Reminds me of a lightning I passed on the highway years ago, after me some DB in a Chevy passed him like he was winning a race. A second later all we saw were Ford taillights.Pretty good description of a Lightning. Too much power, not enough traction. Even the factory 380 hp was too much for the tires. Mine is about 450, has JLP longbars (traction bars), a custom made panhard bar, and I run Nitto 555Rs in 305/45. Still smokes them anytime I just drop the hammer. I have to pussy foot it to get it going, then once moving, I can drop it and get a decent takeoff. Even then, sometimes it just lights them up.
