[QUOTE="stvdman, post: 16374368, member: 11572"] Owned an original 1993 Lightning that I purchased brand new in Sept. 1993. It was advertised as a "Mustang GT with a bed". I LOVED that truck. It was built to be more than just a straight line runner, it was supposed to corner and handle too! (remember this was back in 1993 and it was competing against a Mustang GT of the day). with 4:10's it FELT quick (solid 15 sec truck). Revised suspension/wheels/tires/4x4 Pitman arm it again FELT like it handled well. Overall it was a VERY fun truck that still did truck things (could tow and haul) and totally out performed the Chevy 454 SS of the same era in almost every metric. Now, would I purchase a new F-150 regular cab that could MATCH a Mustang GT of today...hmmm, I sure would give it a look. My recipe... N/A Coyote 5.0 with 500+ HP (forged internals for STRENGTH ;) ), gears (4:10's?), revised suspension front and rear, maintain 75% tow/haul rating and let it rip! IMHO [/QUOTE]
