Needed videos vs. lightning

[AUSyTyIN]

Convincing a friend's (who has ridden in a Ty) brother (who hasn't) that a sy or ty is quicker than a lightning. Already got the one off of sportmachines.com. Thanks in advance.

*edit the one on sportmachines won't let me download, anyone have it?

**edit found it else where on the net, still need others though!

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

i couldn't find any for ya i searched.

i wouldn't say a one is faster than another...there is no doubt that a stock L vs a stock sy would get wasted off the line by the sy and in most street races from a dig. however, they do have better top end and from a roll are probably faster IMO. Quarter mile is probably almost exactly the same or close to it. After that, its all about money invested into them...either one of them can go faster than another, just like any other car.

I'm sure there are some guys out in Co that might be able to show him in person for you

100% stock lightnings are dead even with my mostly stock Typhoon on the street over a quarter mile.

The Typhoon is usually buslengths ahead about a third of the way through, but then the lightning's top end abilities and the Typhoon's aerodynamic drag kicks in.

The two are within tenths, maybe even hundredths of each other with two average drivers. Every time I've been set up against a lightning, it's been a 50/50 tossup as to who comes out ahead.

SyTys are faster. I sold my 2000 Lightning because it never got driven.

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

If interested, I have a small vid of a Sy we built walking away from an L from a 30 roll. The Lightning's not exactly stock though (runs mid-12s), the Sy's not entirely stock either...

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

I saw that video, it's not walking away it's running away. That Sy was haulin dude. That L sounded pretty mean also. If you have a link to the vid im interested or you can email it to me as I have lost it. erik@ionet.net

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

i have video of me racing a lightning in the 1/8th. my truck is bone stock and the lightning had an intake, exhaust and chip. the guy was pretty bitter after the first race and asked for a rematch, second time was even worse... when i get the videos on my comp ill post them or PM them to you.

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

If someone still has the videos where the arizona guys raced "drewstein", I'd like to see those as well....I never saw them when they were up as I gave on on my dialup back then....I'd like to see yours also 666sothis666....

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

There was only one lightning I couldnt beat in my town that was highly moded with a built moter. That was with my old setup of a mitsu td06 60-1 hybrid and stock internals which will now be in my girlfriends ty.

Re: Needed videos vs. lightning

we'll see how the ty does in a little bit posibly with videos after the engine swap.
