    your description is kinda misleading homey... nothin against the Lighning but tell me what part exactly he "eats" the GT?

    do you just mean he was able to keep up w/ it? please explain

    Anything will beat anything with enough money put into it. Not down talking the lightning, I love em, but you could take a Honda Civic and beat a McLaren F1 if ya had the money/time/lack of taste = P

    ok then

    now lets see how that lightning can do 205 mph,

    and most important handle turns and brake the way the porsche can!

    ohh, here is what jermey at top gear thinks of each

    porsche carrera gt

    Ford Lightning just skip to 6.40 if you dont wanna see all.

    not to be an ass, cause the lightning is fast. But these people who say they

    can out accelerate a supercar. Really soo what, it cant handle worth a damn.

    Sorry but as i always say, drag racing is for those that cant use the wheel.

    HAHAHA

    My only experience before was with autocross/road racing, and I started hanging with a lot of straight line jerks, they'd tell me "if you can turn the wheel you arent going fast enough"

    thats when I knew it was time to leave LIRL

    What a gay comment... Just cause somebody PREFERS drag racing, doesn't mean they can't drive for shit. There are different types of everything, if all racers were just road racers it'd be pretty fucking boring.

    At the end of the day though, that guy still has one of the worlds best supercars, and the other guy has a ford.

    i love the lightning, dont get me wrong but....a high 13 second vehicle WILL NOT keep up with a low 11 second vehicle. the owner of the porsche obviously has no idea how to drive. end of story.
