Nice kill. I would have liked to hear what would have happened off the bottle. I would wager it being pretty close.

Nice kill. I've yet to come across a stupid fast Lightning, but I know they're out there. I guess I'll just have to look harder.

- yep, not too many high 11 L's running aroud in street trim. LOL Most 'modded' ones are in the 12s...from what I've gathered.

I have only run one L and a Harley SC truck. Most of the L's I see at the track run mid 13's, not much of a challenge for a 12 second car. Come to CA, I'll run ya and I promise I won't even hit the bottle

They are quick....went out to the track in Temple with a few of my Buick guys running the GN's and had a Lightning club come in with about 30 trucks. I only saw 2 of the whole group break 12's and they were absolutely killer looking, and sounding. The rest seemed to hover in the mid 13 area or higher.

I lined up against the fastest one on my last tune run in my GN and he did well running a 11.20'ish time which is damn fast for a truck.
