Yep Ronnie offered me a good deal on his Lightning, so meet my new ride. I'll shoot some better pictures in a day or two.

Every gear head needs a lightning to race to the parts store in of coarse.  Nice ride.

I have... Just too cheap to spend that much money...

Anyway my Bird has no problem hanging with a stock Gen II(got a freind with a '00), don't really need another fast ride...

My Lightning is actually third(maybe fourth if I fix the blue bird) on my quick list, the old Cobra Jet can slaughter it as well.

I like those Lightnings a lot. A guy I knew had one in red. It was pretty quick but his had 18 inch or so wheels. Looked sharp but rode horribly. Enjoy!!
