Is it just me or does their new body style look a lot like a Dodge Ram? Especially that bottom pic. I'd still run it...

Very nice looking, wheels are a big too large though for it. And yeah, the 2nd pic looks a lot like a Ram sideview. Still, I'd like to see the times it would pull.

Rod K,

You better watch out bro. This truck was built by Pro-Finish/Pro-Glass ( the same guys that built my shaker hood ) and let me tell you...this Chevy is BAD *** !!! It's a heavy duty powertrain in a 1/2 ton truck and with the juice it'll flat out fly. Mid 12's will NOT be a problem.

12-04-2001, 02:43 PM

It looks like any other Chevy to me with a lowering kit, so nothing special in the looks department. Also, he may want to look into a lower profile tire, something just doesn't look right with chrome rims and super swampers

. As for the engine, sounds pretty bad *** but so did the SS concept until it ran like a 14 or 15 sec 1/4 mile *snicker, giggle*.

I'm not usually a Chevy guy, but I like it! One question though...what if we have engine goodies of OUR own? Will it still send us packing - - or the other way around? Kidding...pretty cool

Nice Camber......

496 BB with Nitrous----mid 12's will not a problem????

I certainly hope not. But, you did say "will not be a problem." That, to me, means it has yet to be proven.

I have an old,black farm truck I'd like to run against it, though.....

12's won't be a problem?? Big deal. I was expecting someone to say 10's. Then I'd be sorta impressed.

12-04-2001, 04:49 PM

Why did you sell your Lightning for that??????? You will get walked on all day. Thats gay!!! When you race your fellow L owners, be sure to bring a boom and dust pan so you can salvage what is left of your nos powered thingy! How much Nos are you shooting anyways. If you hook a good shot of nos and afew mods to an L, it can easily run mid 12's all day too! Hell, if you sell your L to buy something awsome expecially a chevy, get something respectable like a ZO6. No flames, just tellin it how it is.

Well, I don't like the wheels/tires, and it sits a bit too low for my tastes, but that's just personal preference. Otherwise if Chevy will build 'em,,, AND warranty them, I want one. Nice Truck!

Relax there kiddies. Go re-read my reply to Rod K. The guys at Pro-Finish are great and they build some awesome machines so some of you should consider broadening your horizons.
As for Mr.Lightningfastsvt, How many people own a truck like this SS ??? How many own a Z 06 ??? This truck is the only one I know that had the 3/4 ton powertrain transplanted into a 1/2 ton. How many Lightning owners have anything this original ???
