600-HP SRT truck for 2008?

Has anyone else seen this? If it truly makes the cut and ends up on the showroom floor as a 600-HP truck that is going to be one bad mofo. I truly wonder what Ford is doing right now. Are they planning any type of remake for the Lightning? I gave up on GM a long time ago in regards to a factory performance truck similar to the two listed above. I like my Hemi SWB/SC but believe my next one will be a Cummins or Duramax TD. Too much power readily available and after watching my buddy lay dang near 1000-ftlbs of torque at the wheels with just a few mods I am SOLD on the oil burners!!!

I wonder if they are going to continue the SRT-10 truck series. If they do and that motor ends up in there......... Good grief!!!

The SRT-10 truck needs help, a mild modded lightning will hand it its a$$ pretty easily. My buddy has a viper truck, and the GN WORKED it, and thats just a TA49 (.82)on 12 lbs, 3"DP, 2.5" exhaust and a 1992 Red Armstrong chip. Imagine on REAL boost how bad it'd have been!
