02 lightning
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Slimcalhone

Well I got a 02 lighting last week, I really like it I was suprised how it handles and drives it feels just like my gt when going around curves! There has been one problem though it seems like all the Dodge people have a problem with it, all they have to say is that it isn't as fast as a srt-10 (lmfao) they are so hostile, to bad none of them have a srt-10 to see how fast their 46,000 dollar truck really is since you got to be a doctor to buy one. I guess they are just mad that i spent half of that and can pull a motorcycle trailer behind it but I guess that don't matter since they paid 25000 more to go 0.2 seconds faster in the quartermile and a hole 6 or 7 miles per hour topspeed but that has nothing to do with it being a 6 speed and a v-10 to my v-8 and a 4 speed automatic

wonder if I spent that extra 25000 on my truck who would have the better truck for the money? Ohh yeah I already do maybe that is why the Dodge people have their butts hurt.

Later people and drive safe! Im gone to look for a hemi victim (lmao) peace

p.s. I will post up some better pics when I get them

ROTFLMAO! You are making me split my side at the thought of you with that weak ass truck; that has been proven to be slower than the "Fastest Production Truck In The WORLD"! To bad your USED P.O.S will be Found On Roadside Dead; if it was ever LUCKY enough to race; let alone sit side by side at the line with....The LIGHTNING KILLER! AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

If it weren't for the lightning, the Dodge wouldn't even be in existince. Ford has moved on to other things, because we've been there done that.

Either you think Im dumb and cant hear, but that thing had Frickin' NOS on it; you can hear it when he takes off. The Ram was totally STOCK V-10....The Lightning cant beat the SRT-10 stock; its already been proven, so this video means shit to me! Listening to those retards saying "That Dodge Sucks".....Lets see the SRT-10 against the Lightning; without a bottle on it...the DODGE WOULD KICK ASS!

Posted by: Slimcalhone

Yeah you I think ur pretty dumb.. nos.. lmfao... the noise you hear is a supercharger u dumb @#$@! i know u Dodge boys don't know what one of them sound like since if you put one on a hemi it will blow the head gaskets out of it all that was done to that truck was exhaust and a 130 dollar pully maybe you dodge boys should get with things and figure out that a supercharger will make more power for less money than that dumptruck engine that you dodge people think you can put in anything but u can keep reading your mopar comic books and riding around in your dodge omni thinking you might one day be able to afford a srt-10, and when you do win the lotto and get one come find me and let me show you what a real truck can do

Viper-Powered 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 Is Fastest Pickup Truck In The World

Auburn Hills, Mich., Sep 1, 2005 -
Viper-Powered 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 Is Fastest Pickup Truck In The World

Ultimate pickup performance combined with either two- or five-passenger seating and towing capability

SRT performance: 0-60 mph in mid-5-second range, 0-100-0 mph in mid-22-second range, 60-0 mph in approximately 135 feet

Pickup truck aficionados like bragging rights. Having the best is what makes a pickup stand out from the crowd—whether it’s the most outrageous engine, the boldest styling, or the fastest elapsed time.

What if there were a pickup truck that had all those things together—and more?

There is. And it comes in two versions: The 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 and 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab™. With a new-for-2006 hydroformed, fully boxed frame and new interior and exterior designs, the Dodge Ram SRT10 combines the ultimate in performance with extraordinary convenience and utility.

“We wanted to offer customers not only the boldest, baddest, fastest pickup truck in the world,” said Dan Knott, Director—Street and Racing Technology (SRT), Chrysler Group. “But also the boldest, baddest, fastest pickup truck with two rows of seating and towing capability. We now offer two choices of the most outrageous pickups ever offered.”

Dodge Ram SRT10-Like a Viper With More Space:

One choice is the Dodge Ram SRT10—the best choice for the performance truck enthusiast who prefers a traditional cab and the ability to shift gears manually.

The legendary Dodge Viper engine is the focal point of the drivetrain: an 8.3-liter (505 cu. in.) V-10 engine, unleashing 500 horsepower (372 kW) and 525 lb.-ft. (712 N•m) of torque.

Transferring that power to the pavement begins with a Hurst shifter, fitted to a T-56 six-speed manual transmission. Torque from the Dodge Viper V-10 engine is sent back to a heavy-duty differential outfitted with a 4.56 axle ratio to improve launch feel and low-end acceleration.

