How Fast is fast?

I've heard there are Lightnings in/around the DFW area running 12's in the 1/4. That's a lot quicker than stock...

How's you manage to trim nearly 3 seconds off the stock times?
What's some dyno/track times if possible.

I don't doubt the possibility- I test drove a stock 2001 and I was very impressed- to think that another truck could beat me by 20 - 30 lengths in the 1/4 is amazing....

(Based on the rule that each tenth of a second is nearly a car length.)

Lightnings are a lot quicker than 15 sec 1/4 mile times!!!! you calimed if they are in the 12's, that is nearly 3 seconds off the stock times. Stock bolts are running 13.5 - 13.8 stock.

I know of at least one Lightning running around Houston running in the 11's.

If you are around the big H and see a Silver Lightning with a rol cage coming out of the rear windows, get the F out of the way.

Actually not many people have managed to trim 3 seconds off of the stock times. You can actually count them on one hand. But you should know that 3 seconds off of stock times is 10's not 12's.
