OK price it at Edmunds. MSRP fora 01 lightning is 33k. Was that Lighting
brand new? Come on, I dout it was new, if so,it'ste cheapest new Lightning
ever for someone who desn't have the A-Plan By the end of winter I'll be
eating those things N/A with slightly over 20k invested, including the
truck. The 360 is probably the most-underestimated engine ever. it will
take a lot more than people think. Geez, there are what, 4-5 NA R/ts that
have run high/mid 13s N/A! Most with 2k or LESS in mods! That IMHO is mre
impressive than a supercharged/intercooled truck with 295/55/18 meats
running low 14s/high 13s! LOL. It's nice to see so many people brain-washed
about the Lightning :/ Oh, I also priced a 00 model at the SVT dealership
in Lexington, lowest they would go is 31k (32500 sticker). Priced new to
new, a fully loaded RC R/T will be generally 10k cheaper than a Lightning.
That's no bull. Hell, we won't even talk about the 4.7 that can be had in a
dak for what, 15k and run mid 14s bone stock?
