Got a chance to run against a Lincoln LS-V8 tonight (around 11:30pm, freeway no one around). We started out around 70mph, I was in 3rd and hit it to see if he wanted to run, he did. He was on my back bumper, the whole way, maybe inched up a little until 110mph. I shut it down as we were approaching other vehicles. We did it again (once again no one around), started at 70 mph, up to 120mph, dead even. I would have liked to run from a standstill, but he exited. Oh well, it was fun. Still debating on those headers???

 

I think the V8 would have gotten you top end

 

Nice run. I like those cars.

 

Get headers and you will own that LS V8.

 

There are two V-8's on the LS. The ones made before '03 had only 250 hp. The ones after '03 had 280 hp.

 

The LS V8 is electronically governed at 132mph.

 

There's not as fast as I thought they'd be. I raced one in my previous car, '93 SHO 5spd(220hp) and neither of us gained on each other from 75-110. He had a custom grill and tips, not sure what he had done under the hood but it was an LSE V8 badge on the back.

 

They're not blazing fast in a straight line, but their handling is unreal. Find some twisties and he would leave you in the dust. Their handling is ranked up their with the 540s.

 

Good kill
