Saw in a Truck mag there's a guy out here in AZ.with tags reading "LTNGKLR" !Hope he shows up at the Truckin' Nationals next weekend!
Of course I may have to eat crow if he's faster,But I doubt it.
There aren't too many true "Street Cars" out here [with our heat/elevation and lack of track prep] that can run a 12 sec 1/4 mi.
Let alone 4900lb trucks!I only know of a handful of "L"s [Gen I or Gen II] up to the task.
Guys if your listening we need your support out there!!

 

Yea right

 

Heh even if he can it doesnt sound as good as RT KILLA

 

my friend called me today to tell me he just saw an ss with the plates "8UR SVT"

 

I saw a WS6 with the license plate STNGKLR. I thought that was pretty funny, as I drove a Z28 at the time.
That was before, when any mustang could only hope to catch up to the gravel flying from an F-body's back tires... days that are over now.
I have confidence though, that the next gen Camaro (if they make it) will have a Z28, RS or SS version that will hand SVT it's ****. Ford did wait until it knew GM couldn't answer before it introduced the 03 Cobra...
Sorry... my GM heritage is taking over... heh
Was this off topic?

 

theres a heavily modded "ss" camaro around me with the plates "SvtThis"

 

If gm does bring back the f-body it will not be a true f-body but a rebadged holden sport coupe. Looks similiar to a monte carlo or something along those lines. It would also be a 350 hp front wheel drive w/ a 6 speed IF they decide to rebadge it and sell it in a few years

 

FWD?

Why would they do that?

 

Cause GM is a bunch of morons........ why they get rid of the F-body in the first place..... I loved smokin them LOL!!!!!

 

I was behind a Gen I Lightning and a Dodge Viper R/T last night coming home from some races. I have no clue what the Lightning's driver did to that truck, but it dusted the R/T through the intersection and down the road. From what I saw while trying to keep up in my stock Gen II Lightning was the Gen I walking away from the R/T with ease.

His plates read: INSTG8R

A Gen II that I saw run mid 11s at the speedway had plates that read CHEWMUP, and I remember seeing a highly modified True Blue Gen II Lightning (sounded mean!!) with EATSRTS on his tags.

 

I think that what badblack is talking about is the Pontiac GTO. They are bringing it back, but based on the Austrailian Holden Monaro. It is rear drive, with a LS1 small block and a T56 tranny. I don't know if there are any plans finalized for any kind of f-body replacement, but I heard somewhere that they might base something off of the new SSR platform. Here is the Monaro-




Sorry to keep this off topic - All hail the mighty Lightning!

 

I'm an admirer of all cars but putting 350HP on a front wheel drive performance car is ridiculous.. I mean we can't even get clunks in our front ends 100percent corrected and on top of that 350HP??? Youuch! . Lets see how many tie rod ends, alignment and steering problems chevorlet has with this one..
