Ive driven a lightning as well. IMO they are comparable to a SC XR. I think the blown X is faster by a lot to 60 and probably has a slightly faster quarter. They also handle like dog crap and have a mile of play in the steering.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ford resurrected the Lightning in 1999. With its new F-Series body the Lightning now came equipped with a 5.4L Triton V8 and an Eaton supercharger helping pump out an astounding 120 more horsepower than the previous generation. The Lightning's 360 horsepower and 440 ft-lbs. of torque made it the fastest production truck in the world doing 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds, a title still held today. The twin short-and-long-arm suspension was lowered 1/2-inch up front and the solid axle, five leaf-spring rear suspension lowered 2-inches over the standard truck's three-leaf units. Little changes were made for 2000.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The 2001 SVT F-150 Lighting is another leap over the 1999-2000 model. Today's truck can do 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds and finish the quarter-mile at 100 mph in 13.9 seconds. And we can assure you, those 13.9 seconds go by very fast indeed.
That pig is over 1,000 lbs heavier too...
