Having said all that, taking into account that they are discontinued and new designs are out, I would keep the Stang.

My old Lightning put down 359 hp stock..with a 4lb pulley, intake and exhaust it put down 411hp...

OK well i guess i will just have to show you the dyno sheet and you can call Rick and Amazon Tuning Solutions...

What year was your Lightning?

BWAL · October 25th, 2007, 09:24 PM

+1 for the lightning over the stang

ChrisJ · October 25th, 2007, 09:25 PM

I love them...

Okay your only gonna get about 450rwhp out of a stang safely a lightning would laugh at that with a few bolt ons but a full bolt on kb swapped lighting will eat a supercharged mustang even a cobra if the cobra is not all done up! I'm sure there are plenty of video's on streetfire!

at best those trucks made 380 at crank stock, yet somehow your truck made 360 to the wheels stock.

a good friend has a lighting and it look bad and it is a bad ass truck. but i love my stang to. i would like both. that makes it ez

06RedfireGT · October 25th, 2007, 10:29 PM

MM&FF made like 780rwhp with a Lightning that had a Whipple and a 100 shot.

I would still rather have my Stang. But I would trade my Expedition for one in a heart beat

Regency 2007 · October 25th, 2007, 10:32 PM

It's pretty easy to make a 10 second lightning. Suspension and a whipple or kenne bell, with slicks. Thats about it.

But trucks aren't as sexy as cars. I like the new Harly pickups that have 450hp and are AWD too bad they are even more heavy then the older lightnings/harleys and only come in 4 door I think

06RedfireGT · October 25th, 2007, 11:20 PM

The 22s that come on em stock are sexy.

Jucostud · October 26th, 2007, 03:15 AM

lightning FTW! My best friend and his family have 3! It doesn't take much to get them over 400 rwhp. I would take one any day over a stang. A stock lightning can run a 13.0. My friend sucks at racing and he got a 13.5 with his.

you my friend are an idiot...

thats my best bud's lightning and i was with him BOTH times he got it dynoed , and yes thats 360 rwhp with a custom tune , and after his mods 411 to the wheels

those trucks are badass and after his mods he would hang neck and neck with my mach , i would love to have one and it would be nice to have the durability of a pickup and still haul ass..

ChrisJ · October 26th, 2007, 06:48 PM

Pretty sure they have forged pistons buit the rods are hyper$hit...

Saw alot of them go boom up here in VA...
