terrible.....F

 

worst thing is they're actually advertising it as a Lightning

 

Wow!

 

even worse is that its a guttless 4.2 v6 5sp

 

Heres a whole forum full of goofs talking about building a "Lightning" out of their V6 trucks...

http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/sh...hreadid=120647

Makes my stomach turn...

 

KC, reading those guys talking about turning their cars into Lightnings is guaranteed to give ANYONE nightmares..(at least an L owner) for god sakes, I don't care if you use the body work, just leave the SVT and other badges off it.

 

That's as much of a Lightning as a Escort ZX2 is a Cosworth

 

Good thing they have a little "contact dealer" link so we could correct them on their mistake...

I sure hope they don't get too offended by my email...

 

what I can't believe is a dealership is making the claim

 

I was gonna slap some "Nismo" stickers/badges on my Altima to see what she could fetch but I think now I'll put some "Lightning" and "SVT" badges on her and try to sell it as a Lightning

 

damn, I've been looking all over for one of those trucks!!! V-6 longbed posermobile Lightnings must be pretty rare

 

Gotta love this stuff...

"Im putting a 460 from a 79 lincoln in my F150. It should be able to smoke the lighting."



Then the response:

"I have a 460 in a full size Bronco, and it couldn't touch one ..."



These people are too much...

Just saw this one... These guys are worse than ricers!
"I have made a custom bed cover out of leather that is held down by chrome hood pins."

WTF??

 

It stupid people like them who give the guys a bad name. I mean who gonna believe you can fit a 460 in an f150. Its way to heavy. The autoshopperonline truck is the ugliest thing i ever seen. The lightning bumper is cool on regular f150, but what the are talking bout is very distasteful....

 

<Contact This Dealer>...

Um, that is not a Ford Lightning. I don't know who you are trying to fool, or if someone fooled you. =) Please rename that or do something. V6? 5-Spd? No. Sorry. Please check the specs for a lightning then compare it to that truck.

<End of Contact This Dealer>

How many others sent them an email? Haha...

 

I like the looks of the f150's with L bumpers and wheels, if I still had mine I would think about the cover and rims, but the bagging is a little to far, anyone that knows better is going to see right through it and it really does nothing as far as looks for the truck. Personally I like the look of no badges, but with the stamping process ford uses to mount these badges its more hassle to fill in the holes than its worth.
