I love lightnings, they are awesome trucks, but most L owners are ****y and need to know these facts.

As far as perfromance trucks dodge has ya'll beat. SRT-10; fastest production truck in the world...period, a little over 154 mph. Motor trend got a 13.1@107.07 and for you guys who say that its not a truck... they put 650 pounds in the bed and still pulled a 13.68@102.69 that will match (if not beat theL's 1/4 mile). So i can put 650 pounds of cargo in my SRT-10's bed and still match your 1/4 mile time and you say it's not a real truck, you are dead wrong, that is what trucks do, they haul things in the bed. As you see in the link motor trend got a 13.7 second 1/4 mile time out of the 03 L. We all know that there are L's out there that can do better than this, so why do you people refuse to believe the 13.1 they got out of 500hp SRT-10. I know you will say I am a magazine racer. How can you say they are lying, if you truly believe this you can sue them for false advertising, do you think their 1/4 mile track is shorter than yours?

And for those of you who say it costs too much money; you are right. But if you are looking for a bang for the buck truck you would be a complete moron to buy the L or the SRT-10. A good bang for the buck truck would be a 1st generation lightning (in my opinion the 351 windsor has far more potential than the 5.4). A dakota R/T is aslo a better bang for the buck. Or a 92-95 dakota 318 with a 5 speed which weighs in around the same as a mustang.5.0 and you can buy a 390c.i. stroker kit for the 318..

Although my second paragraph may be considered opinion; the first paragraph is facts and there is no arguemnt against these facts. end of story

So what?

 

Thank you very much for your wisdom. Bye now!

 

:o

 

no problem, any time you need some advice ask me

 

Yes, I'd like to know just how you can shove your head up your a** that far?

 

It's still a Dodge..."end of story"

 

The bottom line is that you're still a tool.

 

'nuff said!! buwhahahaahahaha

 

 

Anyone know the difference between V!0, Dodges and a bucket of $h!t ??



































THE BUCKET !!!!!

 

Last time I pulled into the staging lanes, I don't recall lining up against Motortrend Magazine. In fact I've been racing for nearly 20 years with about half of that in Ford vehicles. I don't ever recall lining up against any magazine nor have anyone I know. I think that magazines don't race much because they have problems tripping the staging beams...

It is NEVER about what some publication ran, they are typically a full secnd off real world times (even wore with bikes).

Show me a timeslip and photo of what YOU ran, because when WE race, Motortrend and Car and Driver, and Miniscule MOPARS will be nowwhere to be seen! Its driver vs. driver, truck vs. truck

And that V!0, is THE BOTTOMLINE

 

So far the race tally is in the Lightnings favor against the Goat, real world, real numbers.

 

I thought tolling would get you banned

 

Yea....what Herb said.
