Holy mooooo jeebus anyone read the specs of that new tundra street concept with the 5.7L with a Blower to boot,


Put that in a base model tundra 2wd with a LSD in the rear and you got

 

Gonna go after ford lightnings now...mhmmm yota is gonna kick thier arse..

 

Is this the one?

 

I'm looking into getting myself one with all the bells and whistles.

92yota your pic doesn't work,

 

check it now

 

for what it is its pretty awesome but i hate street trucks personally

 

X's two!

 

I think it looks badass, IMHO.

 

me likey

 

i used to have a street truck of sorts...98 chevy lowered 4/6 with a bunch of other goodies. What I learned from that truck is that if you want to go fast, you buy a muscle car. Trucks are trucks. They should be used for what they were intended....wheeling, towing, hauling.

 

For the most part I find street trucks useless. Then I saw those pics. My god....


THat's all I can even muster to say!

 

I hope they make the S/C option available for every model that has the 5.7L engine. Not just the street version.

 

You will be able to buy the S/C from TRD so I'm asuming it will fit any 5.7

 

i want those brakes on my 3rd gen, its about time freaking toyota went to rear disc!

 

Good luck on that! You may be able to beat some stock lightnings but after that I dont know.

So what would be the difference of a street car? At least with the pickup you can do more.

James

 

Amen. Then we can find one of these wrecked and jerry-rig these rear disks onto our 4Runners.

 

you couldnt have said that any better

 

Where to start with this one.... a muscle car is a lot lighter than a truck. the suspensions are tuned to better handle high speed cornering. The aero dynamics are better. It takes a lot less to stop a 3-4k lb sports car than it does a 4.5-6k lb full-size truck.

After all the work i did to my truck, one ride in my buddy's 99 cobra convinced me that it was basically worthless to try and makes trucks go fast. If I want a go fast type car, i'd start with a domestically produced sports car with a V8.

 

I guess you never rode in a Lightning, have you? Besides the new Mustang weighs roughly 3700-3900 lbs. Not exactly light but I do see what you are saying. Besides muscle cars are heavy. The little Jap sports cars are the one you want for handling.

Don't get me wrong I like this Tundra but it is nowhere in the League of a lightning. If they do make it, I doubt they will sell many just like that of the Tacoma 6 speed truck which I cant remember the name of it.
