enough power to pull trailer?
 
Anybody know the towing capacity of the 99-04 lightnings? I'm interested in purchasing one but not sure how well a stock one will pull my car trailer(not that I could leave it stock for long..but just in case). I have a 28ft enclosed haulmark race trailer. I figure with one of my cars in it and all my tools and track equipment it probably weighs around 8-9,000lbs. Does anybody have any input or experience towing a trailer this size with one? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

towing compacity is only 5000 so thats 3-4 thousand over.id rather have a 1 ton truck with a beefey tranny

technically the lightning isnt supposed to pull anything over 5000lbs its not made for hauling and stuff just for speed.
