Besides that, word is the 2001 Lightning has even more horseys than the
2000's. I don't know what they did to it but they were rated at 360hp last
year. Even bigger than that is GM's new engine. The Vortec 8.1 liter has
been released. 380hp@455 lbft. Now I want to see a Silverado and a
Lightning go head to head.

Yes! There are many more parts to choose from but that will be short lived,
since it will be discontinued from next year lineup. I believe the 4.7 HO
will be the 2002 R/T pushing around 265HP and 350 lb of TQ, with the 5.7
push rod Hemi will be the R/T in 2003.>>>
I started this thread because I want to get a new truck...I can buy
whatever I want, but was undecieded between an R/T and a Lightning..I think
you Guys have convienced me to get the Lightning because it has now, what
Dodge may have in 2-4 years,,by that time I'll be ready for a new truck ...
Thanks for the input,,,,,
