OK, you'd like to see them compared without the blower on the Lightning? The Dodge has 8.0L of displacement here out of a 10-Cyl motor, where as the Lightning has 5.4L of displacement out of a 8-Cyl motor. To be fair, the 8PSI blower doesn't even make that an equal comparison. Perhaps an SVT version of Ford's V10 would be a better contender on a completely naturally aspirated playing field. The mill from the Ford GT appearing in the lightning, with the same power rating as the V10 in the Dodge SRT/10 would be an interesting addition to this scene, and I hope that is what we end up seeing. Considering how the Lightning stacks up against a truck with 110HP on it, leveling that field horsepower-wise will make the "true muscle-truck" rise to the top.
