Default 03 Lightning vs 07 GT

I was out with my friend last night looking for some races. Couldnt find anything all night. I was sitting at a gas station talking on my cell phone when this guy in a SVT Lightning pulls up beside me and stops. He gives me a nod and a thumbs up and then points to the highway. Im guessing that he hadnt raced a new Stang or something and hes curious as to how he will do, I dunno. Seemed like a cool guy though. Well, un fortunately he kinda picked abad mustang to run, seeing as how my car looks 100% stock from the outside, theres no way he knew what he was in for. We get out onto the highway and hefloors it on the entrance ramp, but I kinda hold off because I wanna do it right, side by side with a fair start. I catch up to him and signalto him that Im gonna do 3 honks. We slow to about 45 and line up. I give the 3 honks, let him jump first to make sure, then I floor it and leap out ahead of him instantly . At the end of second Ive got like 3 lengths on him. By the end of third it seemed like 8 or 9, I mean I was really pulling him hard. By the end of4th he was fading pretty fast in the rearview. We got off at the next exit and pulled into a parking lot to talk. He was pretty stunned. He said "Please dont tell me thats stock". I was like no not really. He was cool so I poped the hood and showed him, made him feel a little better. Said I surprised the hell out of him. I always wanted to run a supercharged Lightning. It was pretty cool.

Basic boltons and gearing will walk a stock or mostly stock Lightning easily, especially as the speed increases.

You have a chance if he's stock, but not many are stock. My H/D is heavier than the L and runs low 13's.

Do you know anything about the Lighting? Mods? Year?

What do you have done to you Harley truck?

It is pretty cool that you can get a factory supercharged F-150 in regular cab, ext. cab, or crew cab.
