Default Lightning Bolt concept

Hey any body ever see the lightning bolt concept truck a few years ago? It was a sonic blue regular cab stepside ranger, with a lightning supercharged 5.4 drivetrain. I think Jack Roush built it for SVT but I'm not exactly sure. I saw it on car and driver or motortrend tv or something. The guy that was doing the test drive couldn't get enough of the smokey burnouts from just mashing the pedal to the floor. I think they ran a 12.8 or something spinning WAY past the 60 ft. Probably the Coolest, most badass concept I have ever seen. If that would have turned out to be a production truck, I probably would have sold all my vehicles just to own that one. With that kind of power in a 3000lb. package, WOW. Throw on some slicks and start slaying every hot rod in site. I'll see if I can find a pic off the net.

Found all the info on it on Musclemustangsandfastfords.com. After I thought about it I couldn't get it out of my head. I don't think I have seen the thunder. I'll have to look That up too. How do you post pics from "MY PICTURES" to this site?

They shortened the Lightning rear end, and widened a set of L wheels, and i believe put 345s on the back of it. They had to do a ton of work to get the motor and drivetrain to fit.
