The truck is a blast....see pic below



I am probably in the mid to high 12's now that I have added a six pound pulley......14 psi of boost in this 85* HUMID a$$ weather!!!! The Lightning is faster I would have to say, but I get more looks in the 'Bird. Appreciate the comments

I like everything in the pics except for the two vehicles.


No, really, nice looking rides. There's a guy down here with an 02 Lightning, Red w/Yellow Racing Stripes and he's into the 11s on drag radials last time I talked to him at the car show.

Personally, I'm holding out for one of two things. A DECENT Colorado SS ( I'm not getting my hopes up though )

Or the new Lightning based on the new trucks. I saw the concept for that thing, AND *** ******* ****!!! I wanted it right then and there. The 500 horse engine and T56 6 speed manual didn't hurt either.

BTW man, awesome cars!

Met the guy at a couple of SVT gatherings....Seems alright of a guy, but the yellow got to go
