I've seen them run consistently 13.8 and 13.9. These were 2 different Lightnings with the plastic still on the seats and sticker price in the window. Maybe the dealer wanted to have a little fun with them before they were sold.

I just recently read somewhere that the Lightning will get another boost in hp. Needless to say, as I own a GT, I'm pissed that the Mustang is taking a backseat to a $30+K specialty pick up truck when it comes to performance upgrades. Get me some more horsepower. Christ, Cadillacs with the Northstar system have more hp and the Lincoln coupe had 275hp back in 1994 with the 32v mod V8. Ford, wake up!
