[QUOTE="albino96, post: 9195867, member: 43266"] So I went to look at one. I was a little disappointed because he forgot to tell me on the phone that it had a salvaged title (but he still wanted 14.5k for it). It also had a nitrous kit hooked up to it (even though he said he never used it). I obviously wasn't going to buy this one, but I hdan't driven one yet so I wanted to drive it. He didn't know if it had a pulley or not, but the boost topped out at what looked like 11-12 lbs on the stock gauge. First thing I noticed before getting in is that I loved the way it looked. I love lightnings as far as looks for sure. When I started driving the first thing I noticed what that it was really smooth. I would be happy with it being that smooth as a DD (although I would probalby put a 3/4 lowering kit on it so I don't know how smooth it would be after). I stepped on teh gas and it was wierd to have some power and not shift. I think I just need to get used to that. I was a little disappointed in the power although I shouldn't have been surprised. I am so used to pressing the pedal (not even all the way) and it throws you back in your seat. The truck didn't really do that. It just felt really heavy is the best way to describe it. So now I have some questions: 1. What would it take to get a lightning into the 11's? Built motor and KB/Whipple get me there? 2. How much do these trucks weigh? I think I just need to realize that whatever I buy won't be as fast as my vette. I can't really afford my vette and can't expect a cheaper car to be just as fast. I think I will still keep looking for a lightning. I didn't see any more white ones in my area for a reasonable price. The search continues!!! [/QUOTE]
