Default SVT Lightning gets some

I am just cruising lost in la la land. I am usually always on high alert aware of all surroundings but at this particular moment, I was off somewhere else(probably thinking about the threesome I had the night before....and then I wake up). I am in a double left turn lane stopped waiting for the light to turn green. I look over and, damn, I am right next to a Lightning. The light turns green and we turn left onto a long road 3 lanes wide. I begin engagement maneuvers. He doesn't bite. I persist and finally he goes with the supercharger straining.....about 45mph roll. He gets a good jump and is movin' out. So I hit it and, while I reel him in and pull him well, it wasn't a rapin' like it had been with other Lightnings. I would guess He was modded because he hung in there well. But we'll never know. We went our seperate ways. Gotta like the Lightnings. Nice truck!

Nice kill. I've run a few L's in my old LS1. I think they all were stock because I pulled on them immediately. Pretty impressive for trucks. No doubt about that.

nice kill, that was pretty impressive of the Lightning to hang in there. I wonder what the owner has done with it.

That would be cool. You would probably get me from a dig unless I could hook it. All the damn streets around here are nice and smooth.....spin city. I haven't raced an F-body in a long time. They just don't seem to have much game around here. I think it is because I have badgered every one of them and now they stay away from me . The Lightning was Black.

Black with Chromies....nice wheels you got there BTW. Yeah, the guy with the yellow ZO6 is Brent. Really nice guy. It is an RSI H/C car. Prolly around 430-440rwhp. He has B&B PRTs......those things on an LS6...I honestly don't think there is a better sounding V8. I better be on my best game If we go at the track. But it'd be fun. I'll look you up. They are closed for a until next weekend.

I honestly don't know. It kinda snuck up on me as you can tell in the story. I usually stalk my prey but this one just fell into my lap. Had I stalked this one I probably would have gotten a better look. But the first time I saw it it was right next to me and then it was......GONE!!!
