500 HP Lightning vs stock M3

500 HP and thats it. I was expecting a lil more out of the lightning.
tru but also a 12.8 with 500 HP just don't seem right to me.
Do you know what the conditions were,what modifications he had (ie tires, suspension,etc), or weight when he ran 12.8? It's easy to say "it should run faster than that" when you don't know the full story.
Cool vid nonetheless. My wife would trade her mustang for a BMW in a minute if I'd "let" her lol.
well be realistic here c'mon 500 HP should put u quicker than 12.8. They have stock lightnings runnin what mid to high on a good day close to low 13's on a bady day 14's with 360 HP at the wheels stock. With 140 more HP should put u quicker than 12.8 in my opinion.
ok so what round 450 to 460 to the wheels still should be quicker.
THAT TRUCK SOUNDED SO WEAK.
You can't even here the blower and it bein a kenny bell should scream a lil.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that both the Lightning and Cobra were underrated from the factory. I thought they both put out over 410 HP at the crank.
500 HP is a 90 HP jump in the Lightning which is good for around 8/10's of second or so in a 4,700 lb vehicle (depending on the driver). So assuming this Lightning ran a 13.6 stock, a 12.8 is right where he should be with his mods.

The truck is definitely modded. I can you tell from personal experience that had the Lightning been stock, the M3 would have pulled hard on it from both a stop and a roll. Been there, done that more than a couple times.
M3's with good drivers are running high 12's @ 107-108 bone stock. SMG 6-speed cars will run a tad slower E.T's, due to their lack of launching ability (they can only launch at 1,800 rpm), but will trap around the same as the standard stick 6-speed cars.
Anyway, wasn't trying to start a war. Just posting a video of an SVT vehicle on a SVT forum.

im just a lil skepticle but its all good. An M3 would be nice. They came out with a bad ass SC setup for it awhile back that made it crazy fast.
The new M3's (2001 and up) are just getting some superchargers available. None on the streets just yet. They'll be good for the 450-500 rwhp at a price so high I get nauseous thinking about it.:whine: :-D

I DYNOED 409 AT THE REAR WHEELS ON STOCK F1S MY BEST ET IS 12.5 @109
My L, w/ a 4lb lower, T/B and exhaust put down 400 to the wheels.
W/ stock F1's and 7k on them I ran a 12.9 at 107.8
And it sounded a hell of alot more healthy than this L.
I know M3's are fast, but this L does not have 440/450 to the wheels.
That L sounds like it has plain Silver Bullits on it.
