Your comparing apples and orange here.

An 8.0L motor, and a 5.4L supercharged motor.

The L doesn't produce even close to 500 HP, try 380. The new ones they claim will do 450, there is only a concept out. You can assume the production vehicle will be toned down a bit. It's half the price, the new one will be faster then 13.8.

This really isn't cost efficent. It's going to be 50-60k for this truck. It's still a dodge, and for 500hp, it's certianly isn't fast. It's cool looking, but if I were buying a truck to haul ass down tracks and all over town, with the track record the new Cobras have (1500 bucks in mods and the will run low 11's - It's the same 5.4L supercharged in the L.) it would be a Lightning.
