    I'd say the SVT Lightning ultimately won as it ended up being the most successful, but the GMC Syclone was probably the best because of how fast it was relative to what was available at the time.

      The SVT was hot garbage. The original SVT was made to beat the original 454ss with the 3-speed, and when the 4-speed 405ft/lbs 454SS hit the streets, it demolished the SVT. Ford then waited 5 years to come out with the SC SVT, and by that time muscle trucks were dead, and it STILL couldn't match the 1/4 mile of the Syclone 10 years later. The SVT sold terribly because it had a 5k towing capacity and a TINY bed. Meanwhile, GM knew what people really wanted and came out with the Silverado 6.0 SS. Sporty truck, with AWD, and 345hp, but in a package that could still act as a truck and towing 7800 lbs and has a full-size bed. Then, in 2008 GM did it again with the 403hp 6.2L GMC Sierra that was unmatched for years and would walk a SC SVT every day while towing 10k lbs.

    I had a regular 91 S10 with the 4.3L vortec and it was a blast to drive. No weight in the back and an insane amount of torque made slides and burnouts easy. If you could get the grip it was quick as hell from a stop but struggled to reach 70 mph. When you revved the engine the whole body would rock slightly. I couldn't even imagine what that truck would have been like turbo charged.

As far as the transmission, I am still watching the field to see what R&D finds out about the engine and the types of transmissions you need to handle over 800ftlbs of Torque

BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME TRUCK! The SS/T had a factory shift kit in it and it handeld like like a dream! And the 5.9 Tune Port High Output 5.9 is a BEAST when it comes to top end! I Love running up on stock Vets and fly by them and watch them try to catch up to me! GOOD TIMES, I need to get it back out it hasn't been on the road since 2011? My house burnt and it was parked next to it and popped some of the glass melted some of the rubber on it? So I went and bought me a 2005 Dodge Daytona and haven't got around to fixing it?

    One of my favorite cars in my collection is my 89 shelby dakota with 12k original miles. I bought it when I was stuck in Nashville for a week because of a snow storm. I had an empty trailer and craigslist, and what would you know, another shelby to add to the collection! I like parking it next to my 14 shelby baja 700 raptor, they are both trucks, but on totally different ends of the spectrum.

    You know what? My friends were saying one important thing over the years: Monster and muscle trucks were always becoming cult classics. In fact they're still driven on the road. Plus, seen on dozens of both features and television shows including the long-running Emmy nominated "A-Team" (1983-1987) for Universal Television and Cannell Entertainment.

    Nolan, as a mopar boy you should know the slant6 was much older than emissions regs. It was the base engine they could sell to elderly people as a reliable runabout, you didn’t get into performance until you hit 318 ci and a 4 barrel carb which was 2 steps up. Real power hit at 340, with a 6 pack which I believe was 1969/1970, and then you got the big blocks/HEMI in select A-bodies, B-bodies, and most C-Bodies throughout from 1964 (technically 63.5 suck it ford) to 1971 (HEMI DED) and 78 (440 DED)

    NICE you showed bandimere speedway!!!!!! I live about 10 minutes from there and have been going there my whole life! Unfortunately it's going to become a memory in everybody's mind due to the fact that they are building houses literally everywhere around the track. You might ask why that matters and it's because the fun hating yuppies that already live by it have petitioned multiple times to have it closed down due to noise as if they didn't already expect that when they moved in next to a nhra drag strip and with as many homes that are being built it's only a matter of time before they force the bandimere family to sell it off or risk not getting any money for the land and still having to close the track its a really sad situation if that happens which I feel like it's only a matter of time

It had Edelbrock intake, 4-barrel carb, headers, etc. Had many things happen with that truck, one of them being the exhaust pipes rusting off(or maybe they broke -- I used to jump hills. Don't advise, lucky I didn't kill anyone). You would not believe the noise of open headers. I'd have to yell to any passengers even driving slowly up a hill. Basically sounded like a quarter mile dragster. I was very happy to have some 2.5" exhaust and turbo mufflers installed.
