"lightning Only Strikes Twice"

As per December '06 Car & Driver page 36:

LIGHTNING ONLY STRIKES TWICE
"It won't be called the Lightning,but Ford's sporty version of the F-150 pickup truck, dubbed the F-150 FX2 Sport,gets a supercharged V-8 just like the dearly departed Lightning.Using parts from Ford Performance catalogs,Ford engineers created a supercharged 5.4 liter V-8 that,according to Ford,produces 425 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheels.Although it is only bound for the show circuit,Ford is quick to point out that "any enthusiast could build it with parts from the Ford racing and Genuine Ford Accessories catalogs." "

For the price it would cost to build that, I'll happily find something else...
