Default Lightning runs.

SO a couple of friends and i went to Mcallen TX. i took my lightning they took their chevys. one of my friends had a g tech timer and ran the 0-60 and 1/4 mile time on it. anyways my time 0-60 was 5.2xx . 1/4 13.4xx the weather was like 52 F and some light rain. but i ran somewhere where there was no rain. are those good times for a lightning? my friends 04 rcsb 5.3 ran a 15.1 with like 300 miles. i told them that was pretty good.my other friends trucks ran 15s all day.



13.4 fast!

13.8-14.0 is about the norm in DA over 1000 feet. get into the fall winter air of TX and it will go faster. i think that Gtech is a little much. take it to the track. so much depends on the road you were in. 13.4 would be on the extreme end.

and no one is replying because people dont care over here. most still think Ls run mid 14s lol. bring a slip and others will respond. mostly to pick on ya i wont

That's not true.... Most of the guys in here totally respect Lightnings from what I've seen...

I don't think many people are responding because it was a G-Tech time and while it is a good ballpark, it can be seriously screwed up if the person doesn't know how to use it correctly. IE racing on uneven surfaces etc.
