Rode in my budd's 91 eagle talon this past sunday and WOW!!!!!! the power that just comes out of the turbo's is WOW!!!!!!! ran a newer porshe( not sure if it was turbo or not) but the talon opened a ca of woopazz on that porshe...............the sound that turbo makes...makes me wannnn:eek:

im sorry to hear that you think a talon is :eek:

Yeah, they're much more moddable/tunable than N/A cars. But....:rolleyes: They are still..........:shifty: GAY!

haha 4 cyl right? wow... impressive!

i'd still take a lincoln anyday

hey wilson your car is fast right, you should race my friends stock Mazda MX-6 only mod is a T fitting from ace hardware, 4 cylinder so it should be fair lol

I hate listening to you guys slam on the 4 cylinders, so sheltered all of you are.

wilson, heres a pic of what the car looks like but on his he has primer flames on the hood and 17 inch bronze rims.

I have a friend that has a 4 door hatchback version of that and its pretty much stock and it screams along pretty well too. I think they run 15.0ish stock.

any thing done to your buddys, my friends is stock and could tear the shlt out of mrs wilsons car

I have owned both a 1988 thunderbird turbo coupe and a very rare 1985.5 mustang SVO as well as a 1986 mustang SVO. All 2.3 liter 4 clyinder turbos. They are fun however too much $$$ to make them fast! Then when you do make them fast things always break on them! I liked them cause they were somewhat rare and FORD products. Imports suck! A lot of folks don't bbelive it when a mark VIII smokes them! You can only force so much air into a four banger before it pops.

Oh, I will agree with one thing though, turbos are awsome! Think about though, a 4 banger cost so much to build up verus simply bolting on a supercharger onto a v-8. Put a turbo set up on a v-8! A guy here in vegas builds custom turbo systems for mainly fords. He specializes in lightnings and stangs. He is currently building a modular v-10 turbo set up for his lightning. It's going to be bad ass!

Yeah, they're much more moddable/tunable than N/A cars. But....:rolleyes: They are still..........:shifty: GAY!


car runns.. low 11's and is pushing over 400hp.........

any thing done to your buddys, my friends is stock and could tear the shlt out of mrs wilsons car

I think he has a ported turbo manifold, some sort of way to increase the boost as well as fuel mods to support the increase in boost pressure. I think it ran 15.0ish and it was having a lot of issues with a boost leak, I think it could be a low 14 sec car on a good day.

car runns.. low 11's and is pushing over 400hp.........

low 11's with 400hp? i dun think so.

any thing done to your buddys, my friends is stock and could tear the shlt out of mrs wilsons car

your kidding right?

and...its mr...not mrs.

low 11's with 400hp? i dun think so.

AWD + Turbo + 2600 pounds = think so

car runns.. low 11's and is pushing over 400hp.........
doh! is that a line from the fast and the furious? I doubt it buddy! It would run 9's with funkin over 400 hp. Those cars are like milk cartons....They weigh less than 2700 lbs. I know a guy with a car that weighs about the same and its FWD and runs low 12's with 275 hp....Add the AWD and however much more HP....

yea everyone knows some one with some miraculous talon or civic that runs 8's.. Those stickers and wing add atleast 50 hp.. get serious

ive owned a civic with a b16 fitted w. a T3 it was cool but the sound of my stihl trimmer in my ears all day along with looking at an interior that looks like it was made with recycled coke bottles... kinda something u grow outta like suckin on ur mom's titt... ps those numbers are tottally whack.. I guess if you cant impress them with your intellect, baffle them with your bullsh*t...

According to one of teh online performance calculators, a 2800lb vehicle, with 400HP, going through the traps at 8000RPM would do a 10.6 quarter. Add AWD and a top end charge, 11's are very much possible. Why do some of you always raise the BS flag, without doing research. All you end up doing is putting your own intellect or lack of into question.

i'd still take a lincoln...

i'd still take a lincoln...

INDEED

much like a LINCOLN MARK VIII having 740hp only running 11's. you say that is b.s. .. well i guess i dont know what im saying then?:shifty:

Old people from the muscle car era always bash on 4 cylinders/6 cylinder ricers just because the 4 cyl/6cyls from there day werent as advanced as these ones... my dad is one of those people it was hilarious watching fast and the furious with him "THERES NO WAY THAT CAR COULD KEEP UP WITH THAT CHARGER THIS IS SO FAKE!" and in the second one "THERES NO WAY THAT CAR COULD EVEN COME CLOSE TO THAT CHALLENGER!!!" (Talking about a skyline lmao) I only dislike ricers because only about 0.4% of them are fast all the rest are people with 240's who have been going to drop an SR20 into them for years :rolleyes:

Guess what.....Im 16 so im not an "old" person. I bash on 4 cylinders because they're gay and cant handle any horsepower for more than 5 or 6 runs down the track. I have an sr20 car sitting in my drive way. An infiniti G20....The biggest piece of crap in the world!

