I think '03 was the last year because when they changed to the larger and heavier new body style for '04 they didn't want throw the extra weight on the already heavy truck. Nice kill, btw. I love those trucks. Almost traded the Z for on once.

meh, the later lightnings usually run in the 13.5-13.7 range(given good weather, and it isnt the middle of summer anymore), and respond well to bolt ons, especially on the intake side. mid to low 13s would be a good race for a mostly stock ls1, given an average driver.

^Haha you make me laugh with your desperation to make any Ford product look good. Lightnings are cool but no match for a LS1 car, it takes a pullied lightning to match a stock f-bod. Ive seen stock lightnings race stock ls1 f-bods and it is funny as hell especially from a roll, LS1>heavy trucks.
