Lightning all the way, all I had done to my 99 was BPU and it ran a 12.5's@108 all day long on street tires :coolman:

:rockon: love my L, drive it everyday and with stock setup(all factory stuff, tonneau and bedrug) ran a 13.6 @101, stock gt is 14.1. If looking for faster stock vehicle L if you want to mod it and get it even faster long term Mustang will get there quicker with less money. I just depends on what you want gtstang. Either way great choice both are Fords.
Good luck:beer:

yah thaniks the lightning is pretty sweet. i always wanted one since the 1999 came out. yah i am not going to keep it stock i want to put some mods on it. i want to get the truck to 550 hp or a mustang with that much horse power. and insurance is a b!tch on my mustang will it be cheaper on the lightning or around the same. i am a first time driver and is under my name. i just got my mustang two months ago. i am not complaining about it i love it but i just want to know which one is better so i might change my mind and get a lightning. so far every one says lightning.

Lightning all the way. I was stupid and sold my 93 L to get a 2000 Mustang GT and have been kicking myself in the nuts so to speak ever since. :bash: I would take the L anyday over a stang.

I would have sold a 93L for 2000GT in a heartbeat!

A GT is quicker than an L in the top end. The L owns the GT in the 1/4, but then it's over

Here is some pics of my buddies old '02 Lightning. Now he is into 4x4 trucks.

This Lightning made 510 RWHP. Cant remember the torque numbers.

Here is a picture of his old fox that was equipped with a 347, Vortech S-trim and 100 shot of nitrous. Ran 11.0's off the bottle.
