Stock s/c 04 lightning is 380hp/450tq, stock yota is 480hp/and over 500tq (surmised). Even with a modded system the lightning aint gonna touch it to easy. Switch out the pulley, do some fuel mods, have the trans reworked and it will be faster than a dodge ram srt10 with 500hp and 525tq...

Not to shabby..

Why wouldnt they sell to many of them, better built than a lightning and faster. I have ridden in a modified lightning to push 600hp+ now that was fast, but when it was stock yea fast but not insane. With the potential to the s/c tundra street you could tune it to push much higher power than you think, look at the supras pushing 600hp stock..

I already have a vette, which could eat most anything alive that is even lightly modified....but then again mine is modified heavily.

 

A truck will always be behind an equivelant sports car. Go ask Ram SRT10 about traction and they have no towing capacity and only a 500lb payload. A fast truck gives up what makes it useful in exchange for the power. A truck for me is for utility and off roading;gimme a car anyday. My Eclipse stock could outrun either a lightning or a Ram on the topend anyday and with only 200hp.

I wish Toyota would put out a fun affordable sport coupe again but they seem to be into making mega volumes of great selling vanilla Camrys.

 

In california, we called them "basic 4s" bottom of the barrel base model silver 4cyl crap camrys ahha

 

i'd rather own a "vanilla", "crap", new camry than any ˟˟˟˟˟subishis
