mec1469 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I've weighed my VHO with myself in it at the recycling center and it was 5216. I'm around 220 so 5000 lbs is what you're looking at. Dylan, I was at the cruise a couple of weeks ago but I didn't speak to anybody. I just kind of hung out around you guys looking at everybody else's trucks. If I go to any other of your cruises, I'll look you up so that we can "compare" our trucks.

Dave Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 As long as we can all beat the Hemi's I'm happy.... I am looking forward to lining up against a VHO, just to see what the difference is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been left in the dust by a lightening and it really sucked. I haven't had a go yet with a hemi yet. If you really want to read some trash talk about SS's check out the Ford Lightening web page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Let the L's talk trash... they can... I respect anything thats fast and the L is definitely faster than the SS. I've had a chance to run against a couple of them and gotten beat pretty bad everytime, but the upside is that all of the Ford guys I've ever run against have been pretty cool (with the exception of the mustang owners) Unlike the HEMI owners who usually do the ricer flyby or flip you off after you whoop them. Its really not a fair comparison, but a win is a win and you can't take it away from 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGMTech Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 So Stock for Stock Chevrolet made a cheaper, base model truck that out runs there Top of the line performance model SS.....wow <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's GM for ya. Their engineers come up with great stuff but the managers and bean counters are the ones that mess everything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 now if they'd only realize that the VHO has the wrong cab on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
