If you know, what is the 1/4 mile time for the fastest known Lightning. Also what year is it and if possible what mods did it take to get there. Thanks

 

I believe it is Sals test truck from

www.powersurgeperformance.net

I believe he ran

11.20 @ 118.9 mph with a 2001.

If I am wrong, i apologize in advance! Peace

 

Gen 1 or Gen 2?

I think Rhino's right about the PSP truck for Gen2's, but there are some faster Gen 1's (at least for now).

 

actually i read that the fastest Lightning in the world is a Gen 1 that ran in the 9's. granted it was juiced and just about everything else. i have to find the link. i will report back when i find it. i think the time was like 9.79s.

 

Jason Brown's 95 Lightning:


7.88@179 w/ 1.14 60'

25.1-c chassis
351w svo block stroker now 440 cubes with turbonetics big thumper turbocharger
sheet metal intake
tfs r-heads [ stage 2 porting by fox lake]
96 lb injectors
accel dfi
custom headers by rieth motorsports
turbo is presently pushing 24lbs boost
spearco intercooler [ air to water]
power glide trans [ jw ultra bell ]

 

The "fastest" L that I know of is/was Jason Brown's 95 (if I remember correctly, it was a 95). It was running 7's back in 2000 at the WFC, but it was no where near stock! Attached a pic....

ehhhh i think that one above just might be it hehe...sure as hell looks it! maybe that's the one i read about. do you have the time/mph on that truck Lightningboy?

 

The PSP truck, I think, might have been using NOS to get the 11.2. The JDM test truck ran 11.405@118.50 without any spray. Hope this helps.

 

7's are faster than the one i saw...sorry. i stand corrected.

 

Sorry, I was thinking Gen2 but it's good to know about the speed of the Gen1. WOW! turning 7's in a pickup truck. That is impressive.

MRBBQMAN - Thanks for that link.

 

Anyone got any vids of that thing?

 

Just spoke with Jason not too long ago.His truck is disabled at the moment but is now sporting a twin turbo.His goal is to get into the 6 second bracket as soon as its up and running. BTW he said he would sell his truck for 60K if someone would make the offer!!I love that truck and to see it run is true bliss. Ain't no sound like it anywhere.