I never said SR's were fast i said every single kid with a 240 says he is going to drop one in it... http://www.herlihyracing.com/ministocks.html LoL Does anyone believe this list?

Yeah, They take those motors and throw them into dirt cars. A very cheap way to put some power in your dirt car.

To each his own... Ricers can be made to look awesome on the outside... atleast some of them but the inside where you will be looking at there isnt much you can do lol hence why i like the beautiful interior of my mark :-D

I have never seen a 400 hp DSM in the low 11s. Low 12s, high 11s at best.

AWD does not help the top end. It reduces it.

My moms 03 lesabre has 800hp at the wheels on the swapped GNX engine i put in it! it runs 9's.

Your mom is cool but your not :-P

Uhhhhh............Yeah mr. wilson, you should stop while youre ahead.

your kidding right?

and...its mr...not mrs.

Listen lady, you run what 14.8s on a good day and if you make it to the track with out over heating, right. my friend ran a 14.7 with 14 pounds of boost and dumped it at 2000 rpm and his car broke an axle second run when he dumped it at 3200 its an old car so no big deal. You should run him, you will really learn that your ol mighty lincoln does not indeed own the road

LOL at this thread.

I hope to god that people on this damn site start to learn exactly what MarkofDeath just stated. The Lincoln Mark VIII is not God's gift to mankind and it is not fast in anything near stock form. That being said, some more respect is due the cars with less displacement than ours.

my lincoln was made with tools not chop sticks!

Here is a good read. North America's Fastest Production Cars (http://www.autofacts.ca/classics/fast.htm) this list does include Ricers and Euro exotics. There is nothing like American Muscle.

By no means are Lincoln Mark VIIIs Gods gift to cars or street racing. But they do like to get up and boogie.

Just remember they are over 4000 pounds. It takes a lot of force to get them going off the line. Once in motion inertia is on your side. That's why they are great from 40 mph on.

Can you make them fast sure can with lots of cash. Remember what you can put on a Mustang can basically go on a Mark VIII. This is another thing that makes them fun. You can mod the hell out of a Mark VIII, and what sucks about an LS... very few mods.

A Ricer with a turbo is going to eat up most Mark VIIIs but most Ricers don't have turbos and many Ricers who do have turbos, have killed them not knowing how to take care of the engine after running the turbo.

We have Mark VIII's because for the dollar it's a lot of ponies, and a lot of style for very little money.

Cool site... jebus 10.5 stock?

Now that i look at it though some of these are bs lol like the Ram SRT-10 running a 13.1? I have driven one and they wouldn't even come close to 13.1 my dads AWD 300C would run with it and that thing is like a high13/low 14 car... the truck weighs 8000 pounds!

I don't remember anyone saying that Mark VIII's or any Lincoln for that matter is the do all end all of performance cars. (With the exception of "Hey Mr. Wilson) But I do believe that we can all agree that we love our Lincolns.(Again With the exception of "Hey Mr. Wilson) Most of us bought them because we wanted a mix of performance and class. I have owned many cars, some stock, most modified. Some foreign, most American. But, by a hugh margin, with the exception of a very highly modified 1970 Olds 442, I have to pick my Lincolns as the best cars that I have ever owned. And Mr. Wilson, I am not ready to throw in the towel just because I as a driver do not know how to treat my vehicle. I run my Lincoln hard, but unlike you, I do not beat my car and then try to blame the car. If my car breaks, you can bet your azz, that I probably did something stupid.(Which you have admitted to on numerous occasions) You show your level of intelligence when you simply state that if a car is foreign, it is junk. Just like you show your level of intelligence (or lack thereof) when you make statements like "
low 11's with 400hp? i dun think so" Face it, with the mods that you have done to your car, you should be in the very low 14's. You aren't. Please stop trying to ridicule others when your lack of knowledge is so plainly apparent. This is not an attempt to bash "Mr. Wilson", it's just that he makes it so easy to use him as an example.

Oh, and my the way, my dad can beat up your dad. So childish.

