Cool To all my fellow Lightning owners...

Listen to this comment made yesterday by a 19 year old guy from my local racing forum....

I would love to hear your thoughts on this statement.

HI!... So in other words it runs high 15's and gets beat by my daily driver Ford RANGER that runs mid 15's bone stock? LOL!

He doesn't see the girls laughing at him due to they start laughing when they 1ST see his truck, but since it's SOOO slow, the time he passes them, the girls have already stopped laughing and moved on..................

Of course they don't laugh... they don't even notice!

Now people who know trucks? They laugh.

I was going to say something about that big gay wing but you beat me to it.

But seriously a girl would laugh at his truck if he lined up next to a Lightning. He would get embarrassed.

lol this reminds me of the night I was out on Rt.23 here in NJ. This guy in a Ram Gaytona standard cab 4x4 yells out the window to me hey you wanna race that junk? I was like against my bone stock Subaru WRX?? I was like ok ill take that race how much? he was like ill smoke it. I said how about this we make it fair, I will go home get my Lightning give you 5 car lengths **** on your **** box Dodge and for the win I get to sleep with your girl friend. Well he didnt like that too much so the GF was like race him race him, he told her to shut up, im waiting and waiting for this fool to make up his mind, he finally comes up with this excuse, bro I wouldnt waste my gas beating you my truck has a turbo and it runs 9's.. I busted out laughing, I told him ok speed racer have a nice night.. Oh yea I blew a kiss to his GF and she liked it but I dont think he did.. I go to leave the gas station and he follows me back out on the highway, he floors it next to me so I dropped from 3rd to 2nd gear, and pissed all over him in my bone stock 05 WRX.. I think he learned a valuable lesson that night, and that lesson is, just because it says Hemi doesnt mean it is fast....

Depends on your definition of "fast". For sure, not an easy mark for most lightly modded Lightnings, but dead meat if I encounter one.

Nice kill, Rich!

Thanks Jim.. hey Tim I would have to agree with Jim, stock for stock the Lightning will have an issue. But all wheel drive, 6.1 Hemi with 10.5:1 compression., i would hope it could beat a stock Lightning..

You guys appear to be equating "fast" with "can beat a Lightning." That is not my definition.

A stock 300 or Charger SRT8 will run the 1320 in the low 13s or high 12s. I'm calling that "fast." Makes no difference what a Lightning can run.

Hating on everything except what you have is a sign of insecurity. Brand loyalty is small-minded and boring.

actually your small minded posts and replies are sarcastic and boring... you are always Mr. Negative in everyones posts.. Just because we or I state a fact that you did not cover pi$$es you off.. ADMIT IT.. I and alot of others here drag race our Lightnings, so YES it does matter to us.. We who drag race are proud that our trucks can ***** on an SRT8 and an SRT10 for that matter.. I do however agree that a vehicle that runs 13s or 12s is fast for a stock vehicle...
