I was in tampa and I pulled up to a red light where a Dodge Viper GTS and a SVT Lightning where having rev wars. I though I would get involved so I reved up as well. My supercharged s2k sounded like a kitten next to two lions. Anyways, the light turned green and I was off. At first, I got the jump and though to my self "damn i'm good" but once the Viper and Lightning grabbed they flew by me like I was stopped!!!! This was at about 30mph. The both were so far ahead of me I was going to just give up, but I was curious to see who would win between the two of them. Common sense only says that a little Dodge Viper would whip a hugh beastly Ford f150 but that is not always true. The Lighting and Viper ran kneck to kneck up to about 85 and then, (I think the Lightning juced) the lightning just took off like a bat out of hell!!!!! I pulled into the gas station where the two pulled in together to talk. ( they were already out of their cars and talking. Turns out they were brothers and the one just got a new Viper and was talking shit about the others lightning. Sure enough, the lightning was heavily modifed with a 100 shot of Nos. The guy said he can easily run an 11 sec quarter at the track.
I don't know alot about the Lightning, But any truck that can destroy a Viper like it is stopped is unhuman!!!!!! These trucks are BAD ASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

 

Damn...that sounds like it woulda been awesome to see!

 

The Lightning is no joke. It is really an amazing vehicle. Most peolpe usually run mid to high 12's with bolt on's. (No Nos)Off the line, in most cases an S2K would be no match, but I think it would be interesting if the race was a roll from 80. Although it is still a truck most would be amazed at the way it handles. Of course it is not that impressive once you hop out of an s2k






Peace,

Wow! . I'm glad that the Lightning was modded.

 

Modded Lightning, shiet. WITH NOS!!

Time to get nos for my car

 

380 HP stock. With lots of room to grow. Thats one truck I bow down to. Ford can do some things right.

 

Thank-you

I have been looking for a lightning battle tale for a while.

A few months ago I came across one and the driver was putting along and would not play.

 

I always tease a buddy of mine at work about racing his SVT. Guess I won't be doing that anymore..

 

I always knew Lightnings were bad, but now that I know, I think I am in the market for one. I was kinda pissed that they didn't race the Lightning in The Fast and the Furious. That damn truck could probably beat the hell out of most of the cars in that movie.

 

Not quite, dude.
