Yeah, I saw that in a search and I just looked right past it. That would be sweet if it was turboed! In fact, I wondered to myself why it has not happened yet...

Could he know less about his ride? Traction control could mean his foot. Does he really have a rear window defroster too? Kids...stay in school and off the bong.

My 2000 L has traction control too! It's called my right foot. Easily disabled by pushing the gas pedal harder.

Can't vouch for the company, but they have turbocharged a Lightning.

I have been there and seen the black turbo lightning. It was still being put together. It looked sweet as hell though.

Turbo's own the SC in any street application as far horsepower at same boost levels. I would sell my shirt off my back if anyone would make an affordable and complete turbo system for the Lightning. Easily adjustable boost levels. I would imagine the 5.4 with its long stroke and the correct cam profile and timing WOULD SUPPORT A HUGE *** TURBOCHARGER :rock:

Here is pic I grabbed off of silverstates site.
