Exclamation 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!

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