Pulled on an oldschool lightning

You know the typical, pulled up to a light each person kept creepin. Well, I thought for sure he'd take me, but I just got my S-03's today and I pulled on him, at 60mph I had over a car length on him. Not the greatest story ever, but you know, it's something.

Thats funny.. 1 of the cars you mentioned runs low 13's, the other, anywhere from 11.5-9.8. Really funny! I too HAD a friend with an Old School lightning, it ran low 14's, blown and all....

Unless your buddy has thousands upon thousands in that car, he aint running with hennessey vipers. LoL

How can you compare a NEW Lightning with 7k in mods to a fucking stocker?? You made yourself sound like an ass?? You question a KILL because your buddy has a NEW ONE with 7k in mods.. LoL

It was a previous generation one, and I know I don't get extra hp from my tires, but I do get a better launch since i wasn't hopping around like a wounded jackal.

You are an idiot and playing the "my buddy's car is fast" card is fuggin weak.

And I'll race your buddy and beat his ass. He's not the only one with mods in the world.

Its so easy to talk shit behind the safety of a computer screen...Especialy those in other states ...But the steer I mean queer from Texas, you just might get what you asked for, My Buddy is from Alice Texas. He will be going on leave soon and he is very interested in meeting you and what ever car you would like to race. As long as I can post your miserable loss on here to show all of the CL lovers how bad you lost...and of couse I hope you can put your money where your mouth is. But probably not another shit talker who hides behind a computer screen, Too Bad So Sad.

Uh oh, you went there with Pull_T. You and your friend obviously don't who and what you are up against.

Congrats on the Kill.

Those first gen lightnings were great in their day, but I think new they were like 15.5 in the 1320. They had a mildly massaged 351 V8. Modded they could be quick. I'd still like to get one, there just aren't that many nice ones still around.

I haven't heard that one, but since the new GTO is coming out, I would be stoked if they did a Buick version. Afterall, the Buick motto is "Going Fast With Class". And it seems GM is putting some money out to advertise the current GS.

I love my GS, I just wish it was RWD!! Too much torque for the front wheels. I'm stock, and probably will stay that way for a while. My fav things about it are the price and the size. I got a ridiculous steal, I mean deal. Brand new in 2000 for $20.8K. I just couldn't pass it up. I'm 6'2" and I don't put the front seat all the way back.

Later,
Dave
