Ill agree the Hemis got more umph than the 5.4 but with a few minor agustments it would kill it, another thing bout both trucks ill bet you the F-150 lasts longer than the ugly Ram

The last generation of Lightning was running numbers close to what the SRT-10 RAM was running with more then 100 hp less.

The 3V 5.4L in an F-150 will match a Hemi-powered 2500/3500 truck...but the 1500 Hemi's will get away from the Triton. I've had some pretty close personal experience with the 2V 4.6L, and the 3V 5.4L...without a doubt the MOD engines from Ford are the most reliable fullsize truck engines on the market right now. It's amazing to see what these things can take without even a slight hiccup.

Just for fun, I googled Dear Mr. Vorobej. Try it, you'll like it.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=James+Vorobej

We do know he plays a lot of video games...
http://www.gettiffany.com/archive.as...ofile&a=319841

He claims to be a doctor driving a 2006 Escalade...
http://www.solsticeforums.com/forums/member.php?u=3247

He's thinking of buying a Pontiac Solstice...
http://www.solsticeforums.com/forums...ead.php?t=9253

And he's interested in Dodge SRTs.
http://www.srt10forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11779

For a doctor, that's some mighty impressive grammar.

I think he's blowing some smoke. What were those little kid's toys that looked like elfs with long, brightly colored hair called? t...r...o...l...l...s...

Yea well my 1965 Shelby Cobra would blow the socks off of any of them! But even my Porsche could do that, or my BMW.
on most sites I go by, Dr. 85Ford...

Well I gotta go an take a swim in my huge pool now. My house is so big I have to drive a golf cart to get to the other side. Luckily I got the golf cart rigged up to look like a 06 Vette...

I seen a comparison with the SRT-10 Viper Ram VS the Lightning and I seen that the ram had a 8.3L and the Ford with 5.4L. Looking at the 0-60 the ram only beat the lightning by only .3 tenths of a second. With the ram having a 498 ci motor 500 hp and 100 hp more than the Fords 333 ci and 390 hp. It just doesen't make sense the Ram truck has 100 more horsepower and only beat the lightning by .3 tenths of second. If you ask me the dodge is crap.
