Well Patriot I have thought about it. You know the fastest Lightnings are 7s, dont think I will have one of the fastest. That said plans are to make it faster then the Taurus. Probably a 351 stroker with a little boost in the future...  Yeah Vadorsnake I have actually been looking at some weight reduction. It is not bad as it sits for a full size truck at 4620. That said I think she has about 400-500 lbs she could loose. Dropped that 100 lbs bumper for a 20 lb roll pan type fiberglass is one of my ideas. |

I know those freaking Ford guys. My Taurus has broken more then a few egos and a couple local Vette owners flat out steer clear of it The 15 second Lightning on the other hand just has the looks, still working on the gogo faster part. |

Yeah, but in my opinion, you did VERY well on your purchase. I love Lightnings of any year and you, sir, have a beautiful truck. |

lol that was actually a shot at the James Gang... but cool truck Looked for one just for you, this is an 408 SBF with a Turbonetics though. That still counts right? Big, heavy, boxy Gen 1 in the 7s. Not the fastest SBF Lightning either I (maybe fastest first Gen though). Just looking for fun, NOT cause I want to drag mine!!!! www.dragtruk.com/ENTRIES/P5B5XNRGUN7I.html |
