Lightning vs TA I was out on my way to grab something to eat with my girl and I look in my rear view to see a Lighting (white with blue stripes) ease up behind me at the stop light. A couple seconds go by I hear him reving over my radio. Light turns green and I roll out and move over to the right. My girl yells "He wants some".. and he did. He gets even with me and punches it. Me still bieng in first about 3400rpm, I take off and pull about 1/2 a car on him and run to about 95ish. then shut down. The whole run I dont know who was screaming louder, my girl or the damn blower that was even with my window.
I was really surprised at how fast the lightning was. It really didnt sound stock. But how much hp would it have to have to pretty much stay even with me? mods in sig

the older ones had like 360, and the later had like 380. i dont remember how much torque they have, but its a shitload. i raced one when i was bone stock and we were dead even (from 15 mph roll) until 70 when i put about a fender on him. awesome trucks though.

there torque is like 430 or somethin. truthfully for the outcome of the race he might have been close to stock, maybe a pulley upgrade or something. the blower on those things are loud stock. my boy has an 03 and you can hear his blower whining the whole time.
