Lightning
The Lightning is, without a doubt, the most fun I have had with
four wheels. Obviously, the sheer acceleration that a vehicle
with power numbers like the Lightning (underrated at 380HP stock

What has amazed me the most with the Lightning is the way it handles.
It is a truck, and will always be a truck in the feel of the road,
but THIS truck can hold its own in the twisties with a lot of
performance-oriented cars.
This is my baby... The Lightning is the first vehicle
that I have bought brand new. Click on "The Story" (in

SVT (Ford's Special Vehicle Team) produced 6,381 Lightnings in
2001, with mine (#2,989) born on April 19, 2001 in Oakville, Ontario
(less than 20 miles from me). Here is the certificate that SVT
sent to my, confirming the legitimacy of my Lightning as a original:
