The only reason I'd think of doing it is because smog issues. The Cobra needs tuned and that's about it but the smog still lingers in the picture. If it was as simple as passing every 2 years then no big deal but with all the cops sending people to the ref it's a huge gamble to drive it. Some people just say fuck it but once they get caught its a whole different story.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15
I make friends on the internet that are@Age18
I was picked on in my youth so I became a bully@Age24
My mouth started to run 24/7 on the internet, but my car never at the track@Age26
First pubic hair@Age30
Troll@Age31
My internet friends and I ALL just got the boot for good!@Age31
Yes, you read it right, 31 and just as childish as my fresh out of highschool internet friends@31
Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

an 8# pulley on a stock block lightning is asking for problems. To be honest anything over 4# is playing on borrowed time. I've seen many with this amount of boost go straight onto the freeway stab it and boom.

Thanks Tee, where have you been???? I actually moved closer to you, sold the pizza place and have a actual M-F job.
Parting with the car will be hard when/if I ever do. It will have to be the right situation and the right car. The major issue with this truck is that it is across the country.

My major reason other than always wanting a lighting is that I NEVER drive it. It has been non-op for a couple years and have not wanted to deal with the smog. The most driving it has got other than pulling it in or out of the garage is when I moved 15 miles to a new house!!!

How is trading a modded cobra for a modded lightning going to make smog time any easier? I'd keep the cobra, unless you need a truck(though I think a harley davidson f150 would be a better choice than a lightning).

don't sell it Dave, but if you need the lightning then don't trade for a 99 or 00, bad heads for sure!

Thanks for the input. I will probably just keep it. I am sure I would feel different if I could just get it smogged and drive it.
