Cool Lightning kill in the new setup :)

Just MMOB at a stop light, thumping away with my new cam This red truck pulls up next to me kinda stopping real fast, and i catch the faint whine of a SC. I glance over to check out what it is, and catch eyes with the driver. Appears to be mid 20s, young guy. I kinda smile a little bit to be courteous and he smirks, and says "How cute, another overgrown cavalier". My smile is instantly gone, becuase i was just about to compliment him on a nice truck. I responded with "Lemme know how cute my taillights are". As i finished he gives it a rev, and you can deffinatley hear the SC whine. He says i got DR`s on and your about to get raped. I smirked and looked forward.


Light goes green, i launch at about 3,500 rpm and jump out about a nose. Hit second and start pulling real good. To about 70 i put 3-4 cars on him. He didnt have **** to say, ricer fly bye`s me and then turns off. All with his windows up and not crap to say. Must have been dads truck....

Im sure it was atleast pulley/exhuast. SO i am very happy with the new setup

You heard the supercharger whine? Interesting, since I only hear it whine when I am really on it, never hear it at idle. Well it could have been cogged...

Good kill though, a ported/pullied Lightning is a mid to low 12 second truck.

I never said i heard it at idle, he came flying up to the light, basically slidding up to the light lol. I THINK he was going to try and run the yellow untill he saw the goat.Thats why i said faint, instead of roar lol.When he revved it, revved it hard. I wasn`t quite sure, thats why i was looking to see what it was.

Ive seen enough run infront of me to know how shitty they are. All motor hondas run around those things man. I mean ive seen a local dudes Turd CRX with a stock ITR swap on E85 with bent exhaust valves lol walk one from a dig. Obviously one with a turbo or a buncha **** will eventually be fast, anything will be fast with enough money. But in stock form and most of the time without an extra power adder there garbage.

I ran one with slicks and skinnys and got him by about 4 cars I was spinning from the light pulling away from him, he said he runs high 11's (not sure on his mods) and he made me pull over because he just couldn't belive a all motor LS2 beat him we were in a gas station for about a hour why he look all over lol. Most lighting drivers are like that. But that being said I'm currently whiling for a lightning for a daily.
