I think on the highway there not the fastest thing. From a 20 mph roll my buddy in his mooded L. gains about half a car than like at 80-100 I'll reel him in.

Good kill. I like lightnings though. I wouldn't mind to add one to my stable haha. I got to drive my friends when i was only 19. I had a v6 camaro at the time. I felt like i was in a space shuttle in the lightning haha.

good kill with all the extras. im with everyone else, they arent your 40-160mph races. more like stop light to 80 or something. i've ran several that had everything but new blowers and were pigs on the highway. although my car isnt a stock camaro but still. they are cool truck none the less

I ran one on the interstate one night... I was in a CAI/Catback LT1 A4 with 2.73s....revved a few times and stuck it down to 2nd... He ripped away from me with no effort and detonated a few yards in front of me. Oil went all over the highway, my window and hood... not to mention parts of his engine (shooting out the exhaust) left some nasty *** marks, scratches and dents in the hood. 
If he hadn't blown up he would have waxed my *** bad!...

i used to owne an 04 lightning and honestly can say it was the most fun (not fastest)vehicle ive ever owned. from a dig stock i would hang nose to nose with f-bodies and m6 04-05 GTO's i would edge pull on them as they would shifted gears but as you get closer to 80mph they really start slowing down. i dont like ford's but those trucks are awesome and its amazing how fast they can wear out rear tires.
