Ford SVT F150

Here's the basic description: The Lightning is based on the short-wheelbase, standard cab, flareside, two-wheel drive version of the F-150; in other words, the littlest one. Under the hood goes a 5.4-liter SOHC V-8, suitably pumped up with a supercharger and intercooler, and cranking out a not-inconsiderable 380 horsepower at 4,750 rpm and 450 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,250 rpm. It's fitted with a four-speed automatic, and the final drive is 3.73:1 with a hefty 9.25-inch ring gear working on a limited-slip differential.

There are big vented disc brakes at all four corners, 12.1-inch diameter in front with twin-piston calipers, 13.1-inch in the rear with single-piston calipers (the rear discs are larger to accommodate a parking brake mechanism within the inner diameter), and ABS is standard equipment. The suspension is suitably lowered and firmed up, with big Bilstein shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars. Wheels are five-spoke 18 x 9.5-inch, mounting unidirectional Goodyear Eagle F1-GS tires, sized P295/45ZR18.
