on my way to the gym, we lined up on m5, the road was empty and as soon as it turned green we both went at it, i got the jump in him and held him off till the end of 2nd gear then at like 75 mph he inched past me and my bumper was at the back of his front wheels

those things are pretty quick



















oh yea


i was in my dads gs300:P

i wish i was in my car, i woulda put bus lengths on him

 

really?!?! a Lincoln LS? wow.. are those V8? did team mclaren make the modded lincoln LS yet?

 

Whew i was gonna say in your CL it'd be damn hard to lose to an LS.

Could u tell what year it was? The newer ones got a HP boost.

 

Yea I was about to say, wha? I hit it at a light with one in my 3.0CL and he coudn't get by me enough to pass before the lanes shifted down to one.

 

i was gonna say...

 

This past summer I was crusin @ OC, MD and I just took off easy from a light and I could hear a new LS to my left screaming next to me. I punched it and caught him, stayed beside him then punched it again and dusted him. He had an astonished look on his face

 

there is a v6 version of the ls and a v8 version...the v8 does 0-60 in 6.5 stock.

 

it was an older model, the newer ones are a bit quicker

 

I was scared there for a second !! The new 8 has close to 280 H.P. so it's no slouch.

 

No slouch but they are not that fast for a V8. No comparison to the Lexus, Benz, or BMW V8s. I'd say acura but oh wait...we have no V8! Well, no match for our V6!

 

yes but they are HEAVY!

 

I was gonna get an 03 lincoln LS V8 when i was searchin for a new car 2 months ago. the ONLY reason i didn't get it was because it was RWD. if it was FWD or AWD i woulda been all over it. it was pretty damn fast and it shocked me how well it handled. woulda loved to pimp one of those

 

i would take a RWD over a FWD anyday! they handle sooo much better

 

Not in the snow.

 

there actually pretty fast you put up a good fight

 

it hardly ever snows up here in seattle bro.. heh heh

 

True.

For a V8, they aren't shit. I was going to buy one before the CLS...I was on a sedan kick coming off the Maxima...

Drove the 6 & 8, was not impressed...seemed very cramped inside and they depreciate like a lead brick.

 

linoln ls' break down like crazy, they have so much problems, my friend had one and it was lemoned after 1 year

 

Nice death for the GS 3.

 

Marc S is in PA tho. :P

I was just pointing out his decision may have been b/c of driving conditions, not b/c he didn't think RWD was pimp.

 

The GS300 is SO underpowered; nothing like the GS400/430 or even the Aristo!!

But I feel like you today, darrin; I was @ stoplight next to a newer Caddy Deville (some aged guido @ the wheel with his girl/wife next to him). Light turns green and were both rolling HARD but he begins to pull some carlengths on me and then swung into my lane (in front of me). Of course, I was driving my 2000 Nissan Quest @ the time. My dawg (2002 Maxima SE) would have have blown the doors off his Deville with little effort.

(by far, it seems like more folks pick with me when I'm rollin in the minivan than the Max.)

 

hahaha.. thats gotta suck.. lol...

 

The V8 LS at least the new 2003 ones are pretty much dead even with an Auto CLS, maybe a few tenths of a second slower.
6.4 seconds to 60 for the new ones.

 

I've got SO many deaths with the minivan that it drives me batty!!! .

 

the one i raced was the 2000-2002 model, over half a seconed slower
