hmmm, lets compare the Lightning to the Vette
Lightning: mid-low 13's stock, 12's obtainable VERY easily
Corvette: mid-low 13's stock, expensive to modify
Lightning: driver + 2 passengers comfortably
Corvette: driver + 1 passenger
Lightning: haul a load of mulch from the store
Corvette: haul a handbag from the mall
Lightning: ~$32,000
Corvette: ~$40,000-50,000
Lightning: easily my choice
Corvette: choice of rich guys with a need for a chick magnet
I know you asked nothing about comparing the two vehicles, but I like to do so because the Lightning is such an awesome truck and all around (fun, usefullness, power) IMO nothing can compete with it
