GM Working On A 'Mustang Competitor'!!

I know what you mean there!

My children are the most important thing to me, the rest of the world can burn. But my children are what I would save above all else.

A little secret I'll let you in on:

I've owned many Fords, and would buy a ford again. But, just couldn't bring myself to do so with a Dodge/Chrysler product again. Yes, I've owned a few of them also.

So I'm not a blind GM loyalist, I write this shit and have a hardy laugh, then sleep like a baby at night. remember, laughter is the best medicine, and there are a few on the group that know what I'm going through with my child now, plus the real estate deal I got a major cornholing on.

So, why go postal, when there is humor and laughter?

This is the net, make believe and fun!

I hope you people don't really take this shit seriously, because if you do. God help you! Zyprexa and any other anti-psychotic won't help you.

PS Thank you for the laughs people!

Ooh, I've waited for years to hear this!

I'm so thrilled I could shit.

I'm sure anyone looking at the work you do would *swear* you are blind.

Hey! I'm going to go to the local bar, beg the guys there to eat my shit like you did, and see if we can all have a hardy laugh!

You hang your ass out the window long enough, somebody gonna come along and jam a corn cob in it. Words to live by.

Humor? Wazzat? I'm dead serious.

Goody goody gumdrops! Let's all play make believe! First, let's pretend RK isn't really an anally-fixated pot-bellied unshaven wack job who's a waddling poster child for hoof-and-mouth disease.

God fears me. You should, too.

Not probably something I'd admit to on Usenet. Unless you're Katie Couric, and somehow I doubt you look anything like her.

So you admit to being an ill-educated moron not willing to check a reference before using it? Boy, I'm sure everyone will be interested in your opinions now.

Did I claim to be an expert? No, just informed due to my intensive medical background. To be blunt, I would have no use for the med since I have no need for it based on the indications, as I'd already ennumerrated, for its use. That and the fact that it doesn't come in suppository form. Again, check your references before spouting off and digging yourself (and any miniscule sense of credibility) deeper into your steaming dunghill.

As I stated in my previous post, you should discuss using it yourself with you Doctor. I'm sure if you act in his office like you act on Usenet, he would make an exception and prescribe it for you as a suppository. And as you have some sort of strange fascination with your ass and it's function anyway, as a special treat just for you, maybe you can get it in "retention enema" form.

I found a post a I did in 2001 concerning the Lightning and 454SS. It should answer your Lightning vs 454SS questions...and maybe shed some light on the overall subject. I have NOT snipped any of the original post, allowing you to read why I was posting what I was. Now, after that is another long post I did on ALL of the original sport trucks...mostly. Anyhow, it is an old post, from 2001 as well, and should definitely be updated now that the bar has been raised. I hope you enjoy, sorry it is sooo long.

V-8 performance from anybody is always a good thing. :)

Performance period is a good thing.

They were produced from 1990-1993, just 4 short years. Under the hood was a

7.4L EFI 454ci big block. Total number of units produced was 16,953 its best year in 1990 with a total of 13,748 units sold, that left a total of 3205 sold from 91-93. 1/4 mile times were low to mid 15 second range (stock) with a little timing work and a few other goodies these trucks were easily dipping into high 13's. They came with 3.73 gears, 32mm Bilstein gas-filled shocks and a 32mm front stabilizer bar, 12.7 to 1 steering ratio, and also a reduced payload capacity (sounds like the lightning huh?). You could get the same engine *special ordered* from the factory in a "Sport" edition of the truck (minus the other goodies), but not many of those were done. The truck was the official pace car of the 74th Indy 500.

Stats on the truck are as follows: (1990) 230hp, 385 ft/lbs torque The engine was worked over in 1992: 255hp, 405 ft/lbs torque

Introduced in 1993, the original Lightning followed a tried-and-true Detroit formula: Install a big engine in a small body. Small in pickup-speak means a two-wheel-drive regular-cab body, into which Ford slipped a 240-hp,

5.8-liter V-8. Performance was good for a pickup -- 0 to 60 in 7.2 seconds, 15.8 seconds in the quarter at 86 mph -- but nothing special in carland.

Twelve thousand of those Lightnings, priced at just under $22,000, (the

454SS went from $18,000 to $20,000) were sold between 1993 and 1995. After 1995, the Lightning went on a four-year hiatus until a new model based on the current F-150 debuted in 1999.

