I took an auto class in high school. My teacher had a 02 Lightning with upgraded coils and pulleys running 14 lbs. The most bad ass thing I remember from high school was taking a field trip in it and going sideways up the on ramp. Coolest teacher ever.
i belive this was before polital corectnes,democrats becomes commies and other shit like this ;/ ...no wonder people start to think that best times was in 60-80"s ....funny thing is ...we are majority...we can do this :D
@@kris198720 how would he have an 02’ lightning in the 60’s-80’s, dumb comment from an even dumber person go back to school and quit listening to what mommy and daddy tell you or what you hear on the news that made no sense
James Wriston I know, it doesn't make them look good. The same way the clear third brake light on the new Raptor looks like shit compared to the LED red light from the Platinum trims. Swap it for the good looking light and keep the stocker in the tool box for when you sell it. It was a fad from the time based on a Japanese car.
i wanna get my 04' f150 lariat to something like this. It's got a roush supercharger on it right now, custom exhaust, and a tune. Probably do a transmission swap and build the engine. Aim for 12s, them 11 and my final goal is 10s. Maybe one day.
You're missing the point. The truck does NOT lack traction. It's not spinning out of the hole, it's not all over at the top of the track. Down force does create grip, but he doesn't lack grip. It would be completely unnecessary. The truck clearly goes straight as an arrow, and does not spin out of the hole, or at the top end. Needs more rpm at the launch, he has the traction for it. Hence leaving soft. Did YOU not read my comment?
Thats a very nice truck! Now if only one could have that with AWD for offroading and then 4 offroad tires in the back, juicy. Sorry if it IS an AWD and he switched it off for the race. What would be the MTBI/MTBF of such an engine, provided one doesn't obuse it too much besides races and offroading? 1k/5k/10k miles?
Man, 9.80's in a truck! And to think that was a footbraked launch too! I bet this thing would be a good 0.5 seconds faster in the 1/4 if the truck had a transbrake and 2-step on it.
A wing would only slow him down. He has complete grip after his launch. I hope you're joking with the idea about the added idea from the wing. First off, wings are made to be light as possible, and if he wanted weight he would make some type of ballast for the rear. Although that would go against your idea of dropping weight.
That is a true statement, but when did I ever say it wasn't? I like Chevy and all their products. I am saying that Ford has their specialties and dodge had theirs. I personally am a Dodge man, therefore I own two dodge trucks and love them.
It is still for sale. Stock tail lights and I'm the owner. If someone wants to line up let me know. I have not yet turned it up. Sit like I do and we will do something.
That thing was straight as an arrow all throughout the run. Drag induced down force would needlessly slow it down at the top end. It's leaving a little out at the launch. You can hear and see that it leaves soft. That trap speed is good for about a 9.55, compared to his 9.81. It's lost in the launch.
I don't believe he said that. He said he spun on a 10.3 second pass. I think it is safe to assume that he lost traction at the launch not at "100". He never mentions 100mph. He mentions 142mph, but that was at the end of the run. And if spinning was a regular occurrence he wouldn't have mentioned that particular run. But who knows i'm an idiot...
no the blower is part of the supercharger the blower sits on top of the super charger all the blower is is a cover with butterfly doors on it that goes over the carbs thus the resaon people will say in racing gone in a blink of an eye duh
gen 1 lightning looks way better. and btw that heap of scrap metal in my driveway would rape that srt 10 in mud drags or hill climbing or anything off road. and my truck is still on the road and its a 96 and your dads srt 10 is in a junk yard I assume? how do you total a truck in a parking lot?
did you not read my comment ??? I said proper weight distribution to lol and his truck lacks proper Aerodynamics .... btw Downforce creates grip which would help his top end and the added weight from spoiler would help launch :)

nice job on the lightning - some shop did real fine work.
That's a beast. Need to bring it up to the Northeast to see if runs low 9s. We have that nice 62* degree weather in the spring and fall
-04troublez
Awesome run! Straight as an arrow and no drama.
I love the turbos. Ford should have made this truck with a turbo from the factory instead of a super charger. The sound of turbos is just sexy af
Sick lightning bro!
gotta love fast fullsize trucks
Put the normal tasteful red taillights in and it's done.
riothero313 those are the factory tail lights.

