What colors are there? I know I like black as a second to the above colors. Then there is silver, that is ok along with red and true blue. I dont like white too much. Is there mineral grey? That is it right? So right now it looks like with my budget, I can not afford the DSG and Sonic blue because it is 03. So looks like I will be getting a black 99-00. Anything else? BTW, I plan to make this a daily driver/friday night street/strip racing/pizza delivery truck. I plan on taking really good care of it like I have my mustangs if not better. I love the Lightnings. I would like it to be a mid to low 12 second truck at sea level and a low 13-high 12's here in CO eventually. For now, I will keep it fairly stock except for the ride height and a few power mods and exhaust.

I dont know if it really will be my full time pizza delivery truck because I dont want to put that many miles or wear and tear on it. Instead, I might just sell the 5.0 and get a $5,000 honda and drive that. Who knows. I think I will probably wait until I pay off a few credit cards and find a nice DSG...

Pizza delivery truck huh? Do you realize it costs roughly $.67 per mile to own and operate a lightning?
