This is a tough choice for me. I think the SRT10 looks the beefiest, but I love the Lightning, Raptor, and the Syclone too. For speed obviously the Lightning and the Syclone would be the top choices. The Raptor is awesome for off road use. The Silverado SS is my least favorite of the group. I really have to think this over carefully before voting.. :thumbs_up:

Syclone by far. First of all, no one knows about them. And when lined up with one, youd definitely be scratching your head asking yourself how a little truck like that walked all over you. The SS just isnt impressive at all, and the others are known to be fast already.

I love the Syclone because it's so unique and has a great sleeper vibe - it would definitely be my #1 choice. The Raptor is next because I would love to have a capable off road vehicle. Next would be the Lightning because it can be modded so easily. The SRT10 is fantastic looking, but I've heard this shifter is hard to operate and it's not as easily modded as a Lightning. The Silverado SS would be my last choice because to me it's basically just a normal Silverado that Chevy through the SS badge on... It's probably the most capable vehicle as far as an actual truck goes, but what fun would that be :bigthumbsup:

We are talking trucks here. Any truck that can haul some a$$ both on road and off, come on. That truck will probably be in the 15's with that 6.2 or better and that in itself is impressive for a truck with 35" tall tires. Throw a blower on it and look out. Besides, you may win on pavement by a few second but I would win by a few minutes in the dirt. Lightning next, hey I am a Ford guy but the full side f-150 for my fitment also helps. The syclone is a nice truck and a huge sleeper. I like them but I would want a bigger truck form my fata$$. SRT 10, who would not want a V10? Should be faste IMO though. SS, lamest "fast" truck ever. I watched a motor week or something back when they came out and then said they really do not handle that much better than a normal truck. Week truck compared to all the rest here!
