Congrats! You're gonna love it soon if you dont already. I bet as soon as you put a cat-back on it, you'll be like the rest of us and rev the **** out of it when you go through a tunnel, under a bridge, or below an overpass.... (guilty) How much faster does it feel then the Lightning? Got any mods planned? Pics?

Yea. they are right. I was low 13s on 15psi and FTVB Cat-Back. But it starts to get pretty expensive to go much faster than the mid to high 12s in my opinion. There is a 10.60 Lightning a friend has, and he could probably buy a small home for what he has in it..lol. Awsome trucks tho!
