Hi Greg.

Hi Jon.

[farmtruc]

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!!!

FWIW the reasons we are hassling this L owner goes beyond mosts understanding that isn't in ze circle. She needs to lose the zero and get with a hero.

Oh i see.

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.

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.

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....

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.

A lighting has a super charger and .1 more displacement and a rcsb 5.3 with a cam, tune and a cia will murder a lighting anyday of the week. im not talking crap on ur truck im just saying ur wrong about speed vs money

Sounds like a bunch of ricer excuses, and im supposed to be the ricer.

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)

If 13's aern't fast then imagine what yours was STOCK.

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.

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

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
