Hey Shane! What was the name of this vehicle? Viper Truck Sport (VTS)?
How many were made and were they sold to the public? I am keen damn
interested in this truck.

Uhh - how about the true ViperTruck - the Viper VTS? It was a full size
pickup
w/short bed - just like the Frightning - but with 2 more cylinders 8-) I
would
bet that it would smoke that Ferd also. No - it wasn't regular production -
the
regular production version was the IndyRam (only 2802 units) which has a
360.
Back in 1996 it would smoke anything that Furd made in their truck lines
also.
Even today - we beat Lightnings all the time. As for the 2001 SVT Lightning
(or
whatever you call it) - either a current production V10 Ram or the
soon-to-be-released Hemi Ram will take care of it as well - and probably
much
cheaper. There are even diesel duallys that run in the 12s with only a few
mods
(mostly tweaking the fuel pump & computer - no bolt ons). Furthermore, all
of
these examples are all motor baby! We don't NEED no stinkin power adders
8-))
Just my $0.02,
Shane
