BlkSSnCpt Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 it doesnt take much to get those lightnings to move... so dont be to pushy to doubt him thats wat i was thinking, i wonder wat a pulley intake and good tune would do for them in the 1/4... -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackss461982 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 it doesnt take much to get those lightnings to move... so dont be to pushy to doubt him oh i don't doubt him but he will need more help getting that thing to plant the power to the ground. imo a stock suspension just won't cut it with that amount of power. but we will see it idled real ruff when i talked to him about it and said he was needing a tune.

CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 i am the type of guy who can appreciate another vehicle reguardless of make and say "wow thats a nice ride" but you have those ppl who think there poop dont stink and that they are too stubborn to appreciate a nice ride when they see one. oh and ppl call the flag all the time just because a vehicle on paper is suppost to beat yours. Nah, I called YOU on a blatant lie. You were "running beside a STAGE # SRT4 and you BOTH WENT from a roll up into triple digit speeds. You not only BEAT the 12 second car with your barely modded truck, the poor idiot with the Dodge also BLEW HIS ENGINE while losing to you! Just drop it. You probably raced a slug stock Neon with a decal or two that was obviously a POS or the race nevr happened, or...? Who knows. Your truck did NOT beat a stage 3 SRT4. Simple. And for you to post the "kill" as "not that big of a deal" was what got your EARNED response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 it doesnt take much to get those lightnings to move... so dont be to pushy to doubt him I agree. Even a couple simple mods on a Lightning and it's a faster truck than many would think, IMO anyways.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcsilveradoss Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I agree.Even a couple simple mods on a Lightning and it's a faster truck than many would think, IMO anyways.... that is all i was getting at. the ease to which those trucks make gains is sickening. i wish someone would put a roots blower on a reg cab 5.3 truck and see how it would do against a stock lightning. im sure it has been done , but never heard the results. then it would be an apples to apples comparison.

Yup, kinda tough when the Lightning guys are talking pulleys swaps and they actually improve the performance markedly! Factory boosted vehicles seem to sure have the "bang for your buck" mods covered, and cheaply! Where are the SyTys of 2009 and beyond..? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stock srt4 would put hands on a stock ss for sure yet alone a stg3... those are damn fast and from a roll its game over for the ss cuz those neons pull pretty damn hard (stg 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly impressive. BUT! I'm still not a real fan, nor do I usually run around on the internet defending them. ;) And if Krambo or Chase or other guys with big performances numbers kicked a SRT4 stage3 to the curb I would be impressed AND proud for them. They have sooooo much time work and money into their trucks it shows in their timeslips. For it to be a "no big deal" to one of them, well... that's a different story, for sure!

In the late 70's a Corvette was top of the heap with a 16 second 1/4 mile time. For a stock truck to do a 16 second 1/4 mile time would have been a pipe dream. Along comes technology, and trucks are running faster than 16 second 1/4 mile times, stock. I watched a Typhoon when they came out hit the track, it was like a kid finding bubble gum! In today's world it would be quick still, but everything else has gotten so much faster, it's truly unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
