Wink Ran into a Harley F-150 owner, he said...

His truck runs low 11's in the quarter with no modifications!! I almost spit my coffee out! He is a salesman and we were bs'in and he just mentioned that.

I just checked out Motor Trend and teh 2003 Lightning did a 13.7 quarter. And his Harley supercrew cab is heavier and puts out less power, about 40 hp less.

When he comes over again I'm gonna ask him for his e-mail so I can mail him those links that I found.

Uhhh...I raced one last night from a dead stop. I got no traction off the line so I let off then feathered it until I could stomp it.
He only took me by 1 1/2 to 2 truck lengths about...tops
I heard that blower working...if it even is working
When we pulled up to the next light he had this big grin on his face like he beat a Ferrari or something

I can never find one willing to race,but Lightnings will usually bite.It really pisses the off to get beat by a Tahoe.
