Yup. Itchy right foot, SRT10 owners just floor it and the Lightning is gone. If you'll notice in any of the videos, the SRT10 is just spinning tires, then when they shift it is very jerky. I ain't pointing fingers here, but you have to look at the type of people that can afford the SRT10... not exactly what you would call experienced in the arts of racing.

yeah, but damn...I shouldnt see a SRT10 get smoked by a lightning like its standing still...I guess i wish i could see more vids of a SC SRT10 destroying a lightning...Because in the end, it took ford to SC that engine to be comp for the SRT10...

Oh boy, the people that race those things already can't drive them, hate to see what happens with an extra 180hp on tap...

The lightnings are just so light compared to the SRT-10, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't own an SRT-10, even if the Lightning is more affordable. And I WOULDN'T roll my truck in a burn out attempt....
