Yeah it is.

And in your case, it's a good move

According to Car and Driver, 5.2 seconds 0-60 from the factory. For a pickup, that's a rocket ship.

Seeing these are limited production, that's one that would be on my don't go crazy on the mods and potentially keep it for a lifetime list. Being a muscle truck and the mere fact it is a truck, its not going out of style anytime soon and will draw the attention of motorheads for years to come.

Right now it gets more MPG than my jeep and I'd like to keep it like that, and like I said(and can't believe I said it, I really am getting old)it is fast enough. It'll grab 100 just as it shifts out of second biggrin.gif , and that's more than enough to get me in trouble.

829 miles in a year and a half? i've only had my bike 2 months and i've not gotten to ride it but just a few times due to circumstances, but i have over 900.

it's a nice looking truck. it looks low so i'm ASSuming it's 2wd? doesn't it snow a lot in jersey?

Actually because of our proximity to the coast(40 mi), it doesn't snow as much as you'd think(that being said watch it snow 3 ft this winter), the weather systems that come off of the ocean are the ones that hit us heavy. But fear not we still have 1 Jeep, my wife drives a Liberty. thumb.gif

if your looking to mod it, the lightnings respond very well to an upgraded supercharger pulley, cold air intake, full exhaust, and a tuner. with this setup you'll be looking at close to 460
