I've owned 3 of them that ran anywhere from 10's to 13's. They are GREAT trucks and very fun to drive.

Nice trucks on the outside but inside is really dull and lame...Ford should have done a lot more, the HD f150 look reallly nice inside compared to a lightning
btw whats up with your car, is it running good? You happy with it?

Yeah Ive been looking into them recently and found a 2002 White one for a fair price. Just seeing the ups an downs. I heard today though that they had a problem with popping plugs out of the heads once you begin modifying them. IDK if its true or not, maybe a rumor.

I just sold mine, I had it for 3 years and loved it. Never had one issue. IMO it is a great truck...only left it because I missed driving a stick and got into a new Z06

True but only one some model heads. I beleive they revised them with more threads in later model years to prevent it from happening. Don't remember the details but I'm sure you can find out on Google
