I use to bracket race Mustangs. Never owned a Lightning. Can;t write much heading to work.
Horsepower numbers don't do much for me. I was beating guys who had Cobras with my GT. There is a lot more factors to drag racing like chassis and the driver. If I remember correctly didn't the Lightning have 255 tires, a 4 speed auto, and 3.55 rear end? Someone correct me if I am wrong but those numbers i don't recall. Guess I could look them up. Just goes to show how good Ford is doing. It is crazy they are making a V6 with 365hp and 420 ft/lbs. You an also equip it from the factory with a bunch of rearends, even down to 4.10's. Mine has 3.73's.
I think it would be cool to race a stock lightning to an Ecoboost.
Some entertainment to kill time...B
