See this is the problem with a v8. Too much power. If you race a v8 vs a turbo or a supercharged car by the time the v8 is done spinning its wheels the other car would be across the finish line.
dude, do do you have any clue what your talking about? the lightning is a supercharged v8 and i'm pretty sure there were no any traction issues. and if you are reffering to a turbo charge 4 cylinder or v6 then you need to grow a pair and become interested in some real cars. and what are you talking about v8 for? any car with enough power can have traction issues
Really the problem is... The P235/40/18 pizza cutter tires. An 04' Nissan Maxima has wider tires than this GTO. Stock sizes in the 17" wheel is P245/45/17 which is slightly better but this car needs 275 tires atleast. 285's like the C6 would be perfect, although I think you have to roll the rear fenders for anything wider than a 275 on the GTO.
my lightning ran 14.0 stock .... so your 350 with 500 lift is what i call a money pit that has no ass behind it. it might be time for you to do some research or find another builder.. my lightning is now in the 10 sec club....
the nearest 1/4 mile track is 2 hours away. the last time i ran there the truck went 7.79 in the 1/8th and 12.15 in the quarter. since then I have gotten it downs to a 7.69 in the 1/8th. getting ready to do a few more mods that should get it close to 7.40
Nice vehicle either way.Check out my profile favorites,i have a show quality real teal 93 cobra. I fucking beat on it too!I have track,and street vids.High quality video too.Unlike the assholes who post camera phone garbage.enjoy.
Shit. Worste driver ever. I kept my brothers 600 hp Cobra in a straight line on cold pavement. Driver capability is so important. That was sooo funny.
dude....if the gto driver could drive...that gto would keep up with it...its funny how ford has to put a supercharger in that thing to make it fast..my truck would run that lighting man...
ok im more familyer with the quarter miles..but last time i was at kill care with my 1972 chevy cheyenne 350 .30over, 750CFI demon carb.....550 lifter i ran 14.3's..and im NOT SUPERCHARGED...take ur new f-150's and dodge rams home.

I SAID I CANT BEAT THE LIGHTING BUT I CAN KEEP UP WITH IT UNTILL AROUND 100mph THAN IT WILL PULL ON ME..BUT IM SAYIN THE TRUCK IS ONLY FAST BECUASE OF IT SUPERCHARGER...TAKE IT OUT AND SEE WHAT IT RUNS...
man up! ford engineers did a good job putting it on there too! just mad cause your shit does not have one. I laugh at you....keep making excuses while tasting my exhaust fumes. loser!!!! that's like a little kid saying "my shoes are faster than yours" and the loser saying "try taking them off and race me" fuckin cornball!!!!!!! see how immature that is? grow up and man up!!!!!!!
just to let ya know, it's not a big block. and 25000 would get 800 hp on a ligtning no problem. its not hard. who wants to hear that rice crap anyway. there's nothing like the sound of 8 cylinders and a good cam. lets see your 800 hp rice
i have 03 lightning i just bought. not sure if owner changed transmission fluid. what kind can i use. i can get the fluid from friend for real cheap and get changed,but its not good to mix trans. how many quarts for entire change?
I'm not sure right off the top of my head. Your owner's manual should have the specified amount listed somewhere in fluid capacities. I use Pennzoil Synchromesh in my GTO, but you'll need to check to see if your Lightning can take that.
yea actually, if you don't believe that's fine. im not here trying to impress a bunch of people i don't know. i was just throwing my personal experience in there. call it a neon all you want, but i regularly out perform cars that cost 2-3 times what i paid for my car.
Believe or not my lightning is a little low on the bottom end, I've pulled out alot of races on the top end. That was my best run of the night. i had just gotten a new 2400 PI torque converter put in. I know i can get the lightning down into the 8.20's. And the best time i saw the gto run that night was 8.9
I'm stock. I assume the Lightnings that I've raced were mostly stock as well, but these were all street races. I have the M6 - so it really is a driver's race for me - I pull away in 4th.
Then I must be racing modified Lightnings, cause I destroy stock SRT-4's - not even close. Only one to give me a close race was spraying and I still beat him! You must be talking about the older Lightnings...
that's pretty good. we don't live close to any 1/4 mile tracks but we have an 1/8 mile track here in town. we do have plans to go to a 1/4 mile soon. the lightning owner had calculations done for an estimated 1/4 mile ET. it might run a 12.2 but that's just an estimation. it might be faster or slower.
12.2!!? So I'm guessing you're definitely not stock! I know a few guys with Modified Lightnings at my track - The usually run high to mid-12's, but mods are not that extreme (pulley, tune, exhaust, etc).
the driver blew up the stock motor going 130mph. his new motor has 515hp on it. it also has an exhaust. the next big thing to do is a Kenne Bell supercharger.
1/8.

that's pretty good. we don't live close to any 1/4 mile tracks but we have an 1/8 mile track here in town. we do have plans to go to a 1/4 mile soon. the lightning owner had calculations done for an estimated 1/4 mile ET. it might run a 12.2 but that's just an estimation. it might be faster or slower.
justdrums91 4 years ago
12.2!!? So I'm guessing you're definitely not stock! I know a few guys with Modified Lightnings at my track - The usually run high to mid-12's, but mods are not that extreme (pulley, tune, exhaust, etc).
