What the automaker says: "The SVT F-150 Lightning concept features a
six-speed manual transmission, independent rear suspension and a
500-horsepower supercharged V-8. It is a powerful combination aimed at
extending SVT Lightning's supremacy into the future. Since it was introduced
in 1993, the Ford SVT F-150 Lightning has been the undisputed sport truck
king, making a name for itself as the "World's Fastest Production Pickup."
Ten years later, competitors are finally bringing Lightning imitators to
market. John Coletti, director, SVT Programs, welcomes the challenge."Ford

BAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHA. I think John needs to find another line of work. The
KING OF THE HILL is removing Ford off the hill. Maybe jealously since Ford
has no real motors. Though, I am still laughing at the claims of the torque
output also.
