'01 have 380 hp and 373 gears instead of 360 hp and 355 gears like the '99 and '00 Lightning. This added hp and better gearing make the '01 faster then '99 and '00 Ls.
Stock my 2001 ran a best of 13.36 at 103 mph.
Now it runs 12.6's at 110 mph thanks to Johnny Lightning and his parts. I only have his ram air, chip, and lower pulley.
When I talked to guys who have 99 and 00 Ls they tell me, you 2001 guys are lucky, it doesn't take much to get a 2001 into 12's compared to 99 and 00.

On a stock truck I think the 99 is faster. I think fuel cut off is around 5400 rpm?? The 3.55 gears in the 99 would allow you to go faster than the 3.73 that are in the '01's because of the lower rpms. The '01 would probably get to fuel cut off quicker.
