Rep Power: 0 I posted that at least a couple months ago but its still a pretty sweet truck. You guys should check out the new lightning. Someone else also posted a thread about that not to long ago.

Rep Power: 0 if dodge kept the viper engine stock then it's still 450 hp which means it will get owned all day long by the new lightning.
so this is the competition that the svt people were talking about
both trucks are sweet but still would get the ford between the two, they were the first sport pickup deal to begin with and well, some of the parts including the head are similar to the Cobra R so that right there makes me want it reeeeaaaaaaaal bad

Rep Power: 0 Cool Technology Takes Power to New Levels
Coletti’s team fit the SVT Lightning concept with an all-aluminum, 5.4-liter DOHC supercharged and intercooled V-8 engine conservatively rated at 500 horsepower and 500 foot pounds of torque (SAE net). And while they were at it, they invented and patented a speed secret for those times when even that much power just isn’t enough.
Ford’s patented SuperCooler technology cleverly provides a special burst of power for the SVT Lightning concept. Traditional intercoolers dissipate heat from the supercharged air by circulating coolant through a front-mounted, air-cooled radiator. With the SuperCooler system, the vehicle’s air conditioning system is used to chill a small storage tank of coolant to about 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
On demand, the SuperCooler system switches the intercooler flow from its normal circulation and dumps the chilled coolant into the engine’s intercooler. In turn, the intercooler dissipates up to 20 percent more heat from the charge air - resulting in a denser air charge.
A green light on the instrument panel indicates the system’s readiness. SuperCooler is activated automatically when the driver depresses the accelerator to a wide-open-throttle position.
"This technology plays directly into the hands of the enthusiast," Coletti says. "The SuperCooler provides the edge for the driver, and it is done simply by taking advantage of the hardware that already exists in the vehicle."
As a result of this cool technology, the SVT Lighting concept can give its driver as much as 50 transient horsepower for short bursts of 30-45 seconds and regenerate within 2 minutes under normal driving conditions. While its effect is similar to that of an aftermarket nitrous oxide system, the SuperCooler is completely self-contained, environmentally friendly and regenerative.
Believe it or not I thought about if this was possible a long time ago but I figured that since the a/c takes up power it would just offset the effects of the cooling of the air to the engine. Still it is one of the best ideas I've ever heard to make a car go faster.
