Those lightning's are painfully fast, Assuming no mods you may have just about kept up with him. But no one buys a sports truck and doesn't add on to it. My friend had one which I believe was a second gen, he dyno'd it before he really did anything to it and showed 370 rwhp, After that he spent about $2K upgrading it, Then blam he totaled it. They also have half the weight on you, no 4x4, a single cab and all around smaller truck. With that said I wish my friend still had his, I would love to have raced it with my hemi also.

Even bone stock that lighting would leave you sitting there...they're mid 13s 102ish traps bone stock. Simple pulley swap and tune 420+rwhp easy

actually im not sure you might not have even kept up with him with all those mods. if just a stock lightning shows 370 rwhp and a stock hemi has about 280 rwhp, im not sure all those mods would amount to 90 rwhp. plus those lightnings are light, probably lighter than even reg cab rams since fords are smaller. a SRT 10 would have wouped him but im not sure about a hemi.

I saw a sticker the other day on some lady's car that said:

"Unless your my husband, stop riding my ***"

I drove behind her for about 3 street lights just so I could read it over and over. Could not stop laughing.

I could always get other trucks, mustangs, civics, etc. to race me in my '07, but when I got the vette, nobody ever wanted to race anymore.....

Anyways, one of the Vette guys used to have a sticker across his windshield that said "Slower traffic keep right", but it was written backwards so that you could read it properly in your rear view mirror. You should get one of those.
