Insanely clean 646 RWHP Daily Driver 01 Lightning
 

Was told to post this here

*** PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT WANT TO SELL OR TRADE THIS AS I JUST GOT IT BUT A) IT WON'T FIT IN MY GARAGE AND I CAN'T BARE TO LET IT SIT OUTSIDE and B) I DRIVE IT 60 MILES DAILY AND I'M GETTING KILLED ON GAS lol***

I'm pretty sure I have a deal in place to trade the truck but here goes anyway.


This is probably the most ridiculous daily drivable truck you will come across. Many reputable people including Rick at Amazon can vouch for this truck being legit. I'll keep the description fairly limited and assume that if you are seriously interested you'll inquire about more minute details. The truck has 97k original miles but it shows like a 20k mile truck and EVERYTHING that matters has much less than 20k miles on it. Receipts and dyno sheets available. No expense was spared in the building of this truck. It's taken first place trophies including best lightning at Mustang week. Will consider trades but NO junk. Some details:

the list goes on and on and on. As I said if you're serious you can contact me for further details. I don't have time for tire kickers either. Serious inquiries only please. There is triple what I'm asking invested in this truck and it stops traffic when it's out in town. Truck has run 10.90's before! Still has all the comforts of a daily driver like cruise and cold AC.

oxymoron

Why do I feel like that plate was on a mustang at one point. Nice truck though. GLWS.

+1. Might want to delete that part of your post. You had me interested until I seen Amazon.

kinda curious about this? i'm assuming amazon is a local speed shop that I apparently dont know about and this rick dude is a douche that works there?

lol, here we go.

They are in Pendelton, SC and best I can tell have performed rectal exams on a few of the members on here.

oh ok, so up by clemson area folks then. just curious as i've been just starting to hunt for a shop that does dyno/tuning in charleston and been trying to learn the good/bad ones is all.

anyway, back on topic lol.

word is amazon sucks. ask randy lol

I've been treated very well by Rick and the folks at amazon. I'd rather not turn this into a pissing match as it's easy to find horror stories about every shop or tuner if you dig enough. You're more than welcome to inspect the truck or take it to someone you trust. Either way please respect the nature of this thread. I don't think I'm being unfair by asking that much

very true. i have had a couple of shops fuck my stuff up. i finally found a good engine man and tuner. the truck looks good and if i were in the market .i would buy it. good luck with the sale.

Don't ask me, ask 80% of this forum that speak from personal experience. When you have a shop and the locals all say you are shit, you most likely have a couple corn's sticking out and smell like a turd.

Nice truck though, hopefully Rick hasn't molested it and it actually does what its supposed to do. Can't say I didn't warn him about posting that up on here, cause I tried.

It seam's to be a nice truck and there's no 2.6 KB trucks around here. I would hate to see it leave the area, and I'd like to see it run at one of our local tracks.

what kind of HP/TQ/ET would a truck like that do?

Properly tuned, high 600's HP and mid/low 700's tq. ET again that would depend on tune,weight and traction but its not unheard of for a truck like that to run mid to low 6's at 102-104 MPH and mid to low 10's in the 130's boost only and be fully Daily driveable with AC PS and 5000 lb towing capacity. Technically, that truck should easily do all of that or better.

Unfortunatly, most of them are tuned by tuners that I wouldn't let tune my lawnmower and are typically stuck in the mid to low 7's.

The OP says 649 HP and 10.90's et, just in comparison trucks with smaller blowers (2.3 liter) around here have made more HP and ET'd in the 10.50's. I would assume the tune for that Big Bore KB 2.6 is extremely conservative if it only ran 10.90's there's some of them in the 9's on boost.That is a verry good blower, much more impressive to me than the larger 3.4 whipple.

I have a dyno sheet for 646/912 right in front of me. That was on a 3" upper with 110

If it made that much TQ and that little HP its rich, thats safe, but there's alot more on the table.

Rich= TQ on these trucks.

yes sir, it's def tuned safely on the rich side. Much prefer that than lean. Just goes to show there's more available

I love when I see someone say rich is safe!!

