My friend has a lightning and is talking mad trash to people we both know that'll he stomp me. Haven't taking him up on a race b/c he modded out the wazoo. I guessing he's pulling high 12's to low 13's so i'm sure i'm outmatched but any time he wants to take it to a road course i'm game.

The Lightning is quick despite its weight and awesome aerodynamics.
A 2001 I believe has 8PSI, 380HP, and 450 ft lbs of torque. Rear tires are 295.
Popular Mechanics tested a 2000 (360hp) and ran a 13.62 at 101.xx, 0-60 in 5.3x. Not bad for nearly 4700 lbs.

that would make sense since stock lightning are speed limited to 120.
Stock S will have a difficult time with a Lightning.
Not saying it couldn't happen, but is there really a winner in a very close street race?

I ran one on the toll road about a year ago with GF in the car and... top down 
80-135mph at first he had a one car jump but I cought up and at 135 mph I was one car ahead
always race in Vtec and top up... I have lost a few over the past year with top down

Lightning are speed limited to 143 mph....
A stock Lightning vs a stock S2K...I put my money on the Lightning. High 13's to low 14's are common ET's for Lightnings. If it is cold enough...expect mid 13's.
My Lightning ran stock 13.91@102.5 mph @ 4850 lbs raceweight with 2.2 60's.
$1400 later and 150 lbs lighter I ran 12.61@112.8 mph with 1.9 60's.
93 octane, stock tires.

a member posted this video earlier this year.
his car is pretty sick and he has a lot of kills in the video. In 1 of the scenes, he comes up against what looks like a Lightning and gets smoked pretty badly. Do not under estimate detroit muscle in a straight line!
enjoy...
