I was reading Motor Trend or Car and Driver like last month and on the last page it has the L as the fastest production truck :( Did they forget about the Sy?

Maybe they meant STILL in production. And that's only until that new Dodge comes out.

Hmm, well I still don't think the SRT-10 will take a sy from 0-60...but we'll have to wait and see i guess. I just don't see it happening, espically with traction problems with that much power. But again, guess we'll have to wait and see.

According to the numbers I have seen they will beat us in the 1/4 but not the 0-60. I'd like to see the dodge with an AWD version. Also Jeep is supposedly coming out with a 330 or so HP grand Cherokee with a hemi engine. Won't beat the sy/ty but may be an interesting SUV.

ya I have seen the 12.9 sec figure for the 1/4 mile...but don't see any truck coming close 0-60. Point--the syclone is still the quickest truck ever produced.

what fastest means I have no clue??? 1/4 mile, top speed? such a vague term.

funny how the lightening boys won't fall into either catagory. :lol:

Lets see him talk when there are some 10 sec Sys & Tys around.

There are going to be some 10 second Lightnings in Topeka,KS for the Lightning Fest planned September 27&28.

Does anyone have that issue or seen what I am talking about? Also when those magazines did the tests on our trucks do they launch them or just go from the brake to the gas?

I always perceived this as 'Top Speed'. From the factory the L will do 140mph, where our computers shut us down at 126/127.

1/4 mile - It'd be close for sure. I'd have to pick the Sy, but my opinion is slightly biased. :wink:

0-60 - Forget it. My stock L could never come close to what a stock Sy is capable of. 8)

The L guys will talk no matter what. I'v seen it on there boards. MOST don't know what a syty can do. From my experience anyway. :x

technically i think the L is the fastest production truck, and the syty is the quickest, and thats only because the L has a higher top speed, or some shit like that. but then again do you really go up to top speed on the track or street? i thought not! :fist:

SyTy-1
Lightning-0

NEXT!!!!!!

I can't even get one to race me.. I see them all the time and they puss out everytime on the street.. haven't been next to one at the track yet.

bottom line here is that an 11 or 12 year old V6 turbo push rod is too much for a 2k supercharged 5.4L V8 to handle.. .. weak in mind.

I'm taking my L to Atco Friday night (11/29). Slapped a 2# boost pulley on it the other week and want to see if it helped. I'd be happy to line up next to ya and get my doors blown off by a Syclone! ::thumbsup:: Last I heard the high temp is supposed to be 42 and a slight chance of passing flurries.

(And YES, that probably was my Sy on the trailer you saw on 295 a few weeks back! :D )

THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!

These TY/SY guys are really sensitive..I beat that SY badly...He stomped it..I heard it..no doubt..he let off..I have some mods..nothing like the big boys on this site..


So which is it buddy?? Did you race a Ty or a Sy? or were you not able to figure it out from looking at the taillights? On page one you post about running a Ty. By page 3, its all, "I beat that Sy badly?" Is your memory that bad? Are you that stupid? or is your story complete BS cause you had nothing better to talk about.
Get real bro, next time dont post your dreams. you can go back to sucking your thumb now.

happier kills?

happier kills?

If we could just all be thankful for what we have, and not worry about some pipe dream that someone had when they took too much acid. Or maybe it was just one of those races where the lightning was trying to race a vehicle what was turning 2 blocks ahead.

This pic should make us all thankful for what we have - somewhere there are terrified kitties! :fist:

Easterbunny,
Steve ( Typhoonracer) is his own man, can actually run some serious numbers. He can also check and maintain flud levels in his truck. Two things you dont seeem to be bright enough to do. When he talks timeslips, you should listen. When you talk timeslips, we laugh.
