Default maybe jumping ship
we got this lightning at work that caught my eye i'm thinking of buying it when my car sells. i think it'd be fun something different with the sexy sound of that supercharger.

link is not working

edit: by the way if you want the sexy sound of a SC it will be cheaper to buy one and put it in your car than to buy a whole nother car for just the whine FYI

Ford lightnings are slow & heavy. My first ride in a forced induction vehicle was in one at the time I thought it was fast. Then I got my LS1 and learned better.

why do you all think i'm loony? the vette has to go and i want a glide to ride in the summer instead of my bike. so sell the car and bike buy another bike and get this to use for now since i wont have enough for another vette. i will be in another vette in 2 years or so or save up for a c6z06
