You are correct. This is not worth arguing over. Little VW friend I wasnt there so I dont know, so good for you if it is true and good kill or almost kill, if not you are only hurting yourself. You must remember that this is not some ricer sight and im sure most of the guys on here dont buy into this claim like I didnt. Most of these guys have vast expierence with what cars will run and what they will do and what they wont do. Maybe you do have a factory freak I dont know but it would be one hell of a freak. So keep modding and good luck.

hey 05Rousch i hate to tell you but the Cobra=SVT FlagShip is coming out as well as that SportTrac and based on the sell of those depends on what SVT makes from there on out it's likely the Lightning will show back up in '07....my friends dad already has a Sport Trac on order from Ford...same dealer he bought his L and 02 Cobra so i see the L coming back.

The Adrenaline is based on the Explorer platform. It will be my next SVT for sure. :thumbsup:

Considering the price of a base F-150 5.4L extended Cab vs. the old one, I'd say the new Lightning would have costed upwards of $40K for the base F-150 XLT + 10K worth of upgrades to engine and other components to even come close to the performance of the Gen II's.

uhh i let him downshift and then hit it yeah i posted the slips in teh GT vs STI forum

This kid is so full of poo. What slip? Wasn't this race from a roll on the streets? And for the other guy who said SVT started in 96, Why would the 03 Cobras be the 10th aniversery addition for svt. Svo did the four banger turbo with two spark plugs per cylinder, and the offset hood scoop inlet. The only good VW is a bus

try keeping up.

The slips are in the THREAD mentions (sti one ;-) )

And there's been another race with about 5 pages of posts talking about it.

Nice runs! My buddy Tommy called me yesterday and told me he got his first kill against a Lightning in his 1992 Corvette. Hmmm, may have to post that in here.

With what it makes no sense. He says the race is on the street, then all of a sudden there is a timeslip to the race? Dont understand there is no link posted when he said that he posted the slip on the gti forum.
