Which is about 4703 Furlongs from 11 second 1/4 mile times

Even high 12's is optimistic for a stocker......high 13's-low 14's is the norm.

13.8s was the quoted time...
(if memory serves me correctly)


Do you have any idea HOW fast an 11s 1/4mile is?

Probably not. A car running in the 11's will be trapping in the 120+ mph range, probably closer to 130mph.

For me, that truck looks way too bulky for a sport truck. Too tall, too wide, too long....

It would look better and probably perform better in a shortbox standard cab form.

Cayuga race track isn't by any chance a 1/8th mile or 1000ft track is it? I'm not saying you can't boost the pee out of a Lightning and get it into the 11's. But I am saying that the chances are higher that gold Krugerrands will start falling from my posterior before a stock Lightning runs an 11.0 in the 1320

If my memory serves me correctly, is there even a drap strip at Cayuga? I thought is was strictly an oval track.

Sounds like a 1/4 mile track. A Lightning could do 11 seconds, but it would be FAR from stock...
