[QUOTE="Jim Johnson, post: 953721, member: 52761"] A new Dark Shadow Gray Lightning called to me in 2003, so I bought it. :banana: It's my daily driver and the '01 ST is my wife's. Well, except when it snows -- then the L sits at home (it's treacherous in even a dusting of snow). We can agree to disagree about the looks: when the Gen2 ST came out, my wife & I both said, "I guess we won't be buying another one of these!" LOL! If you can find an unabused Lightning (mid-'03 or later to get the upgrades that were put in place then), you have the advantage of an entire package that's designed for high performance: engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, etc., as upposed to overstressing components that weren't intended to handle the extra power. One disadvantage is that you can expect 14 MPG in moderate driving with the required premium gas. I don't know how that would compare with a supercharged ST. So that's one vote for the Lightning. :haveabeer: [/QUOTE]
