95 ford lightning? I may be getting one this weekend. I ahve not seen It but I am going to look at it and test drive it this weekend. it has a 351 what can yall tell me about this truck?

 

if it the one i am thinking of it fast as hell.

 

its a 95 so not supercharged but should still be pretty quick it also has 4:11 posi.

 

I rode in one years ago and damn near pissed myself with my cousin driving. I would buy it if it were in good shape.

 

they are nice trucks with 240 hp i think you'll like it

 

TRUCK?!

You redneck.

 

I believe that it is a 4.10 rear gear, and with only 240 horsepower, it was rated as running a 15.7 quarter mile...hardly fast as hell by any stretch. Amanda's 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 ran almost a second faster with less gear, and only minor mods like headers and a computer.

 

haha that what i was thinking....but if you need it to haul stuff around, go for it.

 

Well you know what? I am very much so from the country, there is only me and like 4 other people into the import cars where I live. Thats becasue you can pretty much take the song hillbilly deluxe or hicktown and thats a spitting image of where I live. But Patrick being they have the 351 do they have pretty good potential. if I get it it will be my new toy. So any money going into the civic will be put into that. As some of you know I was looking into a muscle car project but Ihave swayed away from that, this would also get decent gas mileage so when my knee acts up I will be able to drive this instead.

Funny thing Is out of all the young kids in town I am considered the most city like type kid. And every one from the city still calls me a redneck. LOL

 

Whenever I moved to Pennsylvania from New York... I got called "city boy" all the time. This was in like 5th grade, and I would just sit there and be like "Dude, I moved from 3 hours away, shutup you damn redneck".


Anywho... for the sake of staying on topic... The only oversized vehicle I would ever drive would be a big OLD Suburban. Those things are so badass, you can park them where ever the heck you want. I would park mine in the front yard, and when my mom asks why I parked it out there I'd say "I didn't, that's where HE wanted to park"
