My Girlfriends new purchase!

3V2000GT · 08-08-2006, 06:11 PM

My GF just put a deposit on this. Its a 2000 SVT Lightning. She will pick it up early thursday, cant wait, i absolutely love lightnings. The truck has quite a bit of miles, all highway miles, its from california, never seen winter and one owner! First mods are going to be intake and Borla exhaust, and then pulley swap and tune. yeah!!
cant wait to drive it!!!!
(sorry no pics of the engine, she went to look at it while i was at work and she didn't think of taking pictures of the engine )

just because the outside looks nice does not necessarily mean it was well taken care of. Hell my car looked great outside when I got it but it needed some work I wasnt aware of.

Thats the negative of buying used, buyer beware.

Very nice, if they made them in extended cad (blah, blah, weight) I would have gotten one.

They did it was called the Harley Edition. It had just a little less power but engine was virtually identical.

Yeah, but since they say "Harley" on them, you can't find one for less than $25k.

232forme · 08-09-2006, 01:49 PM

I love lightnings!!! Tell your gf to try and keep out of boost.