The drivetrain combination is one key to making the Dodge Ram SRT10 a winner—literally. On Feb. 2, 2004, an unmodified Dodge Ram SRT10 earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s fastest production pickup truck, with a measured top speed of 154.587 mph (248.783 kph) sustained over a “flying kilometer.”

Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab-Performance for the Whole Family:
For the pickup enthusiast who wants Dodge Viper-inspired performance and the ability to “go, stow and tow,” the 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab fits the bill. It offers the ultimate performance for the family-oriented truck enthusiast who desires more interior space and more utility.

The SRT formula is injected into the Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab: Dodge Viper V-10 engine, performance suspension, awesome brakes, race-inspired interior and bold styling. In addition to second-row seats, there are other important distinctions between the Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab and Ram SRT10 regular cab.

One distinction is an automatic transmission—a super-duty four-speed that is specially tweaked
to provide optimum performance with the capability of towing 8,150 pounds. The Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab has several other unique features supporting its towing capability, including a special transmission cooler, heavy-duty torque converter, special front and rear strut and spring assemblies and all-season tires.

A Balanced Approach to Performance:
SRT engineers recognize there is much more to creating a truly complete performance package than just straight-line performance.

The Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab™ were engineered for overall performance, beginning with a new-for-2006 fully hydroformed and boxed frame for increased strength and torsional rigidity, and fitted with fully tuned front and rear strut assemblies. Modified steering and independent front suspension carry the load up front, while in the rear, performance-tuned springs and Bilstein monotube shock absorbers keep things firmly planted on the ground and smooth through the corners. The Dodge Ram SRT10 also is equipped with axle snubbers and a rear sway bar.

Both the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab ride on 22-inch Dodge Viper-style custom wheels. Dodge Ram SRT10 regular cab models are shod with 305/40R22 Pirelli Scorpion tires, while Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab models are equipped with Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires.

For the braking aspect of performance, SRT engineers developed a special system for the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab that utlilize heavy-duty Dodge Ram components and unique four-port opposed-piston calipers. A three-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS) actuates custom red brake calipers up front that grip 15-inch rotors, and in the rear, modified heavy-duty red calipers grip14-inch rotors. Additionally, front brakes are cooled with air ducted from the front fascia to reduce heat build-up.

Great Looks With Function:
Functional performance is also an important part of the SRT DNA in the 2006 Dodge Ram SRT10 exterior.

The muscular shape of the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab were developed with the help of wind-tunnel testing and display cues reminiscent of Dodge’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck series entries: a new-for-2006 front fascia equipped with a chin spoiler, signature cross-hair grille and sculpted sides. There’s also a unique hood with functional air intake that provides additional engine bay cooling. Details befitting the Dodge Ram SRT10’s outrageous attitude include “Viper Powered” badges on the hood sides and a specially designed rear fascia with cutout for the massive dual exhaust tips.

A body-color aluminum tonneau cover over the pickup bed, outfitted with a unique spoiler for aerodynamic efficiency, is standard for 2006 on both Dodge Ram SRT10 models. Special gas struts help in raising and lowering the tonneau cover for easy access to the pickup bed, which features a bed tray for protecting bed and cargo.

Body color choices for both the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab for 2006 include Black, Inferno Red and Mineral Gray Metallic.

Interior With Form and Function:
The interior for the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab is a blend of comfort and performance-bred utility, starting with the Dodge Viper-like red starter button on the instrument panel, and following through with race-inspired heavily bolstered seats with suede inserts that grip the occupants. Other interior touches include a full console, leather-wrapped carbon fiber-patterned steering wheel, and satin silver and carbon-fiber accents on the instrument panel.

A pair of communication options are also available for 2006 on the Dodge Ram SRT10 and Ram SRT10 Quad Cab. One is the UConnect™ hands-free communications system with Bluetooth™ technology. The system recognizes up to seven different Bluetooth-equipped cellular phones and responds to voice commands, utilizing a microphone in the rearview mirror and the stereo system’s speakers for hands-free conversations.

Another option is the DVD-based navigation radio that uses voice commands to guide the user through the drive route, mile by mile, turn by turn, until the destination is reached. An eight-way joystick allows the user to scroll through navigation menus, displayed on a 5.8-inch color display on the dashboard.

An additional option for the Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab is the rear video entertainment system.