I actually like them more then the blah red ones.
I love those, in that they are a product of their time. Stereotypical 00s
love it!! thanks for filming this beast
That truck was badass and awsome hp also liked the dodge video
Very nice truck....foot brake and column shift...sweet!
Jesus christ that truck is so fast! So badass.
What a sweet truck!
Nice job man!
More HPT Shootout vids to come very shortly! :)
nice (and yes im replying 8 years later)
That a bad ass truck !
Nice truck.
very nice truck
Badass Lightning!
Nice truck
this truck looks bad ass
Love that freakin' SOUND!!!!!
What a BEAST !!!
Drivetrain is specifically the transmission and axles. Powertrain is the whole system from the engine to the wheels.
1320video never fails.
That's a quick slab o'steel.
Keep on Truckin...
Just awesome
My dream truck
I remember this truck for sale a while back, I'm an import guy but i'd love me a lighting!
you are something special
And nothing is better than the 92 GMC sonoma syclone which accelerates faster than a stock lightning.
What sizes of rims and tire are on it?
Hell Yeah!!!!! never judge a book by its cover ;)
Still has the ford 4r100 built by Brian's truck shop in Arkansas. Has a PI stall 3600. Still drive it on the street.
Is this your truck?
Sick!
Straight as a freggin arrow!
uhhhh they're stock tail lights from Ford
The engine is part of the drivetrain.
Where can I get a intake manifold like that?
For the tow truck industry!
so whats left that is needed to make a 9 second car?
was that a diesel at the end?
damn thats sweet
On pump gas?
Lightning the best !!!
Straight as a damn arrow.
We want to see this thing run the Red Dragon and Red Sled...
Im an import guy but man this is just aweso

I wish I could find a Lightning to buy in my area, that isn't all beat to fuck. They are cool trucks.
Clear lens tail lights :P

I miss my lightning....
It’s been 5 years what happened to it and what do you drive now?
I love dat car
Can the person with truck or if someone else knows where to get this turbo kit, tell me where I can find it or a kit someone knows is good
Didn't get to go this year
and that is a PICK UP TRUCK my friends
Dayum!
@mathew13anderson its not a Sterling logo its a Steeda logo..lol!
I always wondered what the point of the lightning was , u put 1300hp in it and do 9 second quarter miles lol i love it
Liked before watch

You have video off fastes street legal truck at hpt shootout...
Your hearing the guys who are next up in the burnout box, behind the camera guy.
It is still for sale. Stock tail lights and I'm the owner. If someone wants to line up let me know. I have not yet turned it up. Sit like I do and we will do something.
Shoulda went with the Shelby Cobra 500 engine.
He built the bottom end. After the build, there was nothing to gain by going with the SC500.
@@lifted_above The supercharger is much better than the Lightnings.
That may be, in stock form.
The worlds fastest diesel powered truck in the quarter is powered by a Duramax .
That thing was straight as an arrow all throughout the run. Drag induced down force would needlessly slow it down at the top end. It's leaving a little out at the launch. You can hear and see that it leaves soft. That trap speed is good for about a 9.55, compared to his 9.81. It's lost in the launch.
Why does it sound like a diesel when it is in a truck?
Damn fuck that's an automatic too hell yeah

1:12 That sounds like my washmachine..
Mother of God!
Anyone else think this was "SSTHIS" when they saw the thumbnail?
Damn.
Whoa
no the blower is part of the supercharger the blower sits on top of the super charger all the blower is is a cover with butterfly doors on it that goes over the carbs thus the resaon people will say in racing gone in a blink of an eye duh
I'd pick this over a ram CummONs anyday...
damn u know ur trucks bad when tires are squealing 3/4 the way!!!
Wow
Motor driveshaft ujoints transmission and rear axel =power train /drive train!
It is not a honda, therefore no 2-step needed. Just a bigger stall.
Ya if the LIGHTNING dropped some weight and had rear downforce and proper weight distribution it would be 8sec truck
gen 1 lightning looks way better. and btw that heap of scrap metal in my driveway would rape that srt 10 in mud drags or hill climbing or anything off road. and my truck is still on the road and its a 96 and your dads srt 10 is in a junk yard I assume? how do you total a truck in a parking lot?
i think if i had a lightning i would keep the supercharger
did you not read my comment ??? I said proper weight distribution to lol and his truck lacks proper Aerodynamics .... btw Downforce creates grip which would help his top end and the added weight from spoiler would help launch :)
now stuff that motor in a focus!
can you "say" ford power?
