'95 vr-4 Vs. Ford Lightning

[girly girl]

i raced a ford lightning on the highway last night heading home from Middletown, NY on I-84 heading East. we raced from a 60-70mph roll up till around 130'ish.... damn those things are fast!! the dude was shooting blue flames out his exhaust!!! and the sound... mmm... such a nice sound from a truck. we were dead even (he had a jump start, but wasn't pulling away from me at ALL) up till around 110-120'ish. after that, i started pulling him in then shut down cuz the road gets kinda curvy, and the last thing i need to do is be taking curves at 130+ mph ... soooo fun :D ahh, gotta love the adrenaline rush.

we raced about 4 or 5 times... each time he got a head start, but never pulled anymore on me. i dunno what he had done to it, but damn... i think i want one :dancingco

figured i'd share :D g'night

If I was going to buy any truck, it would be a Ford Lightning. I'm not much of a truck guy.

yeah those lightnings are bad ass

[l3it3r]

got a video around here somewhere of me and a lightning going at it on the way home from Nopi. SRT 1 - SVT 0

[Me007gold]

you weight like 1/2 of what he weights, what do you expect?

[l3it3r]

lol, yeah, but still.. the look on the guys face (which my camera man TOTALLY missed) was classic.

[Me007gold]

ha! great

haha yea, the look on this dude's face after we raced a few times and i rolled my window down and he realized i was a girl... haha... he did like a double take and his jaw dropped, then he gave me a huge ass grin and a thumbs up :dancingco haha was great :D

i think i would take the SRT-10 over a Lightning. i like them both, but i'm more of a dodge guy myself.

what do you have done to your vr-4? there is a guy around here that has one running 11s, he spins all 4 tires into 2nd.

here is a pic of his, looks so hot.

yeah but how much dose the SRT-10 cost, you can get the lighting for about 30k

[chunky]

the dodge web site says $45,795.
the ford/SVT site says $33,000.

i would still rather have the SRT-10, looks better IMO and is faster.

[Me007gold]

looks not a chance Flair sides > flat sides

[girly girl]

my car is stock. can't spin any tires in any gear :(

I would choose the Ram SRT-10 truck over that. More power....and its a MANUAL transmission. Ford SVT is an automatic.

I would opt for a Joe Gibbs Chevy

I would opt for a Joe Gibbs Chevy
http://www.joegibbsperformance.com/sec.htmlJoe Gibbs Chevy is pretty much just a supercharged 5.3L V8 w/ dual exhaust or if u want a manual tranny its a supercharged 4.8L V8 w/ dual exhaust. Chevy let me down w/ their SS Truck. It should have been a High Output 8.1L V8...not a Escalade edition 6.0L V8.

good race.

roy, long time no see!! didnt expect to see that sig

I would love an SRT-10, but imagine paying for gas, it get 10MPG
The guy that owns the Harley dealership here owns a nice array of vehicles, has a yellow Viper, Red SRT-10, jacked/beefed out silverado with camelion paints or whatever its called. He also owned a red Lightning and a couple msucle cars which he likely still has... anyways. He stomped on it downtown one day inbetween all the buildings and holy hell, every single person on the sidewalks prolly soiled their pants thinking they were getting bombed.

Oh and another lighting experience, I was in my Nissan Pathfinder heading up highway 11 doing 165km/h top out (its geared high) when an F-150 lightning swerves around me and absolutely hauls past me :)

[NCTotalEclipse]

bah... there's a Pro-street drag truck around here. The blower stands up at or above the level of the top. :bowdown: Meaty tires, wheelie bars, chute, etc. And yes, it is streeted. It scared the hell outta me 1 night.

Damn, lightings own.

[hyjnx]

ive talked to a guy who owns a viper out here he said he rode in the SRT-10 ram...and he was like its basically a street car with a bed...the bed is a biatch to use though u gotta remove the wing and the tail hitch to open it and all that but he loved it...good kill...u in a bone stock vr4 keepin with a mod'd lightning...

[methos]

my dad has a '00 lightning that is just bad as anything. it is pushing somewhere around 460hp and 500 lb of torque. everybody says that the supercharger is loud and makes it sound mean. plus, he put 20's on it and a kiiller system in it. im gonna buy him projector headlights for his b-day next month also. and im pushing for him to get a lambo door conversion kit.

I love the Lightning, but I'd take the srt10 if i was going to buy a truck like that.

bleh. lambo doors would look tacky on a TRUCK. lol sports cars, exotics, show cars, etc... those are ACCEPTABLE, but NOT on a truck dude. lol trucks are bad-ass... not "oooh look at me! i can flap my doors" :p

just a personal thought :)

[ProMSL]

I Love This Girl!!!!!!!

[Tonk]

Yeah, lambo doors are gay on anything other than a lambo, especially on a truck.

[jkklim]

nice race.

SRT-10 = $50,000 dollars
my 2000 Lightning = $20,000 dollars, $30,000 i have to spend from not spending all that money on a truck the size of a boat, easy 10 sec lightning and a hot tub in my room

srt-10s r fast but they r huge and handle like a big ass tuck, come ride in my lightning... it handles and does everything else like a car

it only takes around $1,500 to bring a lightning up to 500 hp

SRT-10 = big ass expensive boat

ive beat an M3 and a and an SRT-4 up till around 115, u cant expect a box, not matter how much hp it has to run very powerful over 120

def lightning all the way

I'll still take the SRT-10 anyday of the week...just b/c it has a 6 speed Hurst Shifter and a 500 watt sound system stock. Somebody forgot to tell Ford that they need to include manual trannys in their SVT vehicles. I may retract my SRT-10 preference if Ford includes a manual tranny in their new Lightning.
