A guy I see around town all the time has a lightning, and a mutual friend said he hates mustangs and wants to race me. My question is what are consistant 1/4 times on stock lightnings.

Easy turbo .... if you run mid 13's than go for it! If his truck is stock you shouldnt have a problem.

I was refering to 99 and up... and I have never seen a stock one make it in the 12's at the strip, I have seen some with many mods and slicks in the low 12's

remember what hooks on the street and at the track are alot different.
drag radials generally hook better at the track, and street tires hook better on the street.
