i wish i got in sooner

Like I said .. I just sold my 00 .. but it was far from stock .. never took it to the track .. but with stage 2 heads and cams and 4lb lower pulley some other supporting mods etc it layed down 480 to the tires .. and 500 tq .. it would run from a roll with the blower .. but from a dig .. even with full length traction bars .. I could put the truck a bit sideways at 60 mph .. the thing needs pretty much full slicks at least Dr's.. even stockers run close to 14's most of the time .. just from spending time on the lightning forums .. they are heavy and stock they just aren't that impressive .. for a truck yes . in the overall game .. no ...

[DeMello]

are they pretty rare...ive never even really heard of them...i have but just the name (not any stats or bout racing or anythign)

2kGT,

Show some respect bro! no need for name callin' it's all good dude that's why it's a forum, Take a prozac and Chill. I Owned a lightning and a I have a GT now and had one then, I'm Telling you without a doubt, I have handed GT, Z-28's, and others thier be--hinds especially from a roll. Have you ever raced one? Have you ever seen one? other than it's tail lights.. I thought not.
They are fairly common here in the detroit metro area, and I have never seen one stock for very long! The Kids sayin' stock but is that just on sight? It could be pullied, tuned, who knows? but the fact of the matter is even a mustang with those mild mods and your GIANT ego still wont change the fact that you will lose.

[mustangjl]

what about my brother 2003 mustang cobra with full exhaust.

[HMUSN]

the Cobra would win that race

[DeMello]

im gonna guess a termie with exhuast can get better then low 13s so yea you should be able to take him with that but thats sorta like sayin "well i can beat you with my moms car" isnt it

i mean theres always gonna be a faster car out there so racing with one thats not even yours and winning isnt really proving anyhting

[drazga97]

since u have it listed as you ran a 14.7 stock.....ur probably good for a high 13 now.... as long as the kid doesnt have a problem finding the gas pedal you should lose....just take your brothers car... u can probably even miss a gear and still beat him in that.

vs. u ... he'd win .. cobra vs. a completely stock lightning .. cobra win .. if that guy is pullied and and tuned ... and he can get traction .. the lightings tq can easily pull him out of the hole on the track .. but the cobra having a 6 speed will rape him in the top end and on the street ...

I raced a stock 03 cobra from a 3rd gear roll in my gt yesterday ( thats what gear I was in on the interstate ... about 70 mph ... ) and ran it by a few cars .. til I hit 100 and backed out .. I have a vortech blower putting about 388 to the rear wheels .. so I mean its all relative .. depends on mods driver etc .. but the lightings modded are nothing to scoff out .. but stock .. they really aren't anything to worry about if you can drive and have some gear in that gt

I have driven them and I have raced them. See MeZ posts - at least someone else in this thread has checked into reality.

And um what was your fastest 1/4 time in your current GT again? The name calling is way uncalled for. State your opinion like everyone else but I have no respect for a person that calls everyone a clown with the first words out of their mouth.

[HMUSN]

exactly.. the name calling was uncalled for cupcake

[DeMello]

with his mods shouldnt he be in the low 13s at least...which i belive somebody said thats wat the lighting gets..

[HMUSN]

think about it..

it's a race between a N/A bolt on 4.6 Vs. a supercharged 5.4

[2kGT]

What is this a liberal convention. Im soooo sorry I hurt anyones feelings. Gimme a break. Oh and I couldnt care less if you have no respect for me - I have no respect for you guys that bench race and read too much car and driver.

So? That 5.4 is sitting in a heavy truck with a crummy auto and no weight over the rear wheels.

If the gt had some sticky's I would say low 13's

Yep and with bolt on manual GT with street tires the lighting will hook and go (and yes I have driven one, I use to work on em all the time at OSU) and the gt will get loads of wheel spin.
