They make around 480-500lbs of torque bone stock but ford just rated them very low. Can be very deadly from a dig. One of the reasons why people race them from a roll.

I'm not going to get into a war because the LS1 is faster stock for stock but this is the reason why they're deadly from a dig.. Don't believe me? Watch this video

Top speed on the stock lightning is about 147. A lightly modded lighting might do 152. The SS should do around 160.
There is no way you could have lost a race to 140. You would have been 3-4 mph faster (judging by your writing) at 140 and he would have only been creeping to his top speed.
Poor choice for a race on his part.

winner! or a mercedes, or some other exotic car, honestly my girlfriend know my car is pretty fast, but she absolutely hates getting into it, because its just so hard to hop in, you gotta like do a little limbo stretch your back out and then get the lean down just to get into the car. and even worse in close quaters parking lots because the doors are soo damn long.

We'll were good friends and We raced my bolt on LT1 car vs his Stock Lightning and pulled him up top. So he wanted a re-match it was just a friendly race and he likes running his mouth....needless to say he hasnt ran his mouth latly.

I see what you're saying but with the hp/tq you can gain with them for little money you'll be in the 11's easy. If you like the drag strip the Lightning is one of the best bang for bucks out there.

We have a custumer with an 2001, Stock with drag radials it went low low 14's. NO BS. Then long tubes slicks, cold air induction, plugs, and Johny Lighting tune and 110 octane, went mid 13's. They are not that strong. Considering they are boosted! I have seen many most are mid 14's to mid 13's. By the way when you only run 99-101 in the quarter who cares that much about areodymamics
I was a Ford tech for 12 years, and I accually like lightnings! NICE KILL!!!

Sorry, see:
Silverado SS
454SS
RAM SRT-10
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Plus, if you think about it, only 9's for the lightning? After being around this long they're not out of the 9's yet? Aren't there any with built old school FEs or 460s faster than that?
