WTF...... That's dope.

Thanks for the compliment. I had BMW lowering springs added as an option at the port of entry. It shows up as an option on the window sticker.

For Mods _ I have not really done anything material.
- Wheel spacers
-PPF
-Tint
- Ceramic brake pads
- Uniden R8

It is plenty fast for me. I use it as a Daily Driver alternating with my BMW Z4 M40i. Both have their advantages.

That's awesome.
I love the BMW M3 and M4 cars.

Damn I love this truck, should be doing the basic 400/500 mods this winter. I even find myself driving it way more than the Cobra, probably even going to swap the toll tag over to it haha. Theres just something nice about a simple Eaton setup.

As much as I want a Marauder I think a Lightning is what I will end up getting.

Wow, stunning scenery. What did you shoot this on?

Thank you! Nothing special. Samsung Galaxy S22.

Beautiful Lightning! I totally get why you are liking to drive it more. And yes, there IS something special about a simple Eaton setup. I remember when I had my 2003 Cobra, for me, the best setup was the unported Eaton with a 2.90 upper, and catback, etc. It was, again for me, just a fun setup. Porting the blower and dropping down to a 2.80 pushed the horsepower from 457 to 505 and torque from 470 to 494. But it just wasn’t as much fun to me.

At this stage of your life, do you more enjoy the Lightning’s automatic compared to your Cobra’s manual? When you get to the point of swapping your toll tag to the Lightning, you’re serious. LOL.

Thanks Bob! If I'm going out for a cruise I still prefer the cobra and t56, but if I'm taking one of the "fun" vehicles to work on a nice weather day it's almost always the Lightning. It's also kept in the house garage so easier access, Cobra stays out in my shop.

Do these gen lightnings have the ability to tow? Obviously they have the power but I'm wondering if the their weight, or lack there of, is holding them back.

That’s amazing! I love that! Even did the center console out of the Harley Davidson truck right? Can’t wait to get one of those!

IIRC, that was one of the qualities of the Lightnings. They were still trucks. Decent towing numbers. Of course, I wouldn't tow an RV with it, but to each his own.

They are rated around 5k, I've only ever towed jet skis and 16-20' jet boats with mine though. Their main problem is short wheel base and the fact they just weigh a few hundred more pounds than a GT500.

Previous owner did that, I agree it's a great mod for these trucks.

Maybe Im an aesthetic purist but I think the oem SVT rims always look best, I prefer the chrome over the brushed.

I concur with this. Still searching for a clean set of OEM Chromes.
