ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Another thing to consider is weather. If there is snow and ice, i bet you will miss the awd. Also it depends if you need the truck to tow, need the ext cab and the 6.5 ft bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Just add one of these, and you will forget about the Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 i was in your shoes a while back but i wanted a older dodge viper. after thinking about it and getting feedback from you guys on here i changed my mind. it still would be kool to have one but since i cant have both i will keep my truck. my brother has a 04 lighting and it is a blast to drive but it has limited comfort and anyone who has drove one knows it just isnt a SS. not very roomy and doesnt have half the options. but it is alot faster than a stock SS. if you compare the two speed is the only thing that the lighting will beat the SS on. i say get nos for your truck.

Woffski Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 The SS is a better looking truck than the Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 with the resale on these trucks i wouldn't even think about it yet. When you need some cheering up or need a nice reminder, ask zippy it wasn't meant as a knock on the truck. i'm guessing the performance is the main reason for him wanting a lightning and as most of us know it's a hard to disagree with that point. the lightning with bolt on's only will go in the low 12's without breaking a sweat. the resale has stopped most of the guys considering selling their SS. whatever reason it takes to keep your SS is a good enough reason to me. having any vehicle for only 8 months is a kick in the ass if you want to sell it and some just happen to be a harder hit. if he keeps his SS to keep himself from losing money, either way he's still keeping it. that's the positive side.
