I can only go off of experienced. Matt can chime in here any time, infact i think he drove the evo in that race. Chipped lightening vs. intake 05 evo: from stop Evo by far, from roll Evo (didn't expect it at all).

And i know that the only real mods i had on my gst when i beat this same evo fro ma roll was exhaust, intake, fuel pump, 14b on 18 lb's.

In conclusion that is why i feel a 14b'd eclipse can take a lightening.

+1

I mean it might have 380 or whatever HP but it also weighs at least 2000 pounds more, am i right? (4700 lbs)

Not downing lightnings but they have in my mind always been over rated as far as speed goes.

(Def a badass truck)

Edit: After doing some searching i found that there is an SVT which is the 500 bhp model and a "Lightning Rod" which is 380 bhp. I'm assuming we raced the Rod lol.

Heres a write up on a 2000 SVT Lightening saying it runs 14.6 stock
2000 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning Car Reviews - The Car Connection
Lightning Statistics

still trying to find an 04 writeup

Default Lightnings arent that fast.

My buddy had an 04 Lightning with full exhaust and boost @ 14lbs, I dont know what they are stock. Anyways, he only ran 12.7's with slicks.

thats impossible, gsxs are way too fast to even have a close race between anything else. you can beat him on low boost.