The Lightning returned in 1999. It could roar to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and still tow a 5000-pound burden and carry 800 pounds of stuff. They only produced 8966 in 1999 and 2000.The truck made 360hp in '99 and '00. Thanks to a 90mm mass airflow meter (10mm larger than last year's), a larger intake-air opening in the fender well, and a higher-flowing intake manifold, SVT engineers have netted 20 more horsepower and 10 more pound-feet of torque from the supercharged V-8. The horsepower now stands at a massive 380 at 4750 rpm, and torque is 450 pound-feet at 3250 rpm. The Lightning runs $32,460 -- only $1460 more than last year's model -- and for that money, you get more horsepower than in any other production truck sold in the U.S.

*NOTE* Here is the kicker.

The new Lightning has a shorter final drive -- 3.73:1 vs. 3.55:1 -- and that means acceleration times have improved dramatically. Sprints to 60 mph now take 5.2 seconds, 0.6 second quicker than in the previous Lightning. The quarter-mile now whooshes by in an amazing 13.8 seconds at 104 mph, faster than an SVT Mustang Cobra and only a few ticks behind the $55,675 Mustang Cobra R, which performs the feat in 13.0 seconds at 111 mph. Top speed also crept up 3 mph to 142.

Good point.

Read above. It is! It seems that Chevy got out of the Performance truck game right as Ford was coming into it. For the record, every piece of info I can find on the 93 454SS and the 93 Lightning, show the 454SS being a touch faster in the 0-60 and the 1/4 mile. Maybe Chevy should have stayed in the game. Can you imagine where the 454SS and the Lightning would be now?

2001-10-23 20:24:57 PST There is a thread going on in here about several different trucks and the performance numbers. I have taken the liberty of finding some info on these vehicles and am now posting it here, and in the before mentioned thread. I hope you guys like this!

I am sure most everyone here knows how fast the Lightning is and what it's hp and torque ratings are. As well, I am sure we all know what the 1/4 mile times and top speed are. Nevertheless, since we are having such a good debate over the quickness of these vehicles, I am going to post times for the different truck platform based vehicles which have been built *almost* strictly for performance and ass kicking. Here are the ratings and times for a select number of Sport/Performance Trucks.

454SS (1990-1991): 230hp, 385 ft/lbs torque. (1992-1993) 255hp, 405 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 14.9-15.7 Engine: 7.4 Liter 454ci Big Block V-8

Dodge Ram Indy 500 (1996): 245hp, 360 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 17.1 @ 83mph Engine: 5.9L V8

Ford Lightning (1993-1995): 240hp, 340 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 15.7 @

86mph Engine: 5.8Liter 351ci V-8

Ford Lightning (1999-2000): 360hp, 440 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 14.1 @

99mph Engine: 5.4Liter Supercharged 330ci Triton V-8

Ford Lightning (2001): 380hp, 450 ft/lbs torque. 1-4 mile = 13.8 @ 104mph Engine: 5.4Liter Supercharged 330ci Triton V-8

GMC Syclone (1991): 280hp, 360 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 13.8 @ 101 mph Engine: 4.3Liter Turbocharged/Intercooled 262ci V-6

GMC Typhoon (1992-1993): 285hp, 360 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 14.2 @ 98 mph Engine: 4.3Liter Turbocharged/Intercooled 262ci V-6

Dodge Shelby Dakota (1989): 175hp, 270 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile = 16.26 @

84.08mph Engine: 5.2Liter 318ci V-8 (This was an authorized Shelby Vehicle)

Dodge Lil' Red Express (1978-1979): 225hp, 295 ft/lbs torque. 1/4 mile =

15.7 @ 88mph Engine: 360ci V-8 (This was the truck that helped start it all)

So there ya go, I hope everyone appreciates the time it took to find this info. There are a few other trucks that could be included, as they were released as GT or Sport Editions, but these vehicles posted are *Limited Production* Performance Trucks. If you think any other truck platform based vehicle should be included than speak up damnit! Also, I took all of the 1/4 mile times I could find for each vehicle and calculated the average for each one. Obviously a Lightning and a Syclone could beat each other in times, depending on sea level, weather, temperature. So please don't tell me my info is inaccurate. I did my best to present a fair and accurate report on these vehicles.
