All im saying is I have raced 5 Lightnings and lost to two of them and beat the other three, i dont care if no one believes me but I have! The way I look at it is, there pushing like 375 or something like that with a supercharger, and were pushing 350 straight motor. So if my SS was a single cab with a supercharger, you know what would happen lol FORD:M16:
But it's not. That's like saying if my truck had a 500 hp V-10 I would be faster than a SRT-10. You drive what you bought and go from there. I wish you were closer so I could see just how much you would get me by.

My father picked up this old Brunswick Balke Collender table for $200 forty-five years ago. It's a four slate table rumored to be built in the 1870's. I just put new bumpers, felt and pockets on it and it plays real nice. I was told not to touch the wood or it would loose it's antique value. Sorry for the crappy pictures.

I beat a first generation Lightning too. They aren't as fast as people think they are.

im with you showtime even tho iam a lil late and it seems settle i doubt this is true, and i hate ppl that say things like "Well if i had this i would beat you like that"... well stop winning and slap on of those b*****s on like i did
That's cool that you did, but Chevy should have put one of those bad boys on right from the factory and made the SS the truck that smoked the others right out of the box.....................
-
When you factor in what was omitted until the 28th post - "When i raced the lightning the weather condition outside was slick it was lightly raining" - then I could see where it could easily have happened. These trucks don't party in the rain.....................

A coworker that owns a late model Firebird goes around and test drives all the new fast cars and test drove one of those and said it was ridiculously fast. He thought it needed wider tires because he kept breaking the rear end loose. He doesn't like Mustangs, but he was impressed with that one.
There are people out there that put badges on their cars to try and impress the uninformed, I've even seen a newer regular cab Chevy with SS emblems on it. I guess he didn't realize that people in the know can spot a real SS a block away. But we also get a lot of F-150's that put on Lightning badges.

Hey Showtime how much does your truck weigh?
I've never weighed it but Truck Trend listed the curb weight at 4,670 lbs. Most Lightning owners remove the receiver hitch and spare tire as a first step to dropping weight.
The link below is from Truck Trend's Lightning vs. SRT-10 comparison that provides all the stats about both trucks.

97% of fords since 1969 are still on the roads today, the other 3% made it home
Cool, I'm in the top 3%...................

Like ive said before im a chevy fan all the way hints why im on the forum and i drive a SSS. I like lightning also not something i would go out and buy but they are cool. I wish chevy would have put boost on the SS from the factory they would be crazy fast. But one thing i really like about my SS is that its boosted and AWD not much can touch it frim a dig. just last year i took a viper truck for about 5 trucks it wasnt even a race. but the next night i got my a$$ hand to me by a modded 03 cobra. My point is that we all shouldnt get mad over little things like who truck is faster. cause no matter what there is always something faster.
I also wish Chevy would have stepped up to the plate and built a bad ass SS with a supercharger instead of letting Joe Gibbs build a few. I would have been first in line for that truck for sure. But Ford did make a truck like that with all the other components to handle a supercharger and 450 ft lbs of torque and once I test drove it I was hooked; something about hearing that supercharger whine. I like the SS and think it's a great looking truck and sometimes I really wish I had four wheeled drive.

I've been a member here for three years and I'm not trying to start any shit. As a life long Chevy man I was looking hard at getting an SS when I found my Lightning back in 2005. I'm not trying to knock anybody's truck, but after driving my truck for four years I know how hard it runs and find it hard to believe that the mods the original poster has are going to beat a Lighting that bad if it's running on all eight cylinders. You guys love your trucks and I love mine and I will be happy to race for a beer and drink it with you when we are done.
-
why is it hard to believe with a few mods a ford can get beat. i have tune,cai, exhaust and ive beat a few lightning's nothing bad but a win is a win.nice kill bro
It would take more than an Volant CAI and an Aero exhaust to beat a real Lightning by 2 1/2 car lengths to 65 mph. Lightnings can go 0-60 in the low 5 second range. There are SS trucks that are capable of beating one, but I'm not buying that SSpoiled18 beat one like he says he did. I'd be happy to give him a shot at a real one if he wants to really see how he stacks up.

