The other day, the wife and I were out and came across this older gentleman in a 99-00 Lightning. We weren't racing or anything, as he would have let us sitting, but we were playing leap frog in traffic.
We got stopped at a traffic light, and exchanged glances before we looked each other's car/truck over. When the light turned green the older man went about his business, casually driving his ride through the light, as I was in a slight hurry(not to mention beside a serious hulk of a truck) I got on her a bit. He obviously didn't like the fact that I had gunned it in front of him and took off. So I raced him, and somehow, won. And not by a measly car length, but 3 or 4.
Here is where I have a bit of trouble, isn't the Lightning rated at 360hp? I know it's way over what my car is, and maybe the weight played a role in my win, but aren't they
alot faster than a relativly stock 94 Cobra? What are the numbers on these things stock? And last but not least, given how fast they are stock, what would you expect my new 1/4 mile times to be? Maybe I should have posted this in Street Racer's Corner, but I thought you guys/girls would know more about them. Anyway, thanks!
