    adhd version: i beat a lightning so bad he thought i was boosted


    full:

    so i'm on my way home from work tonight when i roll up on a late model ford truck... as i roll past, i see those funky wheels, side exhaust, and a lightning badge... i slow... he's mhob... i instigate... at first he doesn't bite... that didn't last long. so i drop it in 3rd and blip the gas (lunging) to see if he'll take the bait. keep in mind, I'd never raced one of these supercharged trucks, so i was curious how I'd fare against one... i lunge again, this time for an extra second and back out of it... when i lift, i hear his blower start SCREAMING! so i get back in it and proceed to put about 5-6 cars on him from 70-115ish. he comes up next to me, rolls his window down, and asks how much boost I'm running... i tell him, none... all motor... i didn't have the heart to tell him I'm still on the factory cam lol... so anyway, we slow down to about 60ish and i let him get the jump. as soon as i heart the wwAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH of the blower, i was as deep in the gas as i could possibly be (again in 3rd gear). this time it wasn't but about a 4 car length pull, as he did better when he got the jump. however i still got him... easily...

    he was cool tho. pulled back up next to me and gave me a big grin and a thumbs up. i showed the same courtesy as i take my exit.


    I'm unsure if he was close to stock or not.... i know you can hear the factory blowers, but this thing was LOUD! maybe an upgraded pulley? ported blower? also his exhaust note wasn't as tame as a stock lightning, so I'm gonna say he was slightly modded (assumption). so all in all, i think it was an informative run, and fun at that!

    ford owner, if FOR SOME REASON you come across this... nice runs! and good lookin truck! it was a metallic blue color with the factory chromies on it.

    A properly built, bolt on and pullied lightning would tighten your goat up. Sadly.. your car is slower than the average goat.

    I ran neck and neck with a ported blower pullied lightning from a dig.... but I am like John Force behind the wheel.

    Stop racing from a roll. It's gay.

    That truck is VERY slow from a roll, its a moving brick...... but as I said before... from a dig that truck would eat that sloat of yours alive.

    Wow.....just wow....:jerkit:

    John Force is not scared nor puts up excuses to race at a real track.

    It's gay.
    Yes, your comments really are. Admitting it is half the battle.

    How long did it take you to love the "wwAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" of his blower.


    God as bad of a joke as that was, it sounds extremely preverted.

    You have my terms. It's funny how you're not such a ****** in person. You won't talk all this **** IRL, and if you do, someone hits you and you call the cops.

    Your terms are ridiculous. Mostly due in part because you would lose.

    first off, both of you need to shut the hell up and stop being a d1ck all the god damn time!

    second, thacker, nobody believe's you're goat is as stock as you say it is. also, you outdrove me on your 26 inch slicks... whooptie do!!!!!! my car is right on par for its power. do i need more practice from a dig? absolutely! i have no problem admitting that.

    as far as roll racing goes... if i met up with the dude and organized it, yea sure.. b1tch about it. but i ran into him on the hwy... and you want me to try to convince him to come to a dead stop ON MOTHER F*CKING 285!?!?!?! you're such a f*cking retard.

    Congratulations. That sentence is completely useless.

    Why not say: "If that truck had a rocket engine on it, it would have won."

    I'm unsure if he was close to stock or not.... i know you can hear the factory blowers, but this thing was LOUD! maybe an upgraded pulley? ported blower? also his exhaust note wasn't as tame as a stock lightning, so I'm gonna say he was slightly modded (assumption). so all in all, i think it was an informative run, and fun at that!

    ford owner, if FOR SOME REASON you come across this... nice runs! and good lookin truck! it was a metallic blue color with the factory chromies on it.

    good kill
    ive seen a couple modded lightnings run and they werent kick overs
    nice run and congrats

    good kill collins. by buddy has a lightning and at one point he was running mid 12s but he de-modded it and I'm not sure what he runs now, but since I have started modding the cobra, he is getting back into it now.

    I know of another lightening that would destroy damn near every car on this site on the highway....if he can get traction lol

    yea.. lots of people call them EV-o's.. they think "EVO-LUTION" it's annoying really.. i say e-vo.. However, technically.. they're right x.x
