So anyways this is the race that I had with a white 2001 ford lightning, ok My twin brother was down on leave from the navy, we were out cruizin on a Sunday night, me and my bro were bored, finall we ran into a black Ram Air Trans Am, had a couple of young teenage guys in it so i figured they might want to play, so I got up on the side of them and started punching it and letting off, trying to have them take off at the same time, when i was letting off going about 35 I heard him drop a gear and floor it he made them tires scream for at least four seconds his pipes were loud. I watch for a while he lets off then i catch them and yell over to him, if he would run that thing from a stop light with me and he says yeah, but he had to go to walleyworld and that he would find me when he got out. So I said see ya laters and went out cruising the strip again, a newer style GT Grand Am with the nostrile hood, was glowing green and cruisin bout 30, we went at it a few times from that speed, i raped him every time up to 60 by about 12 or so car lenghts. We stayed out trying to find that Trans Am. Never did we decided to cruiz the strip one more time. And as luck would have it I spot this white lightning that I had been seeing in the daytime but could never turn around and catch in time with all of the trafic. I was going back through town he was going the other way, the streets were pretty empty so i flipped a b#tch and caught up to him. And like i did to that Trans Am I would punch it and let off trying to have us take off at the same time. when i let off mabe a car length ahead of him I could hear that supercharger winding up I let him getabout to my back wheels and i floored it but he had more momentum and he slowly started to pull on me, mabe to about half of a car length. Then he slowed down, i pulled up to the side of him and asked him if he wan'ted to race me from a stop, he was all smiles and said "hell yeah!" So I followed him all the was to the end of town
and we got turned around in the two lanes of trafic, I was in the left lane with my twin bro. He was in the right cruizin with his chick. I told him to let me build my boost, he was doing the same and said to tell him when i was ready, I built 5 psi and told my bro to tell him i was ready, and count us down, on three he throws his hand down, i'm looking over at the lightning and he fly's back so hard that it wasn't even funny, I imediately jump out in front of his at least 12 carlenghts and were rollin, i continue to slowly loose him up to about 65 then he slowly starts gaining and picking up momentum and he comes faster, we went all the way to 90 before i shut it down and i was still like 6 or 7 lengths in front of him. It was a hell of a rush, and the speed limit was only 40 over their. I got scared and shut it down.

After we were finished we stopped at circle K and bullsh#tted for a while
The guy says that he has a freind in El Paso that is running the same parts that he has put into his lightning and was dynoed at 477 rwhp and i beleive 513 ft lbs of torque. He was pretty cool to he didn't talk crap or make any kinds of excuses, he gave me props and i gave him props for his sweet a$$ ride, he even said that he'd never been beaten like that before, he said that he didn't always get the whole shot everytime, but he could always catch whoever was is front of him. :D When he said that it made me feel really good!

What all do you have done to your truck?? For you to beat a 450+HP and 500+ FTLBS (friend ran a 12.5 with 420HP and 502ftbls)

And by 12 cars, and then 6-7. Not to be the red headed step child but sounds like a big fish story to me.

But good kill none the less.
 

TYRODD

My ass. Look at it.
Werd to that Danen, 12 lengths seem a little far fetched. :-?


Im just breaking your balls dude! :D

A 470 rwhp Lightning will run well into the 11's. Not calling BS and I understand the launch advantage, but he may have "over-estimated" his rwhp.
