Truck Specs:
Silver 2000 model Lightning, purchased new in May 2000.
The mod list keeps growing, so it's hard to boast about the big bang-for buck at this point. Pretty much all of the usual bolt-ons, plus a lot of dyno time. Currently putting down 409/536. That's a lot of fun on old, bald, worn out Eagle F1's.
I've had it for almost 9 years. I've put 18,000 miles on the clock, about half of that to/at/from the track. Life is good.

Owner Comments:
These things are fast and easy to mod. Too bad you don't see a lot of them out representing like the good old days.
The best pass was recorded on 11/23/08 at Edgewater Dragway. The air was excellent (-1100 ft DA), and the track prep was outstanding that day. Too bad it was a solo pass - I would have liked to drop that 12.51 on an SRT8 or Corvette.
