it's always nice to have a preplanned excuse when you lose.

Even if you don't whine about it, why did you buy it

how much did you spend on your truck to run 11.9's? because you can do it in an f-body for about $3,000. you can buy an LS1 f-body and mod it to beat your truck for $10,000, all while getting better mileage and staying naturally aspirated. what's your point?

That is pretty neat. A 4880lb truck burning an LS1 must be hauling ***.

Its 4880 w/ me in it.

The point is I run the times in a fullsize Truck not a car that you can see 4-5 of them driving down the street. As is the same w/ a mustang. I'd rather be Big Slow and unique, than sleek fast and doing the same thing as countless others.

Why is it you feel so threatend by me? I posted a video of me racing an LS1 against a few cars and you get all upset. Some of you LS1 guys really are jumpy aren't ya.

Sit down, chill, go out for a drive, and return when you calm down.

we're not threatened at all. the point we just made is that you're using your truck's weight as an excuse to why you're only running 11.9's with all that power. the fact that you put the weight in the sig shows that you're whining about it. it's a ford lightning - we KNOW it's heavy. it's a damn truck. why do you have to post the weight? if you're going to complain about the weight, you shouldn't have bought it.

you just proved our point.

If you feel the need to post the weight in your sig, it shows you want everyone to BE SURE we know its heavy.

As if we didnt know. I mean how could we not, the first thing out of every lightning owners mouth is "its a 5000lb truck".

and I can do the same with a First gen mustang..what's your point? You dont' even know what a damn supercharger looks like, and you are talking crap?


If some of you can't respect a DAMN truck running high 11s...you are ignorant, arrogant, brand loyal, or just plain dumb.

As for his sig..I am sure he put that in there to say it as a "yep, high 11s and that is at full rce weight'.........You all dont' talk crap to OTHERs that post their race weight. Why are you giving him crap about it?........given that question..I say you are threatened.
