first worthy kill- 03 svt lightning i stalked him 
. i was out cruising in a nearby town and see this guy pass me going the opposite way and stop at a red light. i bust a u-turn (no traffic out tonight). and slowly catch up to him. we play around and he stops at a wawa.
it turns out my friend in the car knows him and we get to talking- it is an 03 with headers/exhaust, pulley (4psi over stock so maybe 12-13psi pulley), and intake. no chip for the pulley though so it is basically un-tuned but he still says it has 450hp and is capable of mid 12's. so naturally i ask if he want to run- he agrees... (keep in mind at this point i figure im toast, check my sig for my times...)
1st race- 3,2,1, go on go right? the idiot has a horrible reaction time and i toast him all the way up to 100mph but i didnt' count that because he was sleeping on the line..
2nd race- i MAKE sure he is going to go on GO- i take him by like 2 cars out of the hole, he catches up to my rear bumper but as i get to the end of 2nd gear he starts to ever so slightly drop back- ending it with him maybe 1/2 car behind my bumper at 100mph. then he turns off
.
guess he didn't want to talk about it afterwards.
. my thinking is the truck was molested as a child, he did mention that he bought it with 6k miles on it but it was already modified and there is a bolt/plug in the top of the supercharger, probably where a fitting for nitrous was used from a previous owner. i think somebody bought it new, sprayed the **** out of it, then traded it in and this poor schmuck got a beat lightning..

believe me- i didn't expect to win, nor do i expect all lightnings to run like his- im still psyched though but i pretty confident his truck SHOULD'VE been running mid 12's, it just wasn't

My buddy has an '01 L with a Kenne Bell blower running I believe 15psi with a diablo tune. He as a full exhaust yet he retains the stock manifolds still. He run's 12.80's @106 with Hoosier slicks and like 1.8 60's. He takes me from a low roll on street tires then I catch him around 80-100 and usually O am pulling on him around 100.
