Maybe this has been posted before, but I was reading the back of a Truckin' Magazine and they were listing 1/4 mile times of different trucks. They reported a 2003 Lightning running a 14.68 @ 98.37mph and a 0-60 of 6.37. Something doesn't seem right here...

Maybe the truck had the driver, photographer, editor, and the writer riding along down the track in the bed. :shrug:

If you think Magazines don't favor the biggest advertisers you must be in fantasy land.

Thats what I was figuring because the srt10 won their truck of the year contest. I just really hate having the L misrepresented by so much, shouldn't stock time be closer to a 13.4? I'll have to look up again what they said the dodge ran, but I think they put it in the 14's too
