Interesting, I was a lightning owner too!
Welcome to the boards. You will enjoy your E55 just as much, if not more. I know I have. But I do miss the insane whine of my JLP tuned Lightning

I had my Lightning back in 01 and sold it in late 03. I had everything but a built block, and it showed when I popped a rod out of the block at the track.

Are you guys running built blocks now with the Magnum Power supercharger? Everyone was putting Manley H-Rods to help beef up the internals and adding Kenne Bells when I left the Lightning scene. I plan to buy one back just for pure nostalgia and the ability to haul some things when I need it.

I didn't know there were so many previous lightning owners on here, I used to own 2 true blue ones, (dark blue) only came out in 2002. One was modded to hell, the other was stock, welcome!
