sweet. So Don when can we line up?

edit: good call I think you should just enjoy the thing, drive it a lot and have a good time. I'm done modding vehicles. (I hope)

Notice the laughing smiley, as in "HaHa" as in "Joke"

From the site rules:

Page 327; paragraph 3; article 6b...

Bashing of vendor chearleaders can be viewed as vendor bashing. Violation of this article can result in being dipped in gasoline and lit on fire. Judgements to be made on a case by case basis.

It's funny, I always tell people that the "funnest" version of the Lightning is a mid to high 12 second truck. No problems, no worries, no issues. People look at me like I have 3 heads when I say that, knowing that I had an 800rwhp 10 seconds truck.

But once you reach that low 12 second/high 11 second point, things change. Now everything on the truck is more critical. You can't just get in it and not worry about anything anymore. Plus, you get used to the power and want to go faster, and by the time you're done you've got a trailer queen, or at least a truck that's not practical anymore.

Stock truck with a tune, pulley, filter kit, and plugs. A 12 second truck with about 390rwhp or so. That's the best way for maximum enjoyment out of these trucks, IMO.

I agree..... my truck was definatelty the most fun when it was running mid to high 12's. After that it was nothing but trouble and breaking parts, which led to me selling it. Either way, all cleaned up.....they make a badass show truck.

I couldnt bash them, 90% of the parts that were on my truck were from the same vendor as Tallimecca. They were good quality parts. Pulley, EFAN, Exhaust at one point.....

I guess i just gotta stop posting. Joking and sarcasm are hard to read.

I couldn't agree more.

When I was running 12.8's all day long as consistant as can be, i had 0 problems. I started to step it up a bit and nothing but headaches. Every problems became a bigger credit card payment from month to month.

Funny how I haven't said boo about any vender in quite some time now. Can't support anyone around here without getting jumped all over, so support no one I guess.
