why do all you guys think.
For the record,You cannot really compare a stock Lightning to a ls1. chipped and filterd lightning will beat a stock ls1 at the track for a few reasons.1 is traction and the other is they do not have enough room to catch us.The fast stock ls1s at my track run 13.3s where I run 12.9-13.2 so I am faster.
Now you take a vette.The stock ones I see at my track run 13.1-2s which is what my truck runs.It is all in the the light and the launch.If I launch better,I win.If the vette does,He wins.The vette guy claims he ran a 12.9 once and maybe he did.So did I.The best heads up race is a vette and a chip and filtered Lightning.One more thing,The "stock" vette had exhaust and who else knows.I dont even know if it was stock,other than exhaust but Im sure the "stock stock" vettes run pretty much the same.Dont think that im that fast either cause where the Lightnings that run 13.5 with a chip and filter at other parts of the country the vetts do too.;
Now take the z06.
MY GOAL THIS YEAR is to beat z06 vettes and then I mill be the MAN!!!The greatest part is ist really not that much money its just making sure that the chip and maf is programmed right. then you add
Throttle body
pully
ram air
slicks
intercooler power box
torque converter
ALL FROM JOHNNY LIGHTNING OBVIOUSLY

~Ahems and steps up~
I am the proud owner of a 98 LB 4.6 F150 that has gotten smoked repeatedly by just about everybody that has a car with the same performance level of a Pinto or better.
Simple enough reason is that I choose not to race my truck. It is, after all, a truck that is made to do truck-like things. These things would include, but are not limited to, pulling a boat, pulling a car trailer, pulling stumps and general hauling duty.
Now I've heard a lot of Shovie owners talking smack about a lot of Ford's performance products. Their favorite targets are the Lightning and Cobra.
My answer is a simple one and a classic one. The 1967 GT40 MarkIV.
742RWHP from a Ford 460 in a 2650lb body mated to a six speed ZF transmission. Yes, it has been upgraded with modern performance parts. I have yet to see ANY Shovie car, no matter HOW modified, keep up with her. Don't bug me with quarter miles, kid. That's for people that have not yet learned to steer. How about a few laps around Silverstone, Sears Pointe, Bell Isle, Monte Carlo or Le Mans? That's a REAL test of a vehicle's ability.
BTW, she sleeps in the car trailer that my little ole F150 totes behind it.
As always,
Caelistis.
PS. Look for that F150 to be replaced with an L. Ordered mine from Covert this Wednesday. Ordered her in white, the same color as all my other vehicles.

just as ' "WHOPPER SAYS"
"LIGHTNING SAYS"........I can run toe to toe with the finest sports CARS that cost twice as much as me.I can do this weighing in 1000lbs more and with the aerodynamics of a monkey wrench swinging through mud.People are often jealous of me because there is no reason in the laws of physics why I am so fast or tunable and lovable.I can beat the best sports cars and go to home depot on the way home from the track.I can go to the finest restaurants and be looked apon as highly as a lincoln.Why???and how?? I am asked so often....... I do not know why I am such a fine peice of machinery I reply. There is only one word for me." I am LIGHTNING by SVT" My drivers love me and my competiotion hates me. Why oh why do i get so much attention......One word......LIGHTNING.

Dear kevin 3636,
Could you, for once in your life, post a single paragraph of text that doesn't make you sound like you've been doing crack since birth? I don't want to be the language police here, but you should be arrested on charges I'd prefer to keep to myself.
For Christ's sake Kevin, proofread your rambling gibberish! You are a walking justification for higher education.
Regards,
Frans
P.s. This looks very similar to SLPCAMAROSS98's rantings. What is it about trolls and their utter lack of coherent reasoning? I have yet to see a troll with better language abilities than those of a particularly slow pre-schooler.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">i'm back,and i have a story to tell.i lined up with a 99 lightning last night.the lightning had a mass air,headers,t-converter 3200 stall,KaN fipk,superchip,high flow cats and an exhaust.we ran 5 times.i did win but it was only by a car.he has very cool about it.we even had a rolling start from 20 mph to.this guy was 26 years old .he wan't to race some more with his et's on the truck.he said he ran a 12.5 on stock tread.this is the fastest one i have seen with out nos. on it.and he is going to put a 100 shot on. i think he was a drug dealer.asked if we wanted to do a line with him sometime.he is cool but i think i will just talk to him at the race track only.the way he talked after the race was cool.he didn't bring up the hp diff. or any thing.i don't know if this was a 12.5 truck for sure,but it was very fast. </font>

Kevin3636,
Get yourself a laywer and try to sue your public school system for failing you so badly. My eyes hurt and I have a headache from trying to make any sense of your posts.
Pontiac did put a V6 into a TA once upon a time. It was a very limited edition with a hopped up turbo charged Buick GN motor.

Kevin,
You remind me of that FarSide cartoon with the 2 bears leaning against that tree. The one has a big red target on his tummy and the other one says "Damn shame about that birthmark"
If you aren't going to sack up and finish what you start, don't start it.
