Just wondering if any of you guys now or in the past have had one of the newer lightnings? I have always wanted one and have been thinking of getting one around the spring of this year. Since I am going to be free from the money I owe my dad ( or did owe ) on my house, I can handle a car loan and it be NOTHING at all to me. Soooooo since I have always wanted one, I have been thinking of getting one. You guys see them at the track or anything? What do they run with LIGHT mods?
those bitches with the right mods will run like a raped ape and keep up with sport cars....i would love to own one. i would love to have the motor + my car because the would pwn...i cant remember off the top of my head what they run though.
Well the new ones ( I think 02 and Up ) run high 13's STOCK right? And the older ones ( pre 02 ) ran low 14's
The ones that I have seen at the track usually run mid-low 13's. I also like lightning and im thinking about selling my car and four wheeler so i can get a down payment on one.
I had a Silver 01 that i drove for 2 years and traded on my Lexus...it used too much gas for a DD thats why i traded it but i had every intention of picking up a 05+ but as we all know that program was scrapped :'( I do check around for them just to see if a nice 04 came across my path but not one that made me do a deal yet. Its fairly comfortable and fast but its heavy...with a blower swap it would be sweet.
I would keep my 99 Cobra and get the truck as a second play toy. I would say I would get the Terminator Cobra, but I have already been looking at lightnings around 17k.........thats around 10k lower than a damn 03-04 Cobra Plus I have always wanted a 13 second blown truck 8)
Ummmm well I guess you could say that.........but I dont plan on throwing a tool box and a a/c unit in the back of mine
oh yea,...........im really leaning toward getting one. AS soon as my house crap is settled, I would like to have one sitting in my driveway :bunny3:
I bro had one for awhile. He loved having it. A truck is always nice to have. Especially one with nearly 400 rwhp. Snake if you get one I think he still has the ported blower with a 2lb pulley from his , and I know he has his Johnny Lightning Cold air kit. That thing sounded like a damn jet engine. It was bad ass. My Dad was going to get one back in 93 but got a better deal on a 454ss so he got that instead. Even though the 93's were not as fast as the later years I still like those and if I needed a nice eveyday truck it would be a 93 lightning. Here are some pics of the lightning and the 454 [attachment deleted by admin]
