Is that only powertrain? Hmmm.......didn't know that. In that case your safe!

 

Unless you need the extra room, keep the Lightning. Gas mileage won't be any better, tires are...well tires.....I vote keep the Lighting. I think you'd regret it.

 

get the SS, you will love it. its a great ride, and turns heads everywhere you go. the extended cab and AWD never fails to come in handy. i used to ride in my buddies lightning all the time, and i absolutely loved it....its damn fast even bone stock, but we both agreed the SS is a much nicer vehicle. if you have some extra $$ aside or even some time to save of that $$ and mod as you go, you can easily make the SS as fast or faster than a stock or lightly modded lightning with less than 3-4 grand and still have a great looking truck, a heck of alot more room, and AWD for the just in case times.

of course i just reread that it has the 100,000 mile warranty on it. if your concerned with the warranty and not going fast, its still a nice truck, and will at least whip on up the hemis out there good luck either way, they are both awesome trucks.

 

I'll trade you straight across.... your Lightning for my truck.

Good luck.

 

He has a magnacharger, FLP longtubes, yank TT3000, transgo, and billet servos. His mileage is decent, I think about 13 around town and 18 on the freeway.

 

$24000 seems a little high doesn't it. my brother bought his 03 ss brand new, i think it had 150 miles on it. he gave about 27 or 28000 for it. i might be mistaken but that seems a little high. i know when i was working at a chevy dealership i was looking into buying one myself and in louisiana the dealerships couldn't get rid of em. oh yeah, they are very nice trucks. thats just my opinion
