hmmm... Looking at that 01 lightning it is saying it runs the 1/4 mile at 13.9
Are they that much slower than the newer ones?

I've seen mustangs with exhaust run that. If you can drive your car, theres a good possibility you can beat him from a dig.

I also think it will be a good race. Do you think flowmasters, air silencer removed, k&n cone filter, and off-road h-pipe will work? Maybe a short throw shifter too?
My car is manual.

I beat a 99' with those mods, but replace the H with an X.

I have an 02' GT with Flowmasters and Eibach springs. My friend has an 01' Lightning with Flowmasters. We are planning on racing sometime. I'm going to need a few more bolt-ons to beat him. Nitrous is not an option though. Gears will probably be my first choice. Also I will remove the air silencer and get a K&N cone filter. What else should I get to outrun his truck? I also need lots of practice driving because I've only been driving a straight drive for a couple of months.

He's going get you from a dig or a roll if all your going to get are gears and K&N. You need way more then that to beat them. They heavy trucks but are very quick. When I had my LS1 WS6 M6 I got beat by one not to bad. He beat me by half a truck and could get passed that point. He had a K&N and Exhaust I just had a Lid and a K&N.

The one I raced was supercharged. I don't know what years came with them or didn't come with it. If he does have one though he going to get you with the mods you going to get.
