    Both, dude. They're not as comparatively fast as they were for their time, but there's just something cool about 'em I feel in my core. The gas mileage is scary bad, though.

      yea, i remember riding in the neighbor's new one back in 1990 and it felt mean as hell. How did they compare to the GMC Syclone?

            They have the "potential" to be quick, but stock they were slow as shit, and have absolutely atrocious gas mileage

                Flacos truck is a beast, I think he's in the 8.0's now in the quarter.

                  stock they were turd's, the heads didn't flow anything, they made only a few more horsepower than the small block. The only thing going for them was a bunch of torque from what I remember.

                    Lightning, Harley-Davidson F-150, Roush F-150 & Saleen F-150 - 1st Gen Lightning vs 454SS - Someone asked about real world numbers for the SS and 1st Gen Lightning. Here it is, from Car and Driver, Truckin' and Motor Trend magazines, back in the day, 1993, when Ford first came out with the Lightning, which was also...

                      Good starting point. I'd put on some heads, and cam, and call it done.

                        Not even in the ballpark. Twice as heavy and half as powerful (not really but you get the point). Syclone was a bad ass. 454SS was just ass.
                        Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

                          Yep. 120hp and 500ft lbs of torque at 1300rpm. The stock heads on those trucks are shit.
