This weekend, I raced a Lightning in my 02 Firehawk. It wasn't very pretty. We ran two runs and the first one, he spanked the hell outta me. He beat me by about 4 cars. He had on some slicks, so I kinda figured he would launch all over me. Second run, he got me by about 2 cars. I ended up getting next to him when we finnished and asked him if his truck was even stock. He said "maybe a lil bit." Turns out he had a different pully and some other crap in it. So I'm planning on meeting up with him again out there and he better believe that I'm gonna have a lil spray for him. Wish me luch .

 

A little giggly gas should do the trick. Maybe pick up some tires so yo can really lay the smack down on his ***. Those lightnings are damn fast!!! The 2k3's were rated at like 450lbft of torque werent they?

 

Lightnings are fun to play with. If you think they can launch, let's play with my Syclone or Typhoon.

 

Those can be quick. Good luck.

 

Not sure on torque ratings but they the 01+ dyno 340rwhp stock

 

Well he told me that it was running 12's at the track. I didn't even ask if it was low, mids, or high 12's. I'm assuming high 12's considering he only beat me by about 2 cars the second race. And my car's completely stock. For now

 

I'm thinkin he should be in the mid 12's with the basic mods and slicks. My Sy will be in the 12's after about $1500 and on street tries.

 

I respectively disagree that mid twelves are in order for that vehicle described (anti-light-ing). A lot of weight to move around. Not to take anything away from the motor and power it makes, just don't want to believe a f-ing pickup truck would beat me that bad at the strip or streets.

 

care to see what these big *** trucks can do???
there is already a 9 sec streetable Lightning running around in that area. as for mine it doess fine on the street clocking high elevens. not to shabby for my daily beater work truck.

 

Good "Luch".

 

My Cobra will be in the low 7's once I pull the motor and drop in a fully built 390ci SBF with a 106mm turbo.

 

OMG....

 

I've seen them run high 12's at the track with pulley. The L described above had slicks on, so, I imagine it was hooking damn well.

 

He he he. You caught that too?

Good Luck.

 

I've raced a couple of stock lightning's from a roll before and I immediatly started to pull on them. This one just kept pulling on me. Kinda sad huh . What cracked me up too is that some guy asked me if I wanted one of his buddies to race my car for me against the Lightning after I lost the first time against the Lightning.

 

Nice!

 

man i would have been kinda pissed if someone said that to me.

 

I hate mustangs.

 

I'm kinda curious as to what relevance this has to the thread?









Good death to the poster. Ls are pretty easy to get into the mid12s on tires. Sweet trucks IMO.

 

Thats freaking funny
