Call me crazy...but I think the previous generation Lightnings (like the one you have, 203Cree) will be faster than the new Lightnings, if SVT releases them. Aren't the 2004+ F150's heavy? I think those 22" wheels will slow it down too. I've always liked the Lightnings and I'll take the previous generations before that new Lightning.

That's pretty cool...

Yea Silver I think you should definitely go 99silver6.0! You can either pm one of the mods/admins like onyx suggested, and/or I think there's even a place to request user title changes in the site suggestion forum

Back to the LS2 equipped truck, I don't think it would look so bad if they replaced the rice rocket front bumper with a regular one. As for the 1/4 times, looking at the 1700rpm@ 60 mph spec, I'd say the thing is geared way too tall for the wheels. Either put on some smaller wheels, or a 4.56 axle, and I'll bet the performance improves dramatically.

I would think so. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

It wouldn't surprise me if you've seen me around here. I live off of Moonlight on the south side of 56.

And you guys can call me Rob. That's why I put my name in my sig, so people would remember it.

If they are pushin 417hp through a stock 4L65E it probably has a shitload of tq managment or else the factory warranty would be replacing tranny's after 10K miles.

What was Ford thinking? Yes, ladies & gentlemen the 1998 Nascar Edition F150. Probably the ugliest truck ever seen in person.



At least Chevy wont put the Speeway ed. in production.
