thats pretty cool, I like it a lot. The only thing I might change is make the exhaust just a bit bigger.

A non-S/C version will also be available that will make 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.

eh, if want a vehicle with 450 HP, it'll be a mustang. I still don't understand why people want high HP 2WD trucks. If you want to go fast, why not just buy a fast car?

I kind of agree. The Lightning was pretty cool but I don't I ever would have bought one. Same with this truck.

I'm not much on high HP trucks but I do think Saleen did a better job on the F150 than on the 'Stang IMHO

I like the sides, but the front and back need a touch up.

I like the fact they did an extended cab. that way a child seat can go in there still. God I am growing up

I actually like the shifter on the console.

I like it, this coming from a ROUSH guy too. Hey, these days I'll take my Ford horsepower from tuners if I have to, with all this SRT business going on, at least its a Ford with horsepower!

I like the truck, as far as why would someone want a HP Truck, some of us are old enough to know we don't want to drag the seat out of our pants driving. You can get comfort and speed at the same time with this truck.
