^^^Seen that video.... it was made for the owner of Ford....it doesn't sound to good and it's actually not as fast as you think it would be....and I think if I recall they already blew the motor....it's to much to handle.

I never asked if anyone saw it, I know its been seen :laugh: this is the internetz and what cheap video camera has good sound quality? Im skeptical on hearing it in person but it could certainly sound nicer I must agree...... and......Its for the owner of PSE Superchargers, not the Owner of Ford....(Why would any CEO want a lightning when they could have a twin turbo f450 dually or ford gt?....):crinklehair: If he popped it, he hasn't documented it on streetfire (that Ive seen) but I will continue searching. :wink:

Yes, I have walked a modded lightning so have a couple other boosted XRs I know.

Still a nice truck though and if he wants to build the engine and go Whipple charged he can make some nice power.

Like anything, the faster vehicle is the one with the bigger wallet as well.

Now handling... yeah.

Glad to hear you like your new toy.

Get a 40-90 accel vid up there! lololol.

Not sure what you mean here, are you saying that Lightning's are more expensive to buy/own? They can actually be purchased quite cheap, a quick auto trader search shows me plenty of 01-04's with under 40k miles for less than $20k. Sure they're a little older than than the XR's but you're also getting a 380HP supercharged V8 with the 01+ model.

I'm not saying anything against the XR's, as we have a much better suspension package, but when you look at spending under $18k for a truck as quick as a lightning with low miles, that's a pretty good deal if you ask me :top:

I do, however, think that the styling is starting to become outdated..

I like the X, but I also like me some Lightnings. I test drove one many moons ago and loved it. They have a huge aftermarket that runs as deep as your pockets want to go. It would have been cool if Ford released an updated Lightning instead of the Raptor, but oh well on that.

As a company, I don't mind Ford at all. They kept their head above water and didn't take government handouts. Can't say the same for some of those other companies....
