A quarter-mile doesn't determine the overall quality and performance of a car. HOWEVER, couple that with these stats:

Braking, 60-0 mph 136 ft.
Braking, 80-0 mph 238 ft.
80 ft. slalom 63.6 mph
100 ft. skidpad 0.85g

... and you might have a better idea of what these trucks can do. As you can see, Lightnings are not just drag trucks - they're high-performance vehicles. And we can haul a couch or a motorcycle in our trunks.

Say, what're the slalom and skidpad stats of your cars?

There's two things they'll never understand over there..

1. The thrill of driving a Lightning
2. The desire for women

I also like how they commonly call us "rednecks" because we drive a truck, it's called manhood and once their ********* drop out of their stomach they might understand.

Well, I think we can consider this horse pretty much dead...

Hey Felonious, thanks for the explanation.
This will be my last post here. It was a total waste of time...

 

ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH! STOP AND LISTEN!

You insolent, latte-sipping Audi TT trolls have angered me! I am now furious! Hear me and hear me good. You have violated the sanctity and serenity of my Lightning forum coccoon. I have your snooty "driving experience" drivel literally dripping out of my ears! You make me sick, and I'm tired of reading your posts, YOU IMBECILES (although I'm strangely drawn to them...)! You have sinned, and you must now pay.

I HEREBY SENTENCE YOU, AND BY "YOU", I MEAN ALL OF YOU, TO:

From this very moment, until you repent (that is, stop boasting about the speed/power/handling/whatever of your silly, $42,000 1.8 liter jellybeans), I vow to humiliate and otherwise make miserable the life of any and all TT drivers I see. Looking at your miserable futures, I see thick, choking clouds of Goodyear smoke at intersections. I see molten rubber sprayed all over you windshield. I see views of rapidly shrinking tailgates. I see "Tiffany" in the passenger's seat losing her appreciation of the "driving experience" and begging you to return her to the serenity of your home in "Briarwood Trace" subdivision for a more relaxing evening of tofu salad with an avocado aoli wasabi vinagrette accompanied by a little Kenny G (at modest volume, of course) on the Bang & Olufsen.

Consider yourself duly warned. I will throw down HELL FIRE on you and your kind! Your ego is officially on the ENDANGERED SPECIES list. A plague on all of you and your "sport coupes". I will humiliate you. You will feel small. Very, very small.

And before you think of appealing your sentence, remember...

YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELVES, IDIOTS! YOU HAVE ANGERED ME, AND YOU WILL/MUST BE PUNISHED!

 

Uhhhhh... Okay........ Deep breaths now.

I vote for closing this thread!

'Lonious:

Come on, now. It's just getting fun.

Incidentally, your conciliatory tone has me a little suspicious. Perhaps we have a spy in our midst. I think that a "random garage search" is in order for you.

 

Ha! The joke's on you - I park my Audis outside.


Doh!

Just kidding, my L parks outside. My bike is the only vehicle that's in my garage. And what do you mean about conciliatory tone?!
