Lightning as a tow vehicle?
my fiance keeps telling me this is sacreligious but i figured i'd ask you guys lol
im in the market for a new vehicle and i always told myself for my next car i'd grab a 99 cobra vert or something along those lines but now that i have my notch as the race vehicle i'll need a trailer for her.
so here's my point, i've always been a HUGE fan of lightnings but how are they as tow vehicles? the notch only weighs about 2800 without me in it and then however much an open trailer weighs. would this be a good/bad idea?

I towed my 67 Gto to the wodward Dream cruise last year with my 2002 and it did great. I have towed quit a bit but untill you do it with one of these you can't beleve how well it does it.

I have done a couple thousand miles towing with mine and it drops my average about 4 or 5 MPG.
She pulls great. I checked out air bags and got the run around because it is a couple inches lower than stock.
I didn't use anything and got good results. I wonder if anyone makes air shocks that will work?

don't forget that the '03/'04 L's have a stiffer rear suspension. Sucks for ride height, but it does increase payload a little bit. The L would make a great tow vehicle for the weekend warrior.
