Newbie intro & a few Lightning ??'s

[damannhw]

Hi all. I've read here for a long time, but never posted. My name is David, and I'm from SC. I currently have a 2003 redfire Cobra (that I am gonna sell). I am thinking about a 1st gen Lightning. The reason for selling the Cobra is my new baby son !!, and that leads to my first question.

**Are any 1st gen Lightnings available with a 60/40 split bench seat ? I've only seen buckets.

**Second, what kind of gas mileage do you see ?

**And last already, what kind of power can be made with simply bolting on a supercharger ?

Sorry to bombard with all these ??'s on my first post !! I appreciate any responses ! David

Thanks for the reply Matt. The info is greatly appreciated ! Looks like you have a stout running Truck there.

I,ve gotten 19mpg once or twice out on the highway.

I get 12 to 13 mpg towing my boat, 14 to 16 mpg 70% highway and 17+ mph 100% highway.

Like Matt95L said, the third seat can be had, call your dealer.

It's a great truck, I love mine, still runs like new at 114k miles.

s/c with ignition, exhaust and a good tune should net you over 100 hp.
