Return of the Supercharged Ford F-series pickup....last month!
Did anyone else miss this?? 
5 months is an amazingly short time to bring out something like this even though the powertrain was done even before Coletti retired.

Ford didn't even wait for the 2008 model year to bring back a supercharged pickup.
After showing off an aftermarket version of the pickup at a Las Vegas trade show in November, Ford gave the project the green light. In April, the 450-horsepower 2007 F-150 Harley Davidson edition truck was available.

Pretty cool but I can get just over 400hp out of a Sierra Denali and it doesn't perform all that great. I doubt the extra 50hp in this is going to do much - especially since IIRC the F150 is usually heavier than the GMT-900s... or is it not? Count me out of the 'excited' column until they offer this motor in a more basic standard cab 2WD truck.

i had heard about it, because our dealership has had 2 of them, but i really didnt get all that excited. I kinda doubt it is a performance orented truck like the lightning, but then again maybe it is 
. I just assumed it was a dressed up f150 with a blower bolted on the old 5.4.

This could be considered a stopgap until the Lightning comes, if approved. It isfar from a done deal from what I hear.

You mean the supercharged previous-gen body style? Why didn't it make sense? IIRC, They ran about 14 flat in the 1/4-mile and were just some tuning and pulley swap away from 12s, right? Plus they were 'relatively' inexpensive compared to what this Harley truck will without a doubt cost.
