Default Finally Raced a Lightning

Been waiting a long time for this, and caught up to one at a light finally. I wasn't sure if he was going to race me, but i barely took off and he stayed even with me. Then he just layed on it and I did right after him through the intersection. I caught up to him right when I caught traction and started pulling hard on him. I got two trucks ahead of him, and by the time i hit 100 I had to turn around just to see where he was at, then let off. I was excited but just couldn't believe wtf happened to him. He pulled off into another street and I just turned around and went home. I was atleast 6 trucks ahead of him. It had exhaust and whined like a ****. It was great, but really disappointing at the same time. A few friends knew the guy in the truck and say he's a 12 second truck. ( we usually meet up at in n out on saturdays, and they know who he is). I just can't believe I'd rip him a new **** that bad. It was awesome either way!

I've seen a lot of "12 second lightnings" that run high 13s lol. They're really not all that fast with the stock blower because they like to get really heat soaked. But I don't know anything about the truck, so it could be modded quite a bit. Good kill!

We arent afraid to line up.....

If you want to run a lightning that bad, go on their forums and post in their local section. It's not hard. And good job on the kill.
