVT Lightning concept. Traditional intercoolers dissipate heat from the supercharged air by circulating coolant through a front-mounted, air-cooled radiator. With the SuperCooler system, the vehicle's air conditioning system is used to chill a small storage tank of coolant to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

On demand, the SuperCooler system switches the intercooler flow from its normal circulation and dumps the chilled coolant into the engine's intercooler. In turn, the intercooler dissipates up to 20 percent more heat from the charge air - resulting in a denser air charge.

A green light on the instrument panel indicates the system's readiness. SuperCooler is activated automatically when the driver depresses the accelerator to a wide-open-throttle position.

"This technology plays directly into the hands of the enthusiast," Coletti says. "The SuperCooler provides the edge for the driver, and it is done simply by taking advantage of the hardware that already exists in the vehicle."

As a result of this cool technology, the SVT Lighting concept can give its driver as much as 50 transient horsepower for short bursts of 30-45 seconds and regenerate within 2 minutes under normal driving conditions. While its effect is similar to that of an aftermarket nitrous oxide system, the SuperCooler is completely self-contained, environmentally friendly and regenerative."

That's pretty bad ass.. Wonder if it'll have better times then the Porsche Cayenne.

Lightnings are pretty baaaaaad... My roommate has raced a few with his z28 Camaro, they can kick some ass.

I wonder if any other car maker will start including this DIY nitro kit ;)

Thats some hot shit

how much is it?

That truck is ugly. Fast, but ugly. I would rather buy the current, soon to be older, style.

I'd like to drop one of them motors into my Galaxie

:)

those new designs blow.

but.. the old body lightning rocks... they can regularly school cobra's or z28's stock...

I think they run 12.1, which aint bad stock for a $30k truck

There's what you should put in your Galaxie. No supercharger here. Just pure cubic inches. 620 HP off of pump gas.

:Graucho

Hmm a supercharger feeds off the engine itself, not exhaust gasses like turbos do, and delivers instant boost. What is the benefit of cubic inches here? An supercharged engine is more compact and lightweight. Oh, yeah, it also sounds weight more high-tech :Graucho

Wow, nice truck.

That brushed aluminum look in the interior is... *drools*

the sound of 620 ponies at 6500 rpm

Is Snap-On getting into instant computer upgrades or something??

Still wont beat my stock v6 p/u truck!

yes, it will. the cayenne does 0-60 in like 5.6 i think. that doge does it in 5.1 and im sure the lightning wont be much better than that.

as for me, stock 0-60 in 4.6 seconds.

syclone.

good eye

Nice truck, dude. And that is an honest 4.6 seconds. Wish I could get my hands on a sy or a ty. :thumbsup

Got this quote from http://www.syty.org/old/faq.html

"In 1/4 mile tests done by Car and Driver and other mags, the Syclone would beat a Ferrari 348ts"

also a quote of them beating ferrari testarossa's.

cool! Also, the Syclone and Typhoon are still the fastest production trucks ever built. Those old V-6 turds will still trounce a lightning. Damn I want one!

:waaaaahh

man, u have to drive one! Its soooo much fun. AWD 4.3 V6 Turbo, need I say more? and 3,500 lbs. hehe... and yes, it beat that ferrari in everything but top speed. I still cook porsches everytime I take it out.

Keep your eyes peeled on ebay, there is usually one or two on there.

2,889 made, i got #289.

I want either a Grand National, a Syclone, or a Typhoon. True, not lofty wishes, but to find an original one in good shape is near impossible. I live in Northern Canada, which hampers my search. Nice ride, dude! What I wouldn't pay to see a cocky porsche owner waxed by an 'S-10'. :1orglaugh
I have driven a Grand National in my past life, and that thing just amazed me. I was on a highway, pinned it, and laid a VERY long strip of 2nd gear rubber going about 60 mph. That is what hooked me on those GM V-6 turbos....When I floored it, that car was totally freaky. And it was stock. :eyecrazy

I saw that motor debuted on one of them TNN shows...
Kick ass it is, but I'm don't wanna bother putting a Chevy motor in a Ford.
Maybe in my '55 Chevy though.

Heh I think that guy is selling the meters and crazy shit mechanics plug into new car's computers to tell you why the "check engine" light is on... shit like that.

Is yours modified at all?
My typhoon has pretty much everything done to it besides the motor.

Do you need a mullet to drive these vechicles?

Those Syclones rocked. The Typhoons were cool, too.

The dodge and the ford will smoke your stock syclone.
0-60 is quick on the syclone but nobody races 0-60...
and since my syclone i owened for 7 years ran a 14.1 @ 96mph (STOCK) in the quarter mile i think you might have some catching up to do.

Last years lightning ran low 12's with only a different set of pulleys and exhaust system.... and that truck has 350hp.
this thing is 550hp... put some nice slicks on the thing and say goodbye to any truck on the road :)

oh yeah.. the air up here sucks too...
i ran high 13's in Texas with my syclone.. i wish i still had it but the motor blew up... dont floor the car at every stoplight like i did! :thumbsup

ford :(

A ford lightning with pulleys, exhaust and slicks is not stock, moron.

A 2001 Lightning, stock:
0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds
1/4 mile at 100 mph in 13.9 seconds
Which is insane fast for a truck, but a turd compared to some of the cars being built now....
I like the lightning, though. A very cool truck.

And your warranty

who said it was stock? i was just noting how fast the thing is with hardly any upgrades. moron? my feelings are hurt :(

http://typhoon-link.net/CD/GMCSyclone.html

those times for the syclone are dead on.
14.1 @ 93

fun as fuck truck to drive... minor mods and your in the mid to low 13's easy.

tires wont hurt the warranty.

Read your post, fudgepacker. You were comparing 1/4 times between a stock Syclone and a modded lightning. Did you ever even own a Syclone? I smell bullshit here, and it definitely ain't mine, sunshine! :winkwink:

So you are saying if you snap the rear-end because you used slicks ford will happily repair it? Dude, the smoke coming out of your ass....I am blinded!

Not stock though. 55# injectors, exhaust, chip, upgraded turbo & intercooler, much more...
