SVT is showing a Ranger with Lightning drivetrain components (engine, trans, narrowed rear end) at Detroit’s 50th Autorama. I didn’t have a camera. Can someone post pictures?

 

I will take some this weekend when i go.

 

There was a yellow Splash there a few years ago and it was called "Thunder" It has the Gen 1 drivtrain in it. Pretty sweet looking little truck.

Mines still faster !!

 

Get those pix !!!!!!!!! i wana see what this bad boy look's like !! i love my little 94 Ranger splash reg cab 4.0 with a Vortech kit.. But i would love to get a sick Ranger that will take the power cause the Ranger Auto Trans Sux !!!!!! this guy i no went through like 5 of them befor he got a Mustang trans put it .. i allways thought the splash looked like a Jr.Lightning atleast mine does.. so get tho pix !!!!

 

So what are they gonna call this truck?? Static Electricity!! So if they make this truck faster than the Lightning they will have to put a bigger power plant in the Gen 3 Lightning!!!

 

A little teaser!
Check out the width of the rear tires.


345x35x18

 

Here are some more.

 

A few more too.

 

Interior shot. It's a little dark (whole lot)


I took a lot of photo of this vehicle top and bottom. The long tube headers, the exhaust system and the front and rear suspension. It was so new and fresh that the paint had not fully cured. Ah the buzz you can get from fresh paint plus the looks of this truck.

P.S. This is the 50th Anniversary of Autorama and is perhaps the best one that I have attend (been going since 1964). Some of the finest past Ridler Award Winners and Alexander Brothers cars on display. Great show.

 

that intake and blower are beautiful!!!!!!!!!they will never make that too many people would kill themselves!!!

 

HOLY SNIKIES!!!!! COOL!!!!!!!!

 

Now that would make a fun little grocery getter. Did the re-route the intake tract to clear the hood? Thought it was a rear entry blower at first. The color matched engine parts look great. That must be one very short drive line.

 

Ill buy it in a heart beat as long as its 40 k and under !!!!!
