ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 On my way to work today I was waiting at a light in the center lane of a 3 lane road. I see a black SVT lightning pull up in the next lane and just after was a hemi sport QC 4x4 with a nice sounding exhaust in the other lane. The guy in the lightning and hemi kept reving at me, so I decided I'd bite. When the light turned the svt squealed his tires quite a bit but had about a 1 truck lead off the bat, and eventually pulled to about 3 truck lenghts by 85 mph, where we decided to shut it down. The hemi was about 5-6 truck lenghts behind easily and did the fly by at both of us and goes into a gas station, I needed gas so I followed and so did the SVT. The lightning driver was a cool guy, he said his truck was a 99 and it is completely stock. The hemi owner was pretty pissed about being beaten so badly, he told us he had JBA headers and a magnaflow exhuast, a volant and a hypertech tune. He wanted to look under my hood, because he didn't beleive I was stock . I feel it was a pretty good run, didn't loose to badly to a 99 lightning. Those Hemi sport QC 4x4 are much slower than the reg cab 4x2 hemi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 you should've raced lightning boy at the meet on the 30th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams2003 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) you should've raced lightning boy at the meet on the 30th <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That could have been possible if there wasn't a cop at every light and a 180 degree turn every 300ft. Plus that guys would have ended up getting into in accident or something stupid.

CBX59RT Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Nice kill. I wish I could get a lightning to race me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know this thread is a lil old, but finally got to race a lightning in my R/T last night. Went from a 20 mph roll or so (Not the best way to race those trucks lol) and I was a little behind his ass at about 75. It was a 03 with an intake and a forged bottom end. Guess he use to run 12.0 with bolt ons, pulley and nitrous, but a bad tune blew it up so had to get a new motor. Just makes me excited to get my mods that are sitting here in my room installed hehe. I love those truck so damn much, Ford did well with those IMO and I would love to own one. -Sam 01 Dak R/T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
