ssjonathan Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have a interesting question. There is no doubt the Lightning trucks are fast and very quick. The Harley Davidson Ford is also supercharged!! I have been wanting to be beside a Harley Davidson Ford at a traffic light for months, and I got my chance a few days ago. Besides a few exterior changes and a true Flowmaster 40 series exhaust I am stock. At the light I really didin't punch it at first, but he spun the tires a little and you could hear the supercharger wine. I stomped it and took him by about two car lengths up to about 70 MPH and I kept gaining. We slowed down because we were intering the city limits where cops are ticket hungry I was very impressed with the my stock SS. Any ideas as to why the Harley Davidson is so much slower, besides the obvious added weight of the extended cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Are you sure it was a blown version? The earlier versions were not blown. If it's an extended cab, then it's not blown. The blown version was a crew cab. Anyway, they can be beat in a 1/8 mile race, but any more than that and the SS will get hit with that 3rd gear slow down.

DemonSilverado Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 No Chance In Hell. You proally got a 99-00 model with no blower. Even a factory freak SS isn't going to hang with an HD stock on stock. The SS sure as HELL isn't going to pull on the HD up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd0223 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I don't know, he might not be making up stories. I was over at the Texas Motorplex and John Force was testing his funny car and I asked if I could run the SS against his car and I really thought those funny cars were faster. I think I beat him by at least four truck lenghts......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Stock Blown Harleys run 14.6 in the quarter. They beat the SS but not by much. If the guy was slow on the draw and spun his tires and a short race I beleive him. Beyond 70 he will catch you and go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have actually seen them perform worse than that at the track, however also saw a "stock" one doing 13's. Hard to tell anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandostert Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I ran into one. He flat out won the race. I was still stock. I think now I could take him. The worst loss was still the corrolla S. I felt like a chump on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
