who gives a **** man... everyone already knows the srt is faster than an ss.. how many times do you need people to tell you that? i can write a a screensaver for you that will type out "srt is the greatest car on the planet and nothing will ever beat it" millions of times if you would like.

the srt thing is for real getting old, they should just delete this entire area and maybe the trolls will stop coming and the srt owners that actually contribute information and such could just post around in the other areas of this forum

I go to Raceway Park every now and then. to watch my buddy auto x, and there are a couple of Lightning’s that are there on a regular basis. You'll know if you’re racing one, because the supercharger is ridiculously loud, I mean so loud you can hear it from more than 1/4 mile away.

I don't believe that either truck is stock, but I have seen them run very close to 12 flat. As it was explained to me, for about a 1g in mods you can turn them into very consistent 12 second cars. Just as simple as a pulley set, a few other toys, and an ecu reprogram.

Moral of the story? Don't mess with trucks that say SVT, unless you enjoy an ass kicking. My friend actually raced one at EVO v STI day, and lets just say I'm still teasing him about it. "Guy dusted you off, and after this he's going to Home Depot to pick up some 2x4's and a toilet."

i really wish that video still worked.. too bad it's an old post. 13.1 in one of those trucks stock sounds like it's kick ass
13.1 is crazy fast for a stock one. I was surprised myself when I beat him too. It's a good thing I had a passenger and a few friends following me for proof.

well, it has an SVT engine in there, doesnt have the signature plate, but its still the same exact engine as a svt lightning, except for slightly different pulley size

Dang, this thread stinks... did someone fart?

Oh, nevermind; I see that CodySS opened his mouth. I guess when you're as full as **** as he is, your breath is expected to stink.


The lightnings are kind of an odd performance vehicle. I've seen a local truck (some mods) run mid 13's trapping in the 95-98mph area. I don't have the timeslip where I ran him, but IIRC, his times looked very similiar to mine up to about the 1/8 mile, where the "flying brick aerodynamics" took over and slowed him down. IIRC, he hit about 80mph in the 1/8 mile on the slip I had, gaining about 16-17mph on the back half of the track, whereas I (modified) hit 82mph, gaining 22-23mph on the back half.

OK please don't read into my original post that I said my Denali beat a Lighting. I clearly stated that it was a 2wd single cab F150 and was NOT a Lightning but it did have SVT badges on it. I believe selfinfliction (the originator of this thread) was ALSO questioning if the truck he came across was true Lightning! Neither of us claimed to beat a Lightning but are wondering (me atleast) if FMC is sending trucks to SVT for slight upgrades NOT the full Lighting treatment. The truck I came across sounded better (ran better too) and had a slightly lowered stance. It was more then just SVT badges but how much more I guess is my question. Is Ford making a SVT truck that's NOT a Lighting?
Oh yea I'll save someone the trouble... My Denali got beat by SRT-4 once! So I guess I "beat ya!"

The only time I get off topic is when one of you or another waste of time posts.
Am I getting to you yet?

Where are these false performance numbers at? I never said the SS puts down low 14 second passes....

Ok, the HD F-150 was just an appearance package until '03, when the blower was put into it. It's a 5.4L blown V8 like the Lightning, but it doesn't have the SVT upgrades (lower compression pistons, upgraded bottom-end, intake manifold), but instead is the basic corporate motor with the supercharger.

340HP
425 tq
3.73 gears

BTW, a used '03 still goes for over $30k

False performance numbers? I can back up every single one of my personal claims with a timeslip. Where's your proof. Oh that's right, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF. There's no proof that you're even a real person vs some "made up" fantasy of some 15 yo Magazine Racer.

We are going to throw a pulley on his Lightining tonight and we are going to take it to the track this weekend. He also bought some wheels and some DR too.

Any guesses on performance
- Predator tune
- Borla muffler
- Pulley & tensioner upgrade from RPM Outlet

This will also be the last track visit for my Camaro too.....

I won't even waste my time or space arguing with your dumb reply. You sound more like the 15 year old more and more
Cody you are arguing with him. Insults like that are argument.
