The only circle he's in is the Blue Circle of Distrust.

really with all the knowledge available to anyperson that can turn on a computer, why why why why why would u buy a lighting???????????????????????????????
and a eclipse really? i hope u swaped out that 4g63 for atleast a 5.3!!!!!!!!
Let me see first im a broke college kid trying to finish my last year of school, second GM never made a fast truck(SRT's are jokes) and is the only reason i was steered away from a VHO or SS(seriously GM SS badge on a truck like that?), third i could have bought a single cab for about the same as i bought my truck for, it might have been a 5.3 or even worse a 4.8, after full boltons the truck still would not have been as fast as mine is, add a cam and it would almost be there(add it to a 4.8 and um lol), or i could have thrown a 6.0 in it, about 1500(give or take a few since LQ9's range in $ depending on a lot of money, my buddy bought a LQ4/4l80 for 2500) dollars later it would have been as fast as mine is right now. Hmm do you see where im going, i bought my truck in november last year and i owe 1k on it, you know what comes next? Built motor backed up by a whipple. LSx is superior to a modular motor but a GM truck is not superior to a Lightning when it comes speed vs money.
You're higher than bird pussy kid. I've got less than 19k in my Z71 and it'll outrun your L that you most likely paid more for. Oh yeah, I can take it on a surface other than dry pavement.
Speed vs Money? Sure, that applies to stock. But when you actually want to go fast (which I don't consider a 13 second truck fast), the money on an L really adds up.
Also, I assume you mean RST... which was simply an appearance package.
LMAO....
broke college kid talking trash...lol... this is an expensive sport.... I have been where you are... I know how it feels, the diff... is I have never talked trash about something I have before it is done... or talked trash to people that actually have fast rides......respect is earned ... you need to learn this lesson, you will go a lot farther than calling out people that you have no clue what they have.... it takes people that might have helped you one day, and turns them to another person that would rather see you fail....if you want to race, set it up and race... then talk trash... good luck with your projects.... and i will be glad to give you all the races you want, when you get something to race.... :)
It's like werewolves on a full moon....every now and then a couple of Lightning owners get a tick up their pooter and come kicking around here with something to prove.
As stated - 13's aren't considered fast. 13's were fast about 3 or 4 years ago. Today, "fast" is at least mid to low 10's. If you aren't running that, you aren't considered "fast" by the die hards.
Is a 13 second ride fun? Sure. But so are pogo sticks and sit-and-spins. They're kind of like a 13 second ride - good for a laugh but no one really wants to waste time on one.
(mass permission granted to add that last line to sigs)
we're sitting here watching "The Wolfman" on video and you open up with that comment. :laugh:
LOL.....dang this thread blew up fast.... 13s are fast for ricers.... the El Ricky Bobby around here will hand your L its ass NA.
Hi Greg. :wave:
Hi Jon. :wave:
actually cost vs speed vs...
Example: You could buy an '04 4.8L regcab for about $6K, then easily throw on a 112 radix for under $1000 and have it outrun your L, with a 4.8L.
Hey, just saying, you brought it up.
If you think you have a fast nice truck that's great, more power to you, all of us GM owners think the same about ours, but your L will never be faster when comparing similar mods.
Now throw a bunch of money at it, now it's anyone's game.
If you really break it down!!!!!
- its supposed to be a fast truck?
- its supercharged?
- it was expensive new and still pricey to buy a used one?
- its runs 14-15 second 1/4 times?
The Lightning is actually a huge JOKE!!!
Made me think about Jons thread.

