this guy is such an a$$

http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdr..._lightning.htm

every car that ISNT imported he dosnt like!


ive read from mustang to lightning to camero to corvette! He dosnt like them!

He says if you want performance go buy a PORSHE BOXSTER not a lightning!


This is why people who dont know anything about cars go and buy an import! They read what this a$$ has to say and they belive him! Thats why we have so many honda accords and toyota camreys on the road!


Oh well just had to rant a little bit!

Chill man. The article is three years old. The author is probably back working at Walmart.

I just love how he starts by saying how "dumb an idea" then goes on to basiclly say how awesome a truck it is and how it is fun to drive.

What an idiot!

” I gotta admit, it looks sharp (for a pickup truck).”
For a “pickup truck” LMAO

” Expect no better than 14.0 l/100 km (20 mpg) on the HIGHWAY”
Damn, I want one of “those” Lightning’s that are getting ANYWHERE close to 20 mpg

”lateral G forces of 0.85g on a 100 feet skidpad - that's equivalent to high-end sports cars like the Corvette.”
Not bad at all for a “pickup truck” huh?

” a deep-throated rumble from the 5.4 litre V8, and a loud whining, grinding sound from the supercharger. I found the whining noise loud and irritating,”
Wonder if he found all that extra horsepower and torque irritating as well.

"I hate to say it, but the Lightning is actually fun-to-drive (in a sort of macho, kick-*** kind of way).”
Must have been a mama’s boy.

” The rear wheels will brake loose when accelerating too quickly out of a corner on a slippery surface, and quick action is needed to regain composure. I would recommend that first-time drivers drive with caution.”
It’s that damn irritating whining noise again. I guess first time mama boy drivers could always take the supercharger belt off and not have to worry about it…
