how fast is a stock ford lightning?

are they 14.5 ish?

 

my stock 2000 svt lightning ran 13.75 100mph in the 1/4

 

i would say 14 flats stock....

the thing is with the lightnings someone could say they were stock and youd never know the difference,change a supercharger pulley and a tune and those things ran pretty good..

 

what is pretty good ... ish

 

come on dude my truck was stock 355 gears stock pulley no tune stock air box stock exhuast my buddys 2004 svt lighting ran a 13.71 stock with a couple of miles i have no reason to be lying dude

 

I saw a stock Lightning the other weekend at the track running high 13's.

 

thank u Sof86, i dont want to be a d..k im just answering what he ask will i dont have my lightning any more i sold it i own a 96lt1 and proud of it

 

theres one where i live that is running mid 12's with bolt on and a different pulley.

 

Obviously faster than you

 

Asking how fast is a Lightning is like asking how much does it cost to go out and eat? They are all over the board. My 2000 model was one of the slowest ones...it went 9.13 in the 1/8th mile bone stock. My buddy had a 2001 and it went 8.7x bone stock, and 8.30 with nothing but a chip. Stock tires, stock air filter. Nothing but a chip. I would say his was one of the stronger ones.

A couple mods like a chip and pulley and they can be pretty quick.

 

From the posts it seems the Lightning runs high 13's stock. Does that not answer the question?

 

Damn lightnings love to puke their rods all over the track.

 

had to fix one that spit out a plug also..

 

I get 363rwhp and 430ft/lbs on Vincennes University's chassis dyno with my stock 2003 Lightning. I have seen a best of 13.2 1/4 mile on 295/45 ZR18 street tires. The truck just tripped 100,000 miles and I need new plugs. After them, I will install a tune from my Diablo tuner and hope for about 400rwhp and 12.7's with a truck that tows 5000lbs. Do that with a Camaro or Mustang.

 

My friend has one that runs low 11's, and it looks bone stock.

 

My buddy ran 9s in his and won the NMCA back in 06

 

Got a buddy with a 93. Last time it was at the track he was asked to not come back until it had a cage certified to 8.50's. Ran bottom 10's spinning well past the 660 mark. Made for quite a show though. Btw, long way from stock.

 

does anyone care about this post?

 

01-04 had a small power bump over the 99-00 lightnings. Not sure if it made much of a difference, but they are easily 13 second trucks stock. Faster than lt1s generally.

 

Is the OP going to tell us WHY he wants to know about a lightning???