Oh i see.
Nitrous is a universal poweradder, it is NOT like cams, boost, or more displacement, i could add "2 stages of fast" into my moms saturn and be faster than you. BTW i paid 10k for my 2000, im sorry you owe twice as much as me.
Oh yeah you NEVER talk trash. Ask La Ricky Bobby im the last person to ever EVER talk trash, im the lasat person to call someone out.
Sounds like a bunch of ricer excuses, and im supposed to be the ricer.
If 13's aern't fast then imagine what yours was STOCK.
Seriously? Me and La ricky bobby have a lot of respect for you, if it wasnt for you, WE would NOT be building his truck.
Thats hilarious, DRWP has a vid of a tuned TBSS killin a radix heads/cam 4.8, that same TBSS would be dead even with me. Are you saying that if you have add an exhaust to a L and 5.3 RCSB the RCSB will be faster, im sorry but, by the time that RCSB becomes as fast a L it would be on its second tranny, and the owner would be pissed because he could of either swapped a 6.0 liter in it or just bought a Lightning. Maybe when Flacos truck beats Owheelies then i'll sell mine, find me a ECSB and drop a LQ9 with some spray in it. Lightning FTW
Im not even gonna say anything.
I was just saying that almost every "Ricer" in the area runs 14-17's and thinks their chit is fast. Some do a ton of mods and get into the 13's hence being fast for a ricer. Cars that I don't consider ricers are Supras, Evo's, STI's, and a few others. People actually make these fast meaning they run 12's and quicker. The EL Ricky Booby in the Austin area runs 12.0's on 6.0 in a full weight truck. He makes short work off all the Ricers in the area...
:popcorn: Second best welcome ever on this site? lol
what was the best?
I wasn't making ricer excuses I was stating like allen said u get a 6k rcsb with a 5.3 and put a cam a cai and a tune and it will murder a stock L. Ur making ur selff look like a dumb a$$ trying to argue with proven facts.
Oh and let me know when u want to run ur ford or ur hoopdy fart can eclipse, besides all I have is a slow 5.3 it should be fair we both have boost.
In case someone missed it the first time:

lol, this is soooo funny.... stop talking trash and bring the races.... You say you dont talk trash..... LMAO.... thats all your doing.... WE ALL WILL RACE YOU... then you can say what a 5.3 or a 6.0 or a 4.8 does against your super truck....
I'll race you on motor and win roflcopter.
Haha, im a ricer. The cars is lowered, rim, carbon fiber hood, turbo, cammed, AWD. Think of it whatever you want but ricer is something that it is not.
lightningrodder.com
Its whatever, you started the fire, i put it out.
Dont make me laugh.
I think me and you are talking about two different members, La Ricky Bobby is a local from here, El Ricky Bobby i guess is from where your from. Search up DSM's, the evo was made around my car and even carries my engine, and STI's, and Supras look up to DSM's.
Im done here guys, i'll post in some other thread now.
Who do you look up to? I'm sure whoever it is enjoys their balls in your mouth.
this got a lil out of hand real fast....altho chevy vs ford will never end...a race is the only way to prove nething.. words are just words and this forum is all in good fun so every1 just chill...i know im new still and dnt have that much respect in the racing world but we all start out somewhere...unless ur rich or win the lottery lol...nah jp...neways im just here 2say that we all get on here 2talk about trucks and racing them against each other bt this forum has gotten a lil out of hand...every1 just kickback and i mean no disrespect 2 ne1...i have alot of respect 4ever1 on here no matter wut... :hshake: oh and and welcome to the site...
You must be the one... rofl.
wuts rofl?
It's an English thing. I wouldn't expect you to understand.
ok? just tell me wut it is? so that way i know....remember im still a:newbie: so havent gotten the lingo down yet...
You'll never understand US acronyms. Ask your nuthugger what it means.
I coined that phrase you cant use it......and ill put my bottles up against that blower anyday, when i pop my hood its to change the jets and check my fuel cell not to add mountains of ice so i can go run 14s, i dont even have 10k in my entire truck and i promise you that, and my little 5.3 will drag that pile down the 1320, give ya 660 and the hit :naughty:
no me importa..nunca vas a intender....neways i will never expect u 2 understand...ps im not talking mess either so dont take it as disrespectful...:duh:
its all good... i cant believe i didnt know whut that meant i feel so stupid...:whack:
