Q: the post with the geocities link is a customer of ours who purchased a cover used it and then demanded a full refund with shipping both ways. our return policy allows for the return of products less a restocking fee and the customer is responsible for the shipping costs. that wasnt acceptable to mike so he threatened that unless we provided a full refund of his purchase price he would smear our company and our product in any way he could. when we declined to be blackmailed he started posting false and libelous information about us on web forums. the site linked above is nothing more than a vendetta. the photos are staged. take for example the picture of how much space the cover takes up when folded - he shows a tape measure of over 10 - and then claims were lying when we claim 6 folded room. if you look at the cover - it is not folded all the way! he carefully left the panels with about a 1 gap between them to take up more room. also the tape measure is hooked over the front of the frame which wraps over the bed and takes up no room from the bed length. the rest of his site is just as much rubbish. a fact of irony the posts mike has made all over the web have in fact helped us! our web traffic has never been higher and many people who never would have heard of us otherwise have! it doesnt take much to see through the thinly veiled fabrications in mikes efforts. i would encourage anyone interested to contact us and well take you through mikes site point by point to address his claims. toll free - 877 473-7246 thank you! .

tbone wrote i am thinking about buying the srt 10. my problem is i have spent 5 years working on building my 96 c1500 ext cab chevy truck. i am at the point where all i need to do is finish the motor. all it needs is a whipple super charger. but now i am thinking about the srt 10 since it has everything i want my chevy have. my question is should i sell the older truck and buy an srt. i am looking for opions about the srt. is it worth the money or should i finish the chevy. i have no preference when it comes to trucks as long as it is not a ford. i figure the super whipple would put me at about 480hp. im going to probably piss off the blind loyalty folks but heres my take on it. i looked long and hard at the srt 10. it is a looks like a truly impressive truck but it isnt really a truck. it is quick. now for the down side it will cost around 45k or they did when i was looking last april you cant tow with them you cant put more than 500lbs. in the bed. so say the dealer. warranty issues they say. they only come as a standard which can be a pia if you have to contend with traffic. the srt 10 is a few mph faster top end and a couple of tenths quicker in the quarter depending on what test you read than the lightning. you can tow with the lightning you can put a 1/2 ton in the bed. one other thing you can spend the 15k$ that you save on it on a nice hd you can probably guess that i bought a lightning. love the sound of the blower in the morning sounds like victory.bfg according to the guy on trucks ford is redoing the lightning to match power and speed with the srt10 in 05 or possibly 06 and with that will probably come the same limitations and pricing as the srt10. historically the lightning has had reasonable towing ability and the use of the bed though somewhat limited. why would they change now its the reason the lightning has been popular all along while others have come and gone. great performance and some utility at a reasonable price. i believe that it is a matter of status. for a long time ford was the king and now dodge has something that can beat it in power speed and handling. i believe that if dodge could have created this level of performance and made it fully usable as a truck they would have but as they say there is no such thing as a free lunch so instead they basically redesigned a viper with a truck body. if ford wants to regain its crown and compete with dodge on this level they will have to make some serious changes and give up the actual truck capability and stacy from trucks made it sound like that is their intention. not really tom. all ya have to do is change the pulleys to up the boost. or change the blower to a kb and go with a dyno tune a safer metheod. remember we are only talking a few mph and a few tenths.rumor is a total redesign and more hp some time in 06. roy the lightings close to being maxed out as it is. with their new intercooler that runs off the a/c itll put out some hefty hp. but all the while the srt-10s still loafing. bolt a kb onto an srt-10 and youll kill any lightning. maxed out doubtful but who knows. thing is that you could take some of the approx 15k that you saved in buying a lightning mod it a bit match the srt10 performance and still have a bunch of the 15k leftover. i think that you are dreaming now roy. why would you say that a kb and a flash will make up the difference between the two. i would probably spend 5k at most for that. 10k to go tom. really then do it and get back to me with the results. you havent spent any time in either truck have you doubtful you can notice the difference in performance of the trucks by the sop dyno. you dont have to spend a lot of time in either one to know that the current lightning is no match for the ram srt10. i agree with you that the lightning is the better deal by far but if you want the fastest with the most up potential then the lightning loses. also youd still have a truck that you can tow with and load in other words it would still be useful as a truck. i doubt that. if you up the hp of the lightning to that of the ram srt10 and still keep it streetable and then try to tow or haul with it you are probably going to break something. why do you drive all your hi-po toys at wot all the time dont have to for them to break. if your truck is already close to its max and you push it way above that it will only take one or two times to break it. then again unless you spend your life on a strip the difference in performance isnt all that noticable on the street. actually most would never use all the performance that either truck can produce so it comes down to the 15k difference in price and the the ability to function as a truck. on this we agree but that was not dodges intention. they wanted the fastest truck period and did what needed to be done
