Unwary Lightning owner takes a beating until I pooch 3rd

Crystal headlights and fog lamps also. Plus horizontal style front grills instead of the honeycomb style.
My father has a '01 Lightning and so far it only has a air injection kit on it, but it still pulls damn hard. I have logged a few hundred miles seat time, and it is a total 1/8th mile monster. It can pull a C5 out of the hole by a car and a half, w/ the C5 catching up by 80-85 and pulling a car (or maybe slightly more) by about a 100mph (close to where a 1/4 mile would be.) It does need a chip and lower pulley to help top end, but down low it is great. It is definately a very fun vehicle to drive.

------------------
1997 Thunderbird 4.6L: Dynomax cat-back, MN-12 perf. offroad downtubes and Y-pipe w/ Magnaflow resonator, 80mm MAF with cone filter, B&M trans cooler, Inject-Tech chip, MAC U/D pulleys, KVR front brake upgrade. 15.2 @ 91 before exhaust & pulleys. Not bad for a 3800lb auto 4.6L

No Longer own: 91 LX 5.0L 5 spd
