[luiz28]

to hell with mustangs, ive had my share of races with mustangs and they looooooooooooose everytime, pony boys all think they can kick my ass, but my 96' z28 is not one to mess with. excursion, please, its like putting wheels on a house. what the hell was ford thinking. i will always be a chevy man.

[StupidBrodie]

what are you smoking buddy? how does an excursion fit into the SS vs cobra theme??? sounds like you just want to start some sort of stang vs maro war ( i believe theres 500 of those going on as we speak) so hey whats another one seeing how you've obviously picked the chevy side ill go with the ford one...

I wouldn't count the mustang out. I like Camaros just as much as the next Chevy fan, but I see less cobras than I do Camaros. Both are good cars and it all depends on what you like, so don't even start saying that one is God and the other is crap because there are a lot of people who would disagree with you and I'm one of them. The mustang cobras do have speed, and that cannot be denied. Also, I agree with StupidBrodie, I'd take the Lightning over a Silverado SS any day of the week, a supercharged 5.4 or a 5.3 engine? hmm...

GM already made a truck faster than the new lightning a decade ago

[StupidBrodie]

are you going to elaborate on that? whats this super fast truck? and no Lingenfelter crap either... (which ran a 13.3 if i remember correctly)

probably the gmc syclone/typhoon.

aww yes the syclone... whats the 1/4mile on those again a mid to high 13 i believe... same as the current lightning though at its time it was pretty fast...

ford kept the lightning going at least and keeps making it faster
what ever happened to GM's fast truck? i dont know too much about trucks do you know of any plans to put another one on the market???

[chevydrummer76]

The Syclone's #'s were
0-60 4.5
1/4 mile 13.4

and there is a concept of turbo v6 trailblazer rated at 400hp, heard there was a good chance they will make it too

[syr74]

Unfortunately there is always a "good chance " GM will make something like their concepts. Unfortunately, anymore they seem to be totally
de-balled by the time they reach the showroom like the Silverado SS. The concept promised to "rip the lightning a new one". Hell, it can't even rip a standard Hemi Ram or Nissan Titan a new one since it reached production. And, those are just plain old every-day trucks!

And, there seemed to be a lot of "ringer" Syclones and Typhoons in the automotive tests as they virtually never run the same times at the strip the mags ran. And that is generally the opposite of how that equation works.

I have two buddies, one is actually a cousin, with Typhoons. (both the same white with grey/silver ground effects) Having ridden in a Lightning and both of those I have a very hard time believing those trucks are actually faster, or even close.

w3rd. I've heard of something like a Trailblazer SS, which will probably be just as gutless as the Silverado SS. They look great, I'll give them that, but other than that, I'd rather have an SRT-10 Ram, since they are about the same price.

2004 silverado ss
since when is 0-60 in 6.3 and 1/4mile in 14.9 gutless?

Sine both the Lightning and F-150 Harley Hauler began running in the thirteens for a lot less money than GM wants for their rebadged Denali pickup with Dubs and a SS ground effects package. Not to mention both Fords are far more comfortable than the Silverado SS. For that amount of money a pickup had better be a hell of a lot faster than the SS is, the "baddest" Silverado is a joke.

96 z28 LOL A LS1 z28 would rape the shit out of that and a Cobra would rape the shit out of a LS1 z28. Even though it's a Mustang but it's a 32 valve twin cam supercarghed mustang that will eat and rape your LT1 Z anyday.

see i do agree with u a cobra will kick my ass anytime, but im talking about two simple cars both V8's no nos or superchargers, i think if a car comes stocked with one thats cool, but dont add all kinds of shit to it just because u cant afford a car with balls i just think it pussy shit. and thats my opinion, so u can agree or disagree.
