Went by and took some pics for scott (Coupe Performance) today. the pics are of his new street car he just finished and the 1st Gen Lightning. The Gt has fresh paint , 1/4 windows , all window trim painted nicely ,ported and milled heads, small Cam and intake and a small shot of Gas....Just a fun little street car . (built AOD) by F-22 with a small amount of stall. The truck has fresh paint and a ton of other new parts....mainly cosmetic. Im in the process of trying to talk him out of the car but he isnt budging right now...I will keep trying though , he will eventually sell it to me. the truck is in fact for sale though and honestly its the cleanest 1st Gen Ive seen in a long time

I wish either I lived closer to there so I could have coupe do the setup for my car. That GT looks good except the wing!

Damn....No love for the Saleen Wing????? I guess me and Coupe are the only ones who like them LOL. I think it looks much better than the factory cheap looking one. its all a matter of taste though

The wheels on the car actually look dull but they are not , they are brand new , They were fogged up (damp) because of the weather , I dried them off before I took the pic but the condensation built right back up on them. Just a few months back that car was pretty rough looking , Its really came a long long long way in a very short time

thing probably runs 6's thoughDont know....Its by no means weak though. He hasnt taken it to the track yet . I think he mentioned taking it this weekend though just to play around. I guess it gets too expensive to run 5-nothings week after week , so he built this one just to have a nice respectable street car to have a good time with and be able to drive it anywhere

The GT looks like Red Bull's old ride.
Believe it or not, that Gen 1 Lightning looks frickin' sweet (this from a Mopar Man). Where'd he find it? There was on on AutoTrader recently that I had been eyeballing for a work truck. Can't remember if it was red or black....

since evrybody else gave their oppinion i will to! the gt looks good, i like the wing but i think it would look better on some 17s or 18s! for some reason i was always a sucker for a gt with a saleen wing and cobra rs! the OG cobra rs! other than my 2 cents its bad ass! just not big on the race car look for a ''street car''.
the lightning is sick! all black, straight as hell! i have always liked those as well! dont touch the outside of the truck, its perfect! under the hood is all up to you!, im sure it will have a few goodies if not already!

Been running the single piece headlamps on my car for a year now; still love how they clean up an old stang. Drag Lites are timeless.

Nice ass rides. The saleen wing is ok, but I prefer the 93 cobra wing. The lightning, if I had the money to spare right now I would definately buy. That truck is beautiful. It would look sweet towing my car to the track. How much is he asking for the truck?

Hey Scott Nice rides Man.
What happened to the Green one?

03-04-2008, 11:02 PM
Welds were not my first choice...they are just gonna "work" best for what I'm gonna do with the car. I just wanna ride to the track, get out and talk shit, race, get in and go home...hence the welds with DR's on the rear. Its nothing special, matter of fact, its a cheap combo. 289 heads with stock valves and pinned rockerstuds, E-cam, Typhoon intake, homemade cold air, C&L meter,shorty's. It made 275 RWHP/295 RWTQ through an AOD trans. on motor. I'll find out what it runs soon. Its a fun little beat around car, for the money invested.

Update on Wilbur for those who care. Made 281 RWHP/299 RWTQ through the AOD. Sprayed a little gas on it and made 437 RWHP/468 RWTQ. This thing runs really good for the little $$$$ in it. Oh , and it has 240,000 miles on the shortblock. LOL. the oil pressre is a little low when it gets hot.

Randy, they only run 'till about 10-10:30 on thurs. nights. I have seen no 'Turds lately. I think the Mustang scared them off.

. I have seen no 'Turds lately. I think the Mustang scared them off.Ive never really given it much thought ...but you hardly ever see any LS powered cars there. the last one I saw was an LS1 in an RX-7 back last fall. It ran really well Mid- 7's if I remember correctly
