typeR, I think the Ford is being OVERLY conservative with those numbers because of all of the trouble they got into with overrating the HP specs on the GTs a while back.

Check out the following article for the awful truth about the Lightning.

They are real fast, and the 2001 Lightning is going to have 380hp ...up 20. A few bolt on goodies and that truck is 400hp+

There is guy with a black one near me, with stainless grill inserts, tint all around....I'm waiting to run him off the road in the Viper- since the Acura has no chance

WTF, "0-100-0 mph 22.5 seconds"
so, how the Quarter mile 14.6 seconds @ 97 mph is possible! it needs 7.9s to go from 97 mph to 100 mph! These numbers are BS.
