Well, I was driving down 36th st. ne today and I see a blue one, the guy has a race city number and the N, I'm assuming this is for newbies? anyway, I didn't think I'd get a chance to line up with this thing, but I finally do and a nice little stretch of street, he has his music blazing so I wasn't able to talk to him. When the light goes green, I didn't launch it cuz I wasn't sure if he wanted to go but sure enough the light goes green and we're off, in the end I was not quite past his rear bumper but I'm pretty impressed with those things, they're pretty quick! What do they run at the track? Also, if he's a newbie at the track with that vehicle is there much to know on how to drive those things or is it basically, get in and mash the peddle?:dunno:

Aren't all Lightnings Auto ne-how?? So yeah, just brake stand....I think they run low 14s in Calgary.

Anyone want to correct me??

Watch out for the modded ones. Better breathing and a pulley change adds a lotta ponies...

My buddy has a stock lightning and I am not sure but I seem to remember him running 14.42. I could be wrong on this because the last time the truck was stock was like 3 months ago or something like that, I have a memory of a goldfish. Anyways when he did that run the truck only had 800km on it.

its still a damn ford truck.. the chevy SS owns it in looks and power.. might not be as quick though.... but the dodge is gonna own everything on the street anyways from the looks of things

What are you talking about???

looks are subjective but power is a fact.

A N/A 6.0 vs. a Blown 5.4 or 4.6!!

I think a SS would run high 15's maybe.

What in the blue hell are you talking about? The SS doesn't own anything. It's a decent wanna be sport truck that you can drive all year. The Lightning is a blown 5.4. Those trucks can straight fuggin scoot, with mods they become sick fast. Very dangerous from a dig, those things stick like a mofo.

It's still a damn Ford truck, just like the EVO is just a damn Lancer, STi is just a damn Impreza, Cobra is just a Mustang, SRT-10 is just a Ram.

Lightnings run mid-high 14s in Calgary.

I pay close attention to the times run by trucks at the track.:thumbsup:

His name wouldn't happen to be Mike would it...and stand 6' 5 at around 300lbs?

As my friend Mike just bought his second Lightning. The first was white and I believe he ran 13.9@101. He now owns an 04 and its silver. He says this one is even quicker.

You can say that again.

Also I don't believe that the Harley Trucks are Supercharged. The older ones (Black and Orange) Are just a graphics pack with a custom interior.

Apparently, you can't even buy the interior from Ford because they won't sell it to you separate. Same goes for the King Ranch interior.
