The advantage that the Lightning has is availability of performance parts
for its 351w. heads, cams, intakes, blowers, turbos, ........how deep are
your pockets?
However you'll have to put up with a reg. Cab, less towing capacity.

I spanked one
last week. My R/T is stock except for the K&N, and the
Lightning had headers
and some other goodies. The guy stopped to talk to me, and
seemed genuinely
impressed. Who knows, maybe I caught him on a bad day. Nah!

Actually I would like to see a race between an old Lightning
(93-95),
and an R/T. I have seen a STOCK Lighntnig run a 15.4 at
Little River.
Never seen an R/T run. I personally think it would be a Very
close run.
Saw a lightning pullin a Jetboat about a month ago in Marble
Falls Tx..
Don't know how big it was as I am to poor to be interested
in boats
right now. Now a Syclone/Typhoon is another story, those
things sag down
if you breath to hard on them.
