We should try and get together with a cruise or something and possibly go to a local drag strip.
I can be reached at ryan460@mindspring.com.

Lurchenstein,
Not me. I'm decal free! As a matter of fact, I just took off my "Crossroads Ford" decals from my tailgate and also tossed the license plate frame from them too!
So did you order a 2001 or have your eye on something else?
I have seen a White (stock looking on I-40 East one morning), a Black (modified by We Do Trucks with chrome wheels, hood, tinted windows, billet grill), another Black one that has "Her SVT" on the license plate, and a 99 Red stock looking L also on I-40 West one morning.
My wife is from the Knightdale/Wendell area.

I will be ordering a 01 next week I think. Talked to a guy at Capital Ford last week. I just needed a week cool-off to think about it. Any problems with your truck yet and if so where did you get it serviced? I heard Capital had a good service dept, but don't know first hand.

 

No problems yet, well major ones anyway!
Had to get the front control arm bolts tightened and front end realigned after. Lucky me, my intercooler level is still full, no knock when I crank it in the morning, no tranny problems, so far so good!
We gotta get together with some of these other local guys and ride in that new 2001 when you get it! Mind if I ask what color you're gonna get?
My truck came from Crossroads Ford in Cary. The day I bought it there was a Silver one there also. This was the only dealership where I could find any L's at the time.
Service there has been good. A little rocky at first, but I can discuss this with you later or on personal email.
Feel free to drop me an email @ ryan460@mindspring.com.
Thanks,
Ryan T.

 

I would like to get together as well, I can be contacted @ cwelborn71@aol.com. Please elaborate on this "morning knock" if you would, I think I might have experienced this in the past on start up.

 

Sounds good, I've been enjoyin seein some of these other pictures of their trucks together. I bet it makes quite a scene with several of them rolling down the road.

Expect an e-mail soon Ryan2KRedL and trqdaddy!

 

I'd be up for a group meeting. I live near Charlotte myself. This time of the year most of the dragstrips are starting to close up for the winter. I know Rockinghams last t-n-t night is next friday and there is an import vs domestic race sat(open comp/bracket style). Still even just everyone getting together and bench racing would be fun. I can be reached at RedLightningSVT@aol.com

Hi
I'm a soon-to-be Lightning owner in Knightdale (fingers crossed). I have seen several red Lightnings around Raleigh. One had a "SVT" decal on the front bumber. Is that anyone on here?

Guys, I am all there. I've been dying to run the beast at the strip and also think it would be cool to meet you Raleigh area L guys and make some multi-L pics.

Ryan, also want to ride in your truck with the R9 and air-raid. I wanna feel the power. Hehe

 

Mracer,
Sent you some email last night. Let me know when you are free and we can make plans for a photo shoot, cruise, race, whatever!
PS - After riding in my R9 & Airaid combo. you will be calling Mike Troyer @ Superchips the next day!
See ya.

If it is all the same w/ you guys, I'd like to get in on this, mainly as a spectator (sp?), due to the fact mine is a 4x4/4.2. But it would be nice to see those Lightnings run! Thanks, Doc

Ryan,
If you guys decide to get together let me know. If it's where I can, I'll try to make it. May be able to bring a couple of other L's along as well. We're down east near the Greenville area. Thanks.

Y2K BOLT:

Great handle. I have the Ohio plate "Y2K BOLT" on both ends of my Lightning (dealer drilled the bumper for me - thanks). It's cool and just a little obscure for some folks, although my granny got it on the first take...
