My TA vs. Ford Lightning?

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

and you guys crack me up...I laid waste to a lid, exhaust 2001 ls1 Z28 this weekend...but will also admit that his buddy in a cammed ls2 GTO made me cry

I was directing it at the ricers and mis-directed domestic owners. Like the youngins that think a stock SRT4 (no stages) can beat a T/A. I don't think your either one.

[QUOTE=ZAPFOOL!!;658826]he must of feathered it too much or spun them on the low end...but yeah on the top end we get "brick in the wind" syndrome[/QUOTE

With his weight he just couldnt 60' like an LS1 F body, I run 1.8 60' and he was around 2.2, it was a great race though.

A friend of mine is talking shit about this svt lightning that he has, it's bone stock and he wants to run me for some cash tomorrow at ATCO,NJ. My car ran a 13.3@105 bone stock since then I've added tr55's,10.4 wires,160stat,MTI lid,Tsp Rumbler CB,and 342's. I have'nt ran it yet since the new mods. Should I take'm or am I introuble I don't know what svt lightning's run stock but I know that they are quick so should I raise the waiger or fall back?

Racing a bone stock Lightening is about as common as racing a bone stock LS1. I have a 2002 F150 Harley with a pulley swap and tune and it surprises me how quick it is. I know it is not as quick as my WS6 but just be careful when you race your friends Lightening. That particular powerplant can be made really fast with a few mods that you won't see but you'll hear when the screaming baby under the hood goes by.

^^they can be scary, and everyone lies... ^^ many a times I have thrown a jacket in the backseat over the bottle to try and pass for "stock car with exhaust"

[NvyBluMtlc02WS6]

I don't know about the 98's, but I've whooped up on several Lightnings. You shouldn't have a problem.

actually if I were to purchase another car right now the lightning would be very high on my list. very easy to mod and surprisingly fast

I have a 2000 Trans Am(m6) and my bro has a 2001 Lightning. When we was both stock he was running a 8.7-8.8 in the 1/8th. I was running 8.9-9.0 in the 1/8th. Not saying im the best driver in the world but I was never able to beat him when I was stock. Than he put a pulley on there and had it tuned. I got him the 1st time we lined up together me stock, him with a pulley bc he spun like a bitch but that was the only time I beat him stock. Now I beat up on that poor little lightning all day with no problem. STS turbo has alot to do with that. If it was me I wouldn't race him for money because I know what they will do. Maybe race him for a car wash or something like that. Unless your not talking about alot of money. Actually the picture to the left is my turbo in the back of his truck HAHAHA.

yes, its very easy to sneak in a 4 pound lower pulley without anyone knowing

[00TAWS6]

If im remembering right his is a 6# pulley. Not sure though he did like 400 rwhp and 520 rwtq. Sound about right?
