AH! First Gen Lightning Q:
 

Later on I was considering getting one of the first gen lightning's. Anyone owned one, know the specs, how much they cost? Good websites for them even :) They seem nice just have trouble looking for info, thanks guys :D

351w - 305hp. There were two that I was looking at last year, one a 93, the other a 95. The 93 was white, he had a blower on it,and a bunch of bolt ons. 12,000 bucks. The 95 was stock, 80000 miles, black. 10,000.

Very cool, I hear they come with gt40 heads too. Notch, they also hard or easy to find in some areas?

They have GT-40 heads and a GT-40 intake

but i saw the newer model's kicking a-- last july in bowling green, just ask mustang kelly, old guy. or fiveoh patrol, that silver one was the stuff.:D :D :D :D :D :cool:

Layan, theres usually a couple of them in the auto trader. Our trader covers alot of territory though, it goes from here up to ft.lauderdale. Check out traderonline.com.

I have a white '94 Lightning.

It has a 351 w/GT-40 iron heads, GT-40 intake, headers, aluminum driveshaft, to name a few. It's rated at 245 hp and 345 tq. I question these numbers, mainly because it feels stronger than any other pick-up I've driven (new L's) not included.

They are reliable, a hoot to drive, great looks, the best damn seats ever put in a truck and becoming a bit rare.

NotchJohnson: 305 hp stock? I'm curious where that came from. Perhaps they're underated?

I love the seats too! Thats one thing I really admire on them, I wonder how theyd look in a fox body? :D Well thanks guys for the info, seems these things are pretty good interest.

If i had money i would buy one

Me too ;)

I have a red 93, it's awesome. It has 166k miles, is all stock, and has run 9.62 in he 1/8 after pulling the racecar to the track. And, we just looked at another red 93 that has 95k miles on it, they are asking $8300 for it. If they still have it after christmas, we are going to try and buy it if our finances will permit it.

I agree about the seats. They are fabulous.

First Gen Lightnings are underated......94/95 Cobra's have the same parts except they are 302's. They are in the 260hp range so I'm guessing Lightnings are in the 290 or so range.

Very cool.

Hey kid vishus, I'd prolly get one in a year or so if I can find one under 10k cash :) Sounds like a winner to me.

Im not sure where I heard that. SOmeone told me they had one and when they put a blower on it it went from 305 to 390-something hp. So i assume more mods were used to get the 305 then.
