First experience in an L

[FlatZ28]

Well well, finally got to experience a Lightning. My friend owns a silver 2001 with pullies, a chip, exhaust, and nitto 555's up front with nitto 555r drag radials in the rear. Went for a ride and boy it definitely delivered. I thought the supercharger whine would be annoyance, but wow, it screamed! ... If I had the cash and the need for a pickup ... sign me up.

I was sitting in a Sport Trac to check it out, then I went and sat in a Lightning. I didn't even get to drive it and I wanted it. Instantly forgot about the Sport Trac.

I don't think a lot of people really "need" Lightnings as trucks. They just rule.

L's with pulley's absolutely shriek at WOT! They're pretty damn quick too.:thumbsup:

I've driven a bone stock one. I love the sound and it is a badass for sure, but I couldnt bring myself to trade the 96 for it. I will have a Lightning someday...................Hopefully really soon too, cus they are bad!

I have only been inside one once. I have yet to see one here in the UK.

i was just wondering, with all that high performance crazyness and bad gas mileage, what's the price of petrol per litre over there any way? just curious.-chris

Around $6 a Gallon as of right now its $2.25 or a little more. a liter as they use metric. and this is US currency.

I used to always hate Fords, didn't matter what, whether it be a taurus wagon or cobra mustang. Then about a year ago my buddy got the use of a 02 L for the weekend. I rode with him one day, and my god my whole outlook on Ford changed. That truck was simply amazing; finally bought one three months ago. I never drive the WRX anymore, not even during nice days, strictly winter. I love these trucks because I can pull my boat and still whoop some ass even when towing.