The other day when i was coming home from work i noticed a blue ford lightning. when he saw me he started to mess with me a little bit and the perfect set up came a red light and we were at the front of the pack. The light went green and he peeled out i took him by 2 and a half car links up to 65mph. then we took off from a roll at 30mph he peeled out again but it was me in front by barely a car link all the way to 90mph it was a good race but the CHEVY SS ATE THE FORD FOR DINNER!!
2nd Kill
Are you sure it was a real Lightning? There are a lot of chumps that put Lightning badges on their trucks and try to pawn them off as the real deal. Just look at all the bogus ones you find on ebay.

LOL. I drive a Prius as my DD. They are NOT fast! But damn they go a long way on a gallon.
I raced a Honda Civic with a fart can muffler yesterday. I beat him with my Prius. I can't think of anything that would hurt a young man's pride more than that. And to add insult to injury, he had a buddy with him to witness it. I am still chuckling about it.
Mike
Most of the time I try to let that crap go, but after he almost clipped my truck I couldn't.
I drove a Prius as a loaner once when my wife's car was in the shop and it was weird. I kept thinking the engine died at stop lights. When I need good mileage I ride my motorcycles.
My commute bike that gets 45-54 mpg:
My weekend warrior that gets 30-40 mpg:
-
Don't laugh guys some of those Prius owners feel they are driving hot rods. They are kind of quick from a dead stop compared to regular cars. On the way to work at 5:30 AM I had this pesky little mother slice and dice through traffic one morning, cutting people off like crazy until we finally got to the two lane freeway on ramp. I caught up to him and lit the supercharger in the cold morning air and went sideways power-sliding back and forth as I passed him and beat him onto the freeway. I felt like I just beat up on a kid, but fug the little bastard, someone had to show him he wasn't driving shit.

Very well said......
ps. nice looking truck you have there...
Thanks, you're not doing too bad yourself, are both of those yours?
-
I see, so your no where near Los Angeles/ Orange county, lol. Wanted to see how id match up with a stock lightning. Expectations arent too high, lol.
I don't know about that, if you catch me sleeping at the light I might not catch you.
-
Didnt mean to call you out Show Time...I am stock so I shouldnt be saying much...
That's cool I knew what you meant, I was just having fun with you. I don't come here to cause any trouble.
-
hey show time where in cali are you?
Marin County - the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
-
cool,nice color on your lightning
Thanks, it's called Dark Shadow Grey Metallic and it was only available for the last two years of production. I've been a Chevy man my whole life and was looking at the SSS before I found my truck. If Chevy would have put a supercharger on the SSS I would have never bought a Ford.
-
you better belive it brother
Cool, sounds like your truck runs pretty strong! But 03maSSS was calling a Lightning.
Sweet. Always love these stories. Congrats man. I test drove a Midnite Rider Ram SRT 10 Edition. Real nice truck but I will take my AWD SS. Here Lightning, Lightning, Lightning...

Yeah Showtime I'm with u bro, xbit_11 is just a troll who has nothing better to do than try to create problems on the forum. I got respect for socaliallstar82 because he actually post stuff and talks about trucks and he has respect for out trucks and I got respect for his truck, nice Lightning Showtime I really like that black color on the Lightning trucks.
I think socaliallstar82 if a cool guy too. Like me, he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder and is here to shoot the shit and supply information about our trucks when asked. I think having a quick truck is cool, no matter what make it is.
I kind of figured xbit-11 was a troll when he first posted here and only replied to this topic when he was told to go to the F-150 forum. I don't know why people think they have to convince everybody that their choice of truck is the best. We already know that the truck we're driving is the best!
-
I have your back Show Time. We are having a good debate here. xbit_11's post is unsubstantiated
Thanks! All I was trying to do was give socaliallstar82 a compliment. No matter how you spin it, Toyota is still a foreign owned company.

your an idiot
No, you're the idiot! At least I can spell you're. What grade are you in?
