[QUOTE="albino96, post: 9175004, member: 43266"] So I'm not sure that this happens very often, but i currently have the H/C Z in my sig with 35k miles and I'm considering selling it and picking up a lightning. I went to the track in the vette recently and broke the tranny, put in a built tranny and rear and went back the next month and gernaded the rear. Now I have a new built rear in there and it decided to blow a head gasket (first real problem besides me going to the track). Anyway, the car has put me in some debt and I'm looking for something a little cheaper after I fix it. I know a lightning isn't necessarily going to be more reliable, but I do expect it to be cheaper to fix. I think eventually I would go built motor and whipple. I would be looking around $12-15k for one I think which means I would have money to buy a beater. Anyway, what do you guys think about going vette-lightning? Will I miss the power? My brother tells me not to do the lightning because I want a truck and a fast car and he says it doesn't do either one well (he used to have an 03 cobra and now has a silverado). I would miss the manual trans for sure, but I can probably get over that. I drive 20 miles to work each way and I know the lightning will get way worse gas mileage too. The vette does 23-25 highway and 10-12 city alltogether averaging 16-18 on a normal tank for me. I know it's all personal preference and it is pointless to make this thread, but I wanted to hear from people with experience if I will really be happy with the lightning. I will seldom go to the track unless I have a second car (what I shoulda done with the vette). I absolutely love my vette and it's really comfortable riding to work and it's stupid fast, but it is loud inside. Are the lightnings quiet/nice DD's? I would probalby just do a catback for now (as far as exhaust). Well this is all pretty pointless, so here's the pics, lol. I'm just torn. Here's my vette: [ATTACH=full]1156182[/ATTACH] And here's a pic I pulled from the white lightning pics thread. I like the white lightnings and I would probably do this: [ATTACH=full]1156183[/ATTACH] Or I have considered an ~05 f150 that I would do this to (although I couldn't afford the 4x4 :bored: ) [ATTACH=full]1156184[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
