Post So what's the verdict on the new 2001 Lightnings?

I'd have to say it is definatly gonna be faster with the 3.73's and the aluminum driveshaft. It can't hurt that it has 20 more horsepower and 10 lbs more torque either. I also have to say that it looks good with stock clear corners. Only one thing wrong with it, I'm afraid I'm not too fond of the new rims. What do you all think?



------------------
I am the driver of BIG RED! '99 S/C, 4.2, 5 spd, XLT, Bright Red Clearcoat, Medium Graphite, 5 Spoke 16" Cast Aluminum wheels, Lund bug shield, Limo tint, Pendaliner.

Aim Screenname : Qwikranger

Audio:
Pioneer DEH-345 Head Unit, Infinity Reference 5x7's all around, Kenwood KAC-848 50x4 amp on them, MTX Thunderform loaded with two MTX 6000 8's, and an MTX Pro 75 x 2 Blue Thunder Amp bridged to 280 x 1 on those beasts.

Things I want:
1. Exhaust
2. Airaid intake
3. Superchip

Limiting my performance increases:
1. BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT!! $$$

What about the stereo, are they finally gonna put in a cd player instead to the tape deck they used back in the 20th century?

They said they'd put it in the '00s but it didn't happen. Less than half of the 99-00 actually came with the tonneau. New tires too eh? F-1-GS whats GS stand for?

My 2000 came with the tape deck head unit and 6 cd changer. I think all the 2000 Ls came that way. Needs more base though.
