Well, it does look good, but I'd be afraid to drive it because the engine/drivetrain can't back up what it looks like. I'd hate the though of spending that much money on a looks-type clone and getting my *** beat at every light. Are the emblems for our L's really $875.00?

What a moron!! He could've bought an L for the amount of money he put in that car. I added it up and it came to roughly $11,525. That's funny.

HAHAHA thats hilarious. I checked out his e-mail address, get this, svtaudio@***.com.
I really hope this guy uses the money from the sale, if he ever sells it, to buy a real Lightning. I think he is spending too much time in THCLand.

P.T.Barnum said it best... there is a sucker born every minute. To spend what he did ,you could have paid for half of a REAL Lightning and not be ashamed to lift the hood!

I bet he takes his blow-up doll when he goes out for a drive. She probably looks just like a REAL woman........

Galaxy,

Although I shake my head at the thought of some dufus creating a clone, I don't have a problem with some jack a$$ talking smack about beating a so-called Lightning. The reason being, this Jack A$$ will eventually run across a REAL Lightning and proceed to get his ***** handed to him on a platter...

The look on their face would be priceless....

If "The Rock" drove a Lightning he'd sum it up something like this ...
This guy is a "Jabroni" and I'd beat him down and knock him on his Candy @$$!!

The guy who is selling this is a member of this board. His name is svtaudio adn here is his site http://albums.photopoint.com/j/Album...286&a=10343257

Here is a post he made a while ago https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/000787.html he also has it on the classifieds on this site.

I cannot believe someone would spend $11,000 to have a truck that "looks" like a Lightning and does not perform like one!

I like his name on EBay...99blacklightning...and he made a red clone lightning!?! I also noticed that he paid $900 for Hyper White bulbs!! I have some land I would love to sell this guy down in the everglades.
I am curious if he has seen this post and realizes that he will probably have a tough time selling it.
