Red Lightning ForSale

[Beaudee]

There's a red L. for sale on Beltline road car lot just east of Webchapel.Been there for 2 weeks.Its on the N.W. side of beltline road!

[Beaudee]

Oh Yaahh that would be Addison or Carrolton.Not sure what year but looks good on drive by!

[Beaudee]

The dealer is Garys Used Cars.Looks like an 03.

[03LightningRocks]

What's up Beau? Looks like your having quite the conversation here. I guess there isn't much interest in Red Lightnings in this area. The few we have seen where slow. Heck...Ronald get's beat by Little Old Ladies driving Jeeps.

Is there another color Lightning which will outrun this one??:nana2

Can you really call that a Lightning anymore? I am not trying to be sarcastic or anything but does it have any orignal parts except for the body on it?

I agree completely. At some point, the vehicle simply becomes a purpose built race car.

Hey isn't that Pop's? If not,did he sell it? I know at Lfest '03 he was planning to sell. Come to think of it ,he wasn't at Lfest '04.,...hmmmm......

[my2002lightning]

I'm thinking the quickest L to date was Jason Brown's Red '95 monster (7.88@182) out of Florida, I believe. http://www.dragtruk.com/ENTRIES/3rd_14et.html

As far as fastest Gen. 2, I think that one belongs to Stan Martin/Ruslow. He runs all-out top-end in NV/TX/NE. I seem to remember somewhere he topped out at 168! http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/eek2.gif I'll have to email him and confirm.

I've actually had the honor of riding shotgun with Stan a few times at Hallett before I got the L. Afterwards, he would comment on how hard I was clenching the center-bar and door cage pieces. http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/banana2.gifGood times!http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/bows.gif

Those roll-cages are noisy/creaky as all-hell under alot of flexing at varying speed, even with a helmet on with the windows down.

Stan's definitely a master of his craft.

Jason Brown's old truck now serving time at the local Arab Emerates Raceway. Check out the driver's picture on the hood/rear quarter panel. :rll: :rll:

Don't disagree with the logic, but it does have a Gen I Vin# unlike John Force's Mustang Funny Car. :cool:

True, but John Force's Funny Car makes more money... :cool:

[my2002lightning]

I can just imagine Apu rocketing down the 1/4 in that Red monster screaming "Allah Akhbar!" http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl2.gifThose Arabs seem to be all about the idolatry. http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

As a follow-up, Stan's email says his top land-speed is 173 mph and 196 mph air-speed! http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gifhttp://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/bows.gif

Yes, the line between what a L, "modded" L and an all-out L race-rig is sometimes blurry.http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif

I remember saying of the Red L's we see around here;) . What they have just proved, is that the red L owners in our group need to be ashamed of themselves for doing the Red color such an injustice. I know I am ashamed of them. Especially that guy who white knuckles it at 95 MPH:ron: .


Rocks:cool:


By the way....I hope you took notes on how to wake up a thread...:rll:

[my2002lightning]

Rocks,

I don't know what you're talking about. http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gifhttp://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/500/344105-Straightaway-TMS.MPG

Oh, btw, I thought of you today. It seems we have a brand-new RED SRT-10 running around Frisco. I've seen him twice so far, recently.

Some angry looking white-haired old-man, probably full of piss-and-vinegar. http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I would say you need to put a whipping on him, but I am afraid you'll let him beat you. You have to actually give it WOT to win a race.

Maybe Wes could race him in the other slow Red L our group has, he could lay an oil slick for him to slide on...:rll: . Maybe run some 12 + second quarter mile passes on built motor for him.

Hmmm....now Ron's talking the smack, when I recall him being worried a couple months ago and whining that he needs some heads etc cause he knew he was gonna get worked.

I'll get Terry to put 21* of timing in my tune and run 21 psi and I'm willing to bet I'll run low 11's. Keep in mind at Hallsville , those were the first passes the truck ever made, and those were on 13-14psi....more is coming, don't worry your pretty little head http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/flthrow.gif

As far as an oil slick, maybe you could talk to your buddy Jim and see if he could put a motor together correctly....frankly it' not rocket science.

LMAO.............I have no idea what the rambling about heads is all about. As to the smack talking...you started it my man. The little shot you took at me in this thread is the second time you have had some smack talking to do at me.....don't dish it out if you can't take it.


Rocks:tu:

[00Bolt]

btw, wes is that 350z running 11s yet? i remember that last run at kennedale you hit like 8.1.... but i think you said that was your first time to take it to track also... wondering if you got any better out of it yet?

Haven't touched it yet. I've got the injectors and new fuel pump, just need to install them and reflash the ECU to run a little more boost. I think with some sticky tires it can hit an 11.....lord knows the 19's I was running at Kennedale weren't helping my awesome 2.1 and 2.2 60's :)

Probably a reference from this excerpt from a prevous thread...just doing what I can to clear up all the confusion. Looks like this poor guy will never sell his red Lightning. At least on this website. :evil

"Yes, my current one is sold. I wanted to get cams and ported heads. By the time I spent the money to take the motor out and do all that I wanted to it....I would have been real close to what I am out the new motor. The fellow that bought the old motor has the ability to get the heads and cams done for much less than I would have spent. He also isn't having to pay for R&R on the motor. So it works out good for two of us....."

That doesn't sound like whining to me:d ...it sounds like someone asked about my other motor.

And your right....probably won't sell the Red L here...:evil . But I sure got Beau's thread some attention.;)

[Beaudee]

Say what gear was that guy in when he hit 105MPH in the clip 3RD?Noticed he was about to redline. :banana:

[Beaudee]

Never mind 3RD i tried it on a burger run!Awsome!!!!!!!!!!! knana

[Beaudee]

My 3RD is good for 120MPH. knana

[my2002lightning]

I couldn't have told you at the time. My eyes were closed in fear as Elaine was filming that TMS straight-away run. http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It was in 3rd with the OD on.

Just explaining the cam reference and that was the thread I was thinking about. Cam change would be important if you want to go faster. :cool:
