Eh not sure man, ive seen some run in front of me and ive been like wtf? they had atleast exhaust done to it. Its usually some cocky asshat who owns one.

It just means that a lot of the lightning owners lie about mods which in turn causes a lot of people that don't know much about this truck to try and label them all as being slow... Its cool man!I even thought the same thing for a while but that changed with my *** whoopin.... I think you'll like this vid! Its my fav.. Hahaha

I think you may be right, i mean idk when i saw how slow they were in person i was just blown away. But i guess for a truck they move.

Where are you located?

If your close to south florida im more than happy to try it out with something with similar mods to my car, i have an SLP lid. Like i previously said im sure with alot of mods they can be fast, that applys to anything. But from what ive seen infront of me im not very impressed. Until i remember its a truck lol.

I see where this thread is going so I talk some smack, why do all lightning owners claim they have like 800hp??? I say all because I havnt ran across a honest one yet, I don't get talking your power/mods up becuse you look even dumber when you get your *** handed to you. Here's the last lightning I ran he had full exhuast, pulley, tune, built trans, and "other things" not sure what he ment by that but it should pit down about 800hp. Lol his words not mine.

?? stock quarter for the L is 13.4 to 13.6, stock quarter for the ls1 firebird/camaro is 13.1 to 13.6 depending on the driver. so you were saying about them being slow? not being one of those cocky ******** you mentioned just pointing out stock for stock a 4600lb truck holding its own in the 1/4 against a 3200lb car made to drag is impressive, and if the truck is slow then by that logic so is the firebird/camaro.
