Playing with Lightning!!

[Archiev]

A couple of weekends ago, I took the family down to Somerset Ky. for a neices birthday. Six if us in the Astro. This was the weekend of the Somer nights cruise.I'm sitting two lights from my turn when I hear the engine rumble behind me. I look in my rearview and see a 99 ford lightning pulling up beside me. Flomaster wxhaust rumbling and truck quivering. I guess he wanted to show me I was stuck in a mini van and he was'nt. Well, light turns green and I jump him off the line. I hear his motor rev and see his bumper coming up beside my window so I press the gas a little more and pull away. I hear him get a little louder and give mine more gas, staying ahead of him.He finally gets mad and floors his truck and gets beside me. I let off the gas and hit the turn signal. You could see him pounding on his steering wheel and yelling at me.I turned and went on to my sister-in-laws. Moral I guess is dont laugh at an Astro. It will surprise you.

Wow,my van has an 8 & there's no way I'll keep up to a lightning....

I hate to tell you but it isn't worth the price of the gas for the guy in the lightning to blow the doors off a astro. They will eat a 5.0L mustang easy.

Pardon me!? It is always worth the look on their face! Dude yes it is. For me since I have a mid-V6 and no V8 I like to use the vehicle size to obstruct view and move at the last moment :p <- young and stupid.

Well Kidhauler, he was trying very hard not to let the family van embarass him. I know what a motor sounds like at full throttle. He had the lightning doing everything it would do when he finally went around me. Like I said, I was just playing. Evidently he took it seriously tho.