LOL I was going to post the same thing.

All depends on how rich and what context, if its 10.0-11.0 in closed loop your right. When I say rich What I mean is (in supercharged or turbo) 11.5-12.0 in closed loop. Lean to me is 12.5 up.

There's also open loop, where being too rich will do more harm, but again it would all depend on how much.

If he's making that much TQ, he's way rich, and if its tuned by Rick it doesn't surprise me and its probably all messed up, and that would explain why it has a built transmission as well, that's usually the first thing to go with his tunes.

lol you guys love taking things out of context here I see. Look, some of you live close enough to come see the truck for yourselves. You should do that instead of formulating an opinion from behind a computer screen. If you have a tuner that you prefer using then use them. Hell I'd probably be willing to adjust my price to allow you to do so. I doubt anyone here is seriously interested though as is the case with most forums.

That couldn't be further from the truth, there are 2 people on this forum that in the last couple months have sold their heavily modified trucks on forums, there also have been quite a few trucks that have been bought outright or traded on this specific forum.

There are people on this forum that are looking for a truck currently aswell.

As a matter of fact, there are very few trucks on this site that were not bought off of a forum.

The reason this thread went off is because you mentioned a name that has "broken it off" in many of us. And most of us have spent unnecessary time and $$ trying to fix the problems that he caused. We are the local's, we know the trucks around here, and we know the shops around here.

as I've said....one shoe does not fit every foot. Rick has been building my cobra from the ground up and has done an amazing job so far with it and many other cars I've personally known. I could slander some VERY reputable tuners but I understand that my bad experience (blowing up a brand new forged motor) does not necessarily mean a bad one for someone else. That's foolish. If someone were really interested they would formulate their own opinion, not one based of someone else's issues. Anyways this thread is useless now so I'm fine with using my other resources to sell or trade.

Mods move these comments before he gets all emotional!

lol nah it's all good man. I don't get bent out of shape over forums. I've got plenty of interest in the truck. I'll be fine

You should have told us that was proaudio (Jason's) truck, we know that truck. It went 10.90 on the 2.3 that used to be on there.

Mike, we've looked at that truck before, that's the guy that ended up getting your stock exhaust out of the trash can when we cut it off at the track that day. To my knowledge it wasn't tuned by Amazon when he had it, and if memory serves me right the motor was pretty sound and the truck was really clean.

He said on the other forum he'll take 16.5 for it............................................

If I would have known you knew him I might have made the mention lol. It was tuned by injected engineering according to receipts. Again, at $16,500 I'm allowing plenty for you to have whoever you want tune the truck to your liking. As I said though if it doesn't sell outright at that price I've already got a trade in place for Saturday.

16,500 is a good price. someone needs to buy this truck. bwelch?

Its not a good price, its a steal.

BTW it wasn't just one of us that had bad experiences, that's the sad part of this. It was MOST of us, including me.

then someone needs to steal it. :bigthumb:

Jason is a good guy and put a lot of time, effort and $$$ in that truck.

I'm sorry you guys dealt with that. Don't wish it on anyone. I'm serious guys if you intend to by this you have until Friday evening. Otherwise I hit the road to make the trade I have in place.

I have been looking for a Lightning for awhile now .. and came across this one through a google search..... For all of you who specialize in this truck .. The asking price this guy has i was wondering if anyone could tell me if its reasonable and also has anyone had any issues with the Ken Bell SC i have been running pro charger so im just trying to get some info .. Thanks

what are you gonna trade it for?

A 93 notchback with a blown 2v and cash

The KenneBell Units themselves are very reliable, if installed and cared for properly.

Fixed

Anybody whos seriously thinking of buying this truck and doesn't at this price is a moron. Bottom line.

Definately has a lot of good stuff on it. I would buy it if I were in the market (or had any money at all) only because I know what it would cost to put something like that together and this saves you a bunch of time and money.

WhatsNext.. Would it be ok if i were to drive out your and possibly take the truck to a mechanic to look her over ? I have family out your side of town and know a few shops

When?
