It's finally been decided so everyone can stop arguing about it. The 2000 have bigger nuts than the '99 Lightnings. The bigger the nuts the faster they go!

You should get some sleep if your having visions like that!

Watch out his LIGHTNING flash ear bite. That's his power move!

 

I think bigger nuts makes for more rotating mass and thus more horsepower is required to overcome the higher inertia. No wonder the 1999’s are faster!

 

Just more unsprung mass.

My nuts is lighter thus they are easier to Get off......

 

I have heard for years that "the bigger the better"

I agree with DH and Twisted.

Bigger AND TIGHTER! They're so tight they haven't DESCENDED...

 

AAAWW NUTS! But that means the '99s have less rotating mass than the '00s. That explains why the '99s are quicker.

99 Lightning black #2022, cd,tow package,bed rug,roll-n-lock
(13.73 @ 99.74 stock)
98 Cobra coupe laser red
best stock et 13.43 @ 103
one run w/ 3.55 gears 13.34 @ 102 no other mods
former Chevy fan still have a few
72 SS454 11.6 @ 116 (slicks open headers)
68 Camaro 12.2 @ 116 (street tires closed exhast)

 

It is true that they may have less rotating mass, but we all know bigger nuts can produce more power and torque.

Forward thrust is much more important than the rotational mass since you can rotate all you want, but it won't make you thrust any harder.

Bwahhahahahaaha

 

It's a lot easier at the strip to make 100 lbs with a 4-bar spinner than it is to make 150. One grunt instead of four.

Somebody better ask AndThenSomeToo -- She'll surely have an opinion.

 

And what does CA think about all of this?

 

Woman don't know much about measurements because men have been telling them for years that 7 inches is really 12 inches.

 

But those 4 grunts could have better results than the 1 grunt...

 

By bigger nuts, you mean that the studs are larger also.

 

Yes they would be and and everyone knows the truck with the bigger nuts always wins. lol
