no...i tried it again twice, both times chirped...

You have a manual or automatic?

LS8 only come w/ auto's. I was in SST mode with traction control Off

I've done it in my '04 with traction control off using SST

Just another ordinary drive in the Mark VIII... even in 3rd.

Hahahaha

The fact that your car chirps second doesn't necessarily mean much. There's a lot of variables that go into that scenario. Available traction, tire type/size/inflation, vehicle load, ambient temp, trans temp, engine temp etc, etc, etc.

shift kits, drilled valve bodies, sticky tires...

Your right, Katshot, doesn't mean much just cuz you chirp 2nd, might be a broken valve spring. LOL

You still gotta love the whip lashin' from it tho, still fun ! :woowoo2:

I don't chirp second. Put I can keep the wheels spining all the way through first from a stand still. I don't like it. But it is kinda cool seeing the rpm go up so fast and then change gears into second. That just puts you in your seat and my girl going, whoa. . .

I only tried it(did it) once. It was neat to see that it can be done - but I perfer not to treat my lincoln that way.
And StraDog - didn't the Mark VIII have a much bigger engine?

Cobra wannabe motor. I do not sit and do burnouts. For the fact I do not like to treat my Lincoln like that, also!

I do it from time to time when I feel like playing. With my car, it's pretty easy to smoke 'em up at will (and that's with 255/55-17 tires on a 4500lb. car). Burns right through the 1-2 shift and then catchs traction. Unfortunately, it tends to bog at that point since road speed is rather low compared to what it SHOULD be.

I can chirp 2nd in my bigass slow diesel pickup.

Actually is the FIRST Cobra Motor and , to my understanding, isn't your VII nitrous equipped...?
I'm treating my Lincoln better than you are ! :)
:joke

Nitrous Yes, But I heard they make them safer no days. . .
