i was just cruising to galveston to turn in a bid for my company when all of a sudden a hispanic guy in a "newest model" lightning comes up beside me and starts revving his engine then jumping and braking. i ignore him at first cause i have another guy i work with following me. (we have to take 2 cars just in case one breaks down, so we have another to get the bid in on time)

anyways,he keeps this crap up for about a mile so finally i tell him "lets go" we slow down to around 55-60 and i dump it into 3rd and we're off. i kept about a car on him the whole time but i had to shut it down around 85-90 due to light traffic and the guy i work with still following me[&:]

the lightning guy rolls down his window and starts doing the same crap again, only this time, he's hanging out his window. this time i am responsible and ignore him and he peels off the highway a couple exits down

not a long race but a race none the less...i'll take the victory...although i must say, he couldnt have been stock cause i didnt really pull on him much

 

What do you have for mods?? They tend to trap around 102~103mph stock for the 02+ models and run mid 13s (obviously looking at the 'best' times there)

 

steeda CAI/ brenspeed tune
U/D pulleys
CMCV
JBA L/T headers, O/R H-pipe, exhaust
spyder driveshaft
BMR suspension
3.73 gears
hurst S/S

some other odds and ends.

i was putting down 330hp/340tq to the wheels before the spyder driveshaft...no dyno yet but one is in order as soon as my zex kit comes in

 

^^^^ those are very impresssive numbers ur stang lays down with bolt ons,good kill

 

x2......Nice Kill. The L definately had some mods to keep that close. I would guess exhaust/tune/pulley.

 

good kill!

 

good kill dude

 

Was it a red lightning?? If so I may have known the guy..haha

 

You got a strong car, and for the Lightning to be even close, is impressive. That was one quick truck. Props to both of you.

 

Nice kill man, but some of them lighnings can be really quick!
