2003 and 2004 Lightnings made 380 HP, and gobs of torque to match. They are just as easy and cheap to mod as the cobras are, and trust me; you can throw $2,000 into a bone stock lightning and run DEEP in the 11's. Internals on those motors are extremely stout. My good friend Nick has one that runs consistent (they are ALL automatics) 10.4 runs in the 1/4. He has a good bit done to it, but the outside is bone stock. Only way to discern is by the 355 series rubber in the rear.
I am a Ford guy, on his way to becoming an SRT guy. I am blown away by the look, speed, and exclusivity of the SRT-6. To say that I literally can't wait to jump into an SRT, is an understatement.

Re: Embarrassing 1968 Camaro SS Convertible
Today, I was on my way home in the N/A to switch into the S/C for a good washing. When in the rearview mirror I spot a red GTO closing, so I floored the N/A to delay the enviable overtake
. I caught him at the stoplight and he asked, “What is that, it’s quicker than I thought.” I told him and he laughed as the light turned green, leaving me insulted
. Got home and forgot about the GOAT, ate and then load the S/C which TLC wash products. Traveling the same road I took home to the car wash, I spot the same red GTO about 100 yards up . Needless to say, I had to see if he remembered the blue crossfire he laughed at an hour ago. He did (not noticing I’m in the S/C LMAO), so I left him laughing on my way to the car wash. I bet he thought something was wrong with his car….still LMAO.
