:driving: The G8 has a lot better top end compared to the Lightning. Good races tho! :)

On the last run....it seems the lighting pulled ahead....on the track i think they would have a pull us stock to stock in the quarter...I duno...I didnt get to race one...but one was ahead of me in line at the track...he was running 13.7s ..about .1 faster than my best that night. I would think ...we would have better top end..I guess if I come up to one on the freeway....If im going 70+ ..and in 3rd manually...it looks like they will get a jump of a length or two but I should get him over 100 ?

Nah, the G8 let off. Looks like the G8 pulled it pretty well at all speeds, but at 90+ the Lightning really hit a brick wall. Still pretty impressive for a 10-yo truck though :)

How in the hell do you film and race at the same time? That is pretty impressive and disturbing at the same time.:slap:

BTW. Nice kill...

lol, it was just a little camera. not a full video camera. i just held it in one hand. i didn't really look at the camera when shooting. i just kinda aimed it where i thought the truck was. :judge:

Sure a lot faster than a Crown Vic - make sure you don't try to race one of those. :)

Nice... You guys need to post some mods in your sigs. If you were stock, I'd say this is pretty impressive. Though heavy, lightnings are pretty mean.
