so you guys want mnore clues, here you go.
Its definately not a lightning, I looked into getting one but insurance was to high and the initial purchase price was to high (when I turn 25 I'll buy one).
Curb weight should be in the 4000lb range. Its got 2 doors and 2 seats. Sits about 10" off the ground and this one should give it away to those that know thier muscle cars. It was based on "The Little Red Express" but it turned out faster.
Thats it for clues right now.
Oh yeah and it defintaly doesn't have a towing package, though it could pull some weight if need be.

okay given that the SRT is a concept vehicle I would have to answer no to that one, though I sometimes wish.

I assume it's some kind of Dodge truck from the late 70's. But I'm not an expert in those so I won't bother trying to guess. :)

My new guess = BWM M5 - the 3.92 gears.
Nevermind.
STV Lightning = 380HP, so not possible.

I've already supplied the dead giveaway you gotta know car basics than you should know the answer. Oh yeah if I were to achieve the same efficiency as a 400hp SC I would have 620hp.

Ryan is corect!!
She's a pristine 98 regular cab Dakota R/T. Bone stock in every way except the addition of a roll pan and hard toneau cover.
For now all I'm going to do is add a set of U/D pulleys, a K&N and perhaps some nice black aluminum mopar valve covers. By the end of summer I hope to have headers, pcm, better exhaust and a larger TB on board. So far I have no complaints, the truck pulls hard and is useful as a truck. Guzzles gas but hardly any worse than the good ole SC.

I test drove a R/T in '98. My insurance was going to be to much so never bought. It's real nice truck, tight, nice sraight line speed, ruuber into 2nd & 3rd(I know there were all auto).
Enjoy the ride, I'm looking forward to seeing it. What clour is it?
