NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............i had a buddy who bought one, they are sluggs, the clutches suck and they are incredibly so very expensive, the stock exhaust is alright, dont even look at lt prices, and just header back exhaust is like 2k, i know its got the viper eng. but its a heavy ass truck, it moves but you'll want to go faster eventually , and theres limited options and all them ,......you guessed it expensive, oh and not that the lightining is winning gas mileage aWARDS but any kind of playin with the throttle and your lookin at 6-8 mpg but if your gentle that number jumps to a staggering, 11-13mpg, and salvage title truck for 15k, thats gonna bite u in the ass when u try to sell it.....and thats my.02centavos, cunjao! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

SALVAGE
15k is too much, that truck will be worth 8k by the time you sell it. Viper v10 is not easy to maintain, and you must maintain it. No warranty FFFFFFFuuuuuu ck that.
Go find yourself a 02-04 Ford Lightning at that price with a clean title and more potential and real towing. I dont believe that one is rated to tow anything, so it's basically a new age Syclone but with more truck bed.
Lightnings are rated to tow and do a real good job at it.

If I ever bought a lightning the first thing I would do is put a 6 speed froma cobra in it. I like the dodge over the l for that exact reason. And I'm not gonna buy a sort truck trying to conserve gas let's be honest

I could swing my Gen 2 lightning even with the auto, drive them both and you'll find out which one you'd rather have. That dodge truck does get smoked by a stock Gen 2 consistently. You can get a Gen2 to 450 HP with bolt ons, pully and tune. Then if you go whipple or KB its over. Just saying,

Well the L gets like 17 at freeway speeds with cruise on real numbers.. And srt guys are recording mid to low 20's freeway driving.
I think will pass on it because it is salvage title but I would still pick this over the L. You have to be biased as fuck to think a L is better than this truck though. I mean let's be real.

You gotta be ignorant as fuck if you havent driven both and found the lightning to be the better all around truck. I might be a ford homer but NOTHING competes with the gen 2 lightnings in regards to performance trucks. Why do you think they stopped making those trucks? Joe Gibbs edition would be a better option than the SRT10, the dodge pickup is a joke. Even the Harley 4 door trucks are a better option cause they can TOW, like a truck is supposed to.

Call me short sighted but I would buy a truck for it's functionality which is hauling and towing, performance would be secondary. If you're considering a truck for it's performance with no functionality, why don't you just consider a Shelby!!
Stick with your original thoughts on the F-250 and keep your Mustang for performance. You'll be much happier and more versatile.

I wouldn't buy it.
1. It's got some miles on it. Probably hard miles... That would help explain the reason for the suspension being replaced on one side ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
2. It's a salvage title so your not going to get much for it when you decide to sell it later on.
3. These trucks aren't that fast/heavy. Viper parts aren't exactly cheap either. I also believe these have an iron block opposed to the vipers aluminum block.