1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 W-30 455 V8 370 13.88 95.84 CC

buford your 442 ran faster than a 13.8 stock didnt it? you had to be low 13's/ real high 12's right?

my lincoln was made with tools not chop sticks!

OMFG my soda is everywhere now.... that was awsome!

Oh, and my the way, my dad can beat up your dad. So childish.

u forgot the other one...

"i know u are, but what am i?"

:p

I do not know what it ran when I had it. I blew the orininal motor in the first month after i got it. Found a wrecked Olds Delta 88 Police Pursuit Interceptor in some little hillbilly town in West Vriginia and built the engine from that to put in it. 13.5 to 1's, Crane Fireball, Holley 1100 double pumper, 1/2 fuel lines with electrics, fuel cell in the trunk. Took it to US 30 Drag strip, bolted on a set of slicks and proceded to pull the biggest wheely I have ever done, twisted the body so hard that it popped the windshield. Shut it down and was told by the track officials to not bring it back without a full cage. I did not have the heart to cut it for a cage, so I just did some street racing. Only ever beaten once, by a Ford Fairlane with a big block and a blower. Awesome car. My friend still has the car. He is on the 11th transmission. Still runs strong. He only brings it out once or twice a year during the HotRod events in York, PA.

Now if that didn't give you a hardon! Another plus for RWD!!!

why did u give it up? got pics?

Got rid of the car for the same stupid reason that most of us do, got married and had other priorities. Now I have my priorities straight. My 5 year old son, my cars, my job, and if I have any time left, woman.

This thread is ghey! OK a bunch of lincoln guys bashing lincolns now? I dont get it.....If your gunna be like that, take it to some other forum that supports cars built with chop stix;) !

dont be mad markviii93 just cuase most ricer can beat your car, but hey as long as your look styling loosing:shifty:

I don't see anyone in here bashing Lincolns. Hell, I have three of them. All I am saying is that when you bash others rides just because they do not drive what you drive, then you show your lack of intelligence. I drive Lincolns because I choose to drive Lincolns. Not because I think that all other cars are junk. I give all cars the respect that they and their drivers are due. But I can tell you from experience that I have seen a lot of great cars from other manufacturers. The "Lincoln is best, and all other cars suck" mentality is getting old. Especially from infantile little boys who wouldn't know a class car if it bit them in the ass.

You shouldnt talk about people that you know nothing about them personally.

I never mentioned anyone by name, with the exception of Mr. Lincoln, and then only as an example. DOn't take it personally, as it was not meant to be a personal attack on anyone. I am just pointing out some facts and expressing some opinions. If you fit the mold, and want to take it personally, then so be it. My intent is not to offend, but to point out how offensive and infantile statements about other people and their cars are. You do not see me on this board saying this car or that car is no good because it is not like the car I drive. What we drive is a personal decision. This thread started off as someone stating that he was in a friends turbo and thought it was awesome. Then a bunch of hard core die hard Lincoln fanatics pounced all over him about liking a ricer. Then I am accused of Lincoln Bashing. I Love my Lincolns. Don't see me on here saying I want to sell my car because it overheated after I beat the crap out of it. Grow up.

It's not hard to make a tin can fast. That being said, my old "tin can" 82 RX7 ran well into the 13's with just a MazdaTrix exaust and a shot if nitrous. The car only weighed 2350 with no one in it. I was tempted to do a rotary swap in my old Datsun 210, I don't even think it weighed 2,000 lbs. Of course now that I am older I prefer my Lincoln for the ride and quality, it's one of the reasons I sold my Fox Mustang a few months back.

Folks - I need everyone to take a step back. This thread was about TURBOCHARGERS.

Ive had a few posts reported from this thread already. I havent deleted them because I really HATE deleting threads. So im asking all of you to tone down the wording a little bit.

Please dont use phrases like THAT IS GAY - I know that you dont mean it to be, but phrases like that are offensive to those who actually are gay. (and out of 6000 members im sure more then a few LVC members are gay)

Beyond that - just be friendly to each other. :)

why in hell does every say the lincoln is heavier then 4000 pounds, my car is 3650-3770

It's not hard to make a tin can fast.

This is the point. You can make anything go fast. I've been looking for the video that was posted of that Minni Van blowing away the Camaro at the track or what ever the car was it was up against.

You can make a Mark VIII fast. You an make anything fast.

Nobody is dissing the Mark VIII or any Lincoln, otherwise we wouldn't drive them.

Mine weighed 4236 with me in it, I was around 300 at the time, gas was about 3/4 tank.

I gotta have my V8:cool:
