Default F150 Lightning!

My good friends older brother just bought a f150 lightning. People in school make all kinda hype about my S2k.. so when my friend says his bro got this lightning, immediately theyre saying.. race the s2k on homecoming night. Welp, of course the kid starts shit talking saying his lightning will beat me this and that. Everyone pulled the no replacement for displacement, 380 horses supercharged whatever whatever. Ends up on homecoming night, i have my car and his bro let him take the lightning out to homecoming. After driving around for awhile, after homecoming, everyones saying to race him and hell show me my s2k isnt as hot as i think. Well, i didnt say anything through all the talk because honestly, i thought id eat me alive. So we line up at a light, i drop at 6 grand(sorry baby) and he still pulled about 1/4 a car or truck ahead of me. Through 2nd i pulled even, good shift to third, through third i inch past him by about 1/8 car then to about 110 or so he stayed where he was. He hasnt say anything to me since except that he didnt think the car would do that, and that hes sorry for being an ass. lets just say alot of people gained more respect for the S2k...

very easy. Just go back and read your post and proofread. Just like when you're writing a paper. Except this time it's not graded but we all can have a better understanding of what you're trying to communicate J/K

I guess the lightning was bone stock. Good run.

A chip/pulley or basically any type of mod and he would have beat you.

Nice run, they are pretty similar in 1/4 mile times stock. They can be beasts with afew mods, but most Lightnings I have seen are stock. You would smoke him on the freeway as well. We raced on on th efreeway, but we were in the Evo and we pulled away from him pretty good. They start to run out of steam up top.

An ex-S2000 owner now owns a Lightning and that thing is just crazy. She (that's right guys, the owner is a girl) changed the pulley and ecu. She dynoed at 435 rwhp and 520 rwtq, totally insane to drive, definately fun 1/4 mile at a time but, I told her I would race her as long as we put a curve in the midlle of our race.
