How fast are these things? Theres a guy at work who has one, we might run them down the turnpike sometime. What should I expect?:lala:

 

Here are some specs on the car. Hope that helps.


Horsepower : 280 hp @ 4000 rpm
Torque : 286 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Redline : unknown

Top speed : 140 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 6.5 sec.
0-¼ mile : 14.9 sec @ 95.0 mph
60-0 braking distance : 130 ft.

 

well, hopefully I wont have a problem then. Ill keep you posted.

Thanks for the reply.

 

That 0-60 isnt to bad, arnt those cars pretty big?

 

Their about the size of a middle size BMW or Mercedes. RWD and packing either the V6 or V8. If you have a good running 350, you should win.

 

I've been considering a Lincoln LS as a new car. I plan on trading the Mark VIII in for one.

Anyway i've driven a few of them and am a member of the LS message boards. www.llsoc.com

The 00-02 LS is only 252HP and comes automatic only with a 3.9L V8. It's a dog. They run about 15.5 @ 92MPH in the 1/4 mile. They do handle the ***** though for a 3800 pound car.

The new '03's get 280HP out of a N/A 3.9L which is pretty damn impressive (considering the early LT1's got about 270HP out of 5.7L ) They are a bit faster and some guys have gotten 14.9's out of them.

But they are pimp cars. I really enjoy driving them. They handle very well and there is a supercharger being developed for them
