Question If one Lightning is good, are two better?

I know two guys who each own two gen. 2 Lightnings. One has two 01s, the other has an '00 and an '01. Is that sick, or what?

Maybe they rotate them between intercooler and transmission replacements.

Cool

Your '99 may be faster than one dude's, but I doubt very much that its faster than the '00. Can you say modded to the max?

I have to agree with you, anyone who owns two Lightnings is a sick puppy --- not a bad sickness to have

Owning two doesn't sound sick to me.

Goodness gracious, no, Marcus. At least not for me, although I told my wife I'd buy her a new Civic if she wanted. I have too much money tied up in toys already to contemplate another one.

Houndog,

My 99's faster than my 00' and my 00' has JL ram air and JDM chip. My point was I'm getting rid of the truck with the ringer motor.

Alpha, I meant my 99' was faster and better than my 00'. Don't know if it's faster than anyone elses.

Damn I want another L to play with as my daily driver and then make my first baby into the jason brown gen1 killer!!!!

I guess I'll just have to wait until the 2003's come out then. Then I can have two L's. I don't think my parents would be very happy with me having another toy! I need a house now!

George,

Yes, that's sick in a great way if it can be afforded. I don't have that kind of money and I'm thinking of a second job for a killer boat with through-the-transom exhausts like I saw too many of last weekend at a state park's lake. Hey, I've got the perfect tow vehicle, right?

Holeshot,

I know what you mean. The WHOLE reason I bought my truck was the romping blast I had in a white '99 (go ahead, GRIN you white AND '99 owners ) with 600 miles on the clock I drove in Oct. 99. I swear that truck stock could take a bunch of chip'n filtered '00's, including mine. Don't ask me why, it just would. It was wicked. Oh, BTW, it was driven at redline screaming off the lot with NO miles. And the tranny (bone stock) felt like it had a shift kit after all the abuse. Mine was babied and it's run-of-the-mill. "Slappy" too. Hmmmmm.
