I am the second owner and have had it since April 2006. It's priced to sell. Compare from link on bottom. Also do not contact me just to drive it. It's a 5.4 Supercharged engine. It is fast, has plenty of torque and handles amazing. This truck was professionally serviced on a routine schedule. Never raced and was truly babied. The famous JDM Engineering (LIghtning and SVT specialists) just had a look at this Ford Lightning on Feb 07, 2013. It was given a thumbs up and was acknowledged regarding the care taken of the truck.
Upgrades are; Bassani Exhuast, 20" American Racing Rims, solid Tonneau cover with power lock, Lightning emblem covers, custom Lightning floor mats, Towing package (but has never towed a thing). 6CD changer..
This truck shines, runs and rides like new. Adult owned. It's an eye catcher and is commented on regarding how nice it is everywhere it goes. This is not a brand new truck! It had been involved in a minor accident. A deer that creased the drivers door. I can provide a report showing this. Car Fax is a great guide to be sure a vehicle was not salvaged or totalled but is in no way always accurate.There was no intrusion or damage beyond cosmetic. All work was done at Branning Auto Body in East Brunswick. Any replaced parts were factory. They have full records and did a job that made it like it never happened. Top notch.
This truck has been maintained and serviced on time. Only Royal Purple 5W/30 oil has ever been used.
Pay Pal accepted. No delivery. This vehicle has been gone over professionally and checked thouroughly. If you want it checked on your own, bring a mechanic. It will not be driven anywhere to meet you.
The 2001 SVT F-150 Lighting is another leap over the 1999-2000 model. Today's truck can do 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds and finish the quarter-mile at 100 mph in 13.9 seconds. And we can assure you, those 13.9 seconds go by very fast indeed. (That's being conservative).
SVT engineers worked diligently to improve the performance of the supercharger even though the supercharger itself was untouched. Compared to the 2000 model the Lightning's front air intake opening is 50 percent larger, with a 26 percent larger inlet opening in the filter box, providing more airflow to the supercharger and immediate throttle response. Additional rows of cooling tubes in the intercooler under the supercharger help improve power and efficiency.
The Lightning only comes equipped with a four speed automatic transmission with overdrive. No manual is offered contrary to what most enthusiasts might want. Ford doesn't have a manual transmission that can handle the Lightning's 450 ft-lbs of torque.
For its suspension the Lightning adds brand new Bilstein monotube shocks with better dampening than the tubular, gas-charged shocks found in last year's truck. The rest of the suspension and chassis remains unchanged. Compared to the 2000 model truck on hand during the drive you feel much more secure in tight corners and during hard driving. The Lightning hugs the road like Lycra on a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. When combined with the limited-slip differential in the rear and specially formulated Goodyear Eagle tires, the Lightning exhibits the best handling found in a pickup truck not sporting all-wheel drive. Any of the understeer you normally expect to find in a pickup during aggressive cornering was quickly overcome
The 2001 Lightning's exterior has received several enhancements over last year's model. Though the front fascia is still the same it sports a new billet-like grille and lower air intake. The headlights and tail lamps take a cue from the aftermarket import crowd - clear lenses. It's a great way to set the Lightning apart from the rest of the F-Series crowd and the rear lamps are especially striking.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
