My mate is looking at one of these. He's fed up with his CL500 even though he's only had it for 5 months.
Does anyone know what these do 0-60 and 1/4 mile. And the main thing i need to know. What do i have to do to my Corsa to beat it?

they are awesome! we've tuned a few of these now, not as chukable as a lightening, but still fast wit hmoney spend in the right areas! seen a few of these running in the 12's, which i think is awesome for the weight!
id personally prefer a lightening over a HD tho, they look loads better.
to beat him you need to fit a big supercharger and a 5.4 2v v8!

Went to see one 2day. They trader said that he ran the truck for a few months coz it already had an LPG conversion and he liked it. He said that £26 got him about 250 miles. The LPG is at 38p where he gets it from.
I can't get that out of £35 from my Corsa

lpg really is the only way to go on a f150 IMO... isnt it normally something like 5mpg?
Roughly £2000 for the lpg conversion aint it? worth it IMO

LPG is the only way on these trust me i know, my lightning averaged between 8-12 mpg.
They don't go round bends and they need an anchor to stop but fuck me are they fun. A friend of mine has the Harley which has been chipped, magnaflow exhaust a different pulley setup and its lowered and its 100 times better than standard form.
The harleys have between 340/380 bhp & 425 ft of torque depending on year.

there was a red f150 lightning that used to be around here, my mate encountered him with his 205 mi16 that was on 45s, cammed etc and around 180ish bhp and completely stripped
the f150 just walked away, and the 205 was hardly slow

yea id agree they are the best of lookers although we had a white one with a bit of a lift kit and some nice wheels and it didnt look to bad.
just felt like king of the road as you can literally just drive over anyone who gets in your way
