Got smoked......twice! The first time, I was beside a lightning. We were both going about 60mph, I threw some revs at him. we both punched it. He killed me by about 8 truck lengths. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />
The second time, I was beside a civic with a bunch of gauges going about 35mph. We both punched it. He left me by about 5 car lengths. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Come to find out, my friend knows the guy in the civic and he has every bolt-on possible, some engine work and 100 shot of nitrous.
I'll get my rematch in 3 months when I have an intercooled magnacharger w/ 10lbs. of boost and headers! I'll kick both their asses!

Re: Got smoked......twice! No problems with Lightnings here yet. I haven't seen one run less than a 13.2. I'm sure they are out there though. Still, 13.2 is badass for a tank.

Re: Got smoked......twice! all the lightnings ive seen lose traction bad when punching it from a roll, i can never understand how people say they have great traction.
