A pre 97 Lightning...Yes
After 97, I dont think so. He would have to be running mid 13's, and with that set-up, I doubt he is.

If thats the case, I need to line up with a L soon. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The ones I have played with have handed me my ***. I don't know if they were modded or not though. Maybe I should try another one with my new posi and 4.10. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

look here ****-ado,
i figured some jackass such as yourself would step up and call some bs on me. that's fine, you have your opinion, but at least i have the ***** to let people know what i have/had instead of making up truck fantasy stories such as yourself.
i wont continue to lower myself to your level by starting an argument over this. you can ask anyone who saw my old truck run and they can tell you that even with the low amount of mods i did have, the truck was a monster from day 1. my truck was at least running in the mid 13 area.
how do i know this? my friends z28 ran a 13.7 and ask him who was going to beat his *** before my wheel hop started and i stopped going forward.
keep talking little man and i may have to throw some money into my engine and whip you in my 4,000+ lb Z71. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

dude, the simple fact that you are so defensive about it tells me that you definatly are bsing...and not to mention that you didn't have enough mods to make up the 100+ hp difference between your truck and a lightning...so keep on dreaming dude....my old white truck with a 5.3 3.73s 150 shot would beat a lightning, but not heavily
