I went to the SVT webpage and it said that the 2000 L runs a 14.6 and the 2001 runs a 13.9, if one of you guys works for SVT or knows someone that does, its time to make another test run

 

Everybody knows that Ford Lightnings are slow. Just go ask the Little BowTies at LS1.com. They all know that L's can't run faster than 14's.

I can't wait to get my new slow ride.

Actually, my L does run about 14.6 (maybe in reverse, or in the rain).

Much faster than that the way this thing eats camaros.

HANKFAN,
You just reminded me of something. When I went to go see a 01 Black L that I might get (instead of the one I ordered), the dealer was telling me how the Red 01 that they ordered was stolen before it was transported to them. Maybe there is a connection!

Mine ran 14.5 stock. It got faster with time and mods but my first track runs in humid weather were right on the mark.

 

There is a 4.6 flairside on E-bay where the guy made it look like a Lightning, and now is crying cause he has only been offered 19K. He wants 30k hahahahhaha

Hey GTP, I must say, b4 I got my R/T I was gonna get a GTP, but I just wanted a truck, and if i was to get a car, I would get a GTP, but I highly doubt your GTP runs 14.5, cuz my R/T beats GTP's all the time and all I have is a pcm and intake, with people in my back seat..it was close, but no cigar

 

Check my post in the question about F-150's thread.

Magazines don't lie here. Sorry GTP, you've been schooooled!

Hey SY, I'd never own a front wheel drive suposed "performance" machine. It'd be M3 or a nice Volvo V70R. Hey look at that, with my V70R and a few modest mods, I could spank that GTP. (IT's a wagon to boot)

So then GTP would have to look at my dog's naseuous snout smashed against the back glass the whole time.

 

Just to prove my point about "untruthfullness"

Look at the 1/4 time.
