two words: MUSCLE CAR.
It will never die, and always has its place. These trucks with big motors are no different philosophically than the original 60s muscle cars--big motors in pedestrian chassis.
I have driven the SVT Lightning extensively on a road course, and can tell you it is a real scream. Sure, it's not faster around than a F360, but the giggle factor is unbeatable. It is a well-balanced sports car, er... truck. Sliding around turns, unwinding the supercharger at the apex, you just can't help grinning and thinking "there is NO way a truck should be able to do this!"
To all the naysayers out there--Don't knock it till you've tried it!
(ps--of COURSE I'd rather have the 360 on my garage!)
