Haha...saw a race last night!

Was at Chili's last night with a couple of friends. Hear some revving at a light behind us. Turn around (as did like 30 other people in front of Chili's), the light turns green, a little burned rubber, and watched a Lightning smoke one of the new-style Mustangs. Awesome to watch, you guy's trucks really sound great when they're runnin' at their peak.

Anyways, just wanted to say way to go, I envy every one of you!

I've put about 3000mi on a stock 02 lightning...

Put about 10k on the tires

The power is up there...it will break traction at 70mph on the hwy in the rain when you punch it. I've done it more than once.

I would SOOOOO love to have one of the last few year models of the Lightning. Haven't even ridden in a performance vehicle in so long...... 'Course...with gas turning into Caviar, maybe it's good I don't have one.

Mine will sometimes break traction when I'm doing 70 when it's DRY!!!! But, then again, I'm modded!!! 602 hp to the rear wheels can be downright dangerous.
