Here's my shoping list in order I'd just procede down the list till I ran out of money or the Truck looked like a Green Dakota version of the Oreca Lemans Vipers.

1 18"x10" BBS ACR Rims on all corners.
2 Viper Front Disks
3 Dif., rear suspension and brakes from Viper.
4 Race stance lowered to the ground adjustable Koni's (Take it to Archer Racing to maximize the chassis)
5 Carbon fiber Hood
6 bulletproof 340 from DLI Magnum R/T heads using tuneable EFI.

Then I'd see ya on the C&D onelap of America, followed by the Silverstate chalenge.

sigh, time to go check the couch cusions for 25k or more!

Why buy a lightning that has a supercharger, when you can buy a supercharger kit(and have 20k+ left) and be faster than a lightning, look better, and suprise more people at the track.

I'd get a 5.7hemi or bigger
turbocharge the hell out of it
then make it look like a cross between intense's dak, and sin-cits dak only in Flame Red.

Then i'd get some v6 emblems and take it to the track :)

would go over all the specifics, but i'm lazy.

I would sell my Dak and use the money for a Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with the new Hemi. I would drop a bigger cam in as soon as one was available and add 14 LBs of boost. Anything left over would go to wards new paint.
