I love Lightnings....Hell they made it to the 13 fastest cars list that popular mechanics had. That thing did a 13.62 .

But dude, I think too many people read that article and thought they could get theirs to do mid 13s too, so they would go to Moroso. I've seen more lightnings at Moroso then I've seen "LS1-SS". The fastest guy I saw in a lightning ran against me in the other lane. He ran like a 14.05 after icing his intake for like 30 minutes. The other guy I saw ran ran a 14.3 and was pissed as hell. And there was this one guy running a 15.xx (can't remember what)...

These guys are all pissed off like it's a disgrace that they are running low 14s and crap. BRO...IT'S A 4000+lbs TRUCK!!!...

It's not a sports car...those are great times for the dimensions...

That doesn't mean they can't run faster though. I have a video clip of one running 11s but the great thing about them is that they are very fast look great and are very usefull OUT OF THE BOX no mods needed. Why mess with that.

Just my .02
