Goddard-MarkVIII May 8th, 2008, 11:56 PM Was watchin this show on Speed the other day called Pass Time and saw this stock black on black Lincoln Mark VIII probably 94 run a 15.73 everyone on the panel is suppose to guys what they think it'll run this girl said something like 13 this nerdy guy with glasses said 15 and this other dude said 17.8 or some crap...pretty funny seein a mark on speed now gonna see it in some more magazines these cars are sick...
jbird97 May 9th, 2008, 01:19 AM Yea, I've seen that too before. Too bad it didn't run more of an average time instead of that slow time it ran.
Rich88LSC May 9th, 2008, 08:18 AM Yea, I've seen that too before. Too bad it didn't run more of an average time instead of that slow time it ran.
Better for the sleeper effect if everone thinks it runs high 15s :gr_devil:
jbird97 May 9th, 2008, 10:49 AM True
mespock May 9th, 2008, 12:38 PM Bummer only 15.7...
98LSC32V May 9th, 2008, 02:16 PM It probably got a really bad launch.
XLRVIII May 9th, 2008, 02:34 PM It probably got a really bad launch.
yea, and was probably fighting the traction control past the 60 foot clocks.
-1 for traction control
jbird97 May 10th, 2008, 02:19 PM Thats the first thing I turn off whenever I get in the car, its habit anymore..
Goddard-MarkVIII May 10th, 2008, 05:47 PM You can turn that off?
Rich88LSC May 10th, 2008, 08:20 PM You can turn that off?
Yeah. I cant think of exactly how right now. Check the manual
GMANjr May 10th, 2008, 10:01 PM Yeah. I cant think of exactly how right now. Check the manual
Yea, there's a button for it near the cig. lighter. I turn it off when i want to spin my tires in the rain. :p
The Rev May 10th, 2008, 10:10 PM Yea, there's a button for it near the cig. lighter. I turn it off when i want to spin my tires in the rain. :p
Only in the rain?
GMANjr May 10th, 2008, 10:18 PM Only in the rain?
Mostly in the rain. I dont do it as much when its dry out. Conservative.;)
Rich88LSC May 10th, 2008, 11:30 PM Yea, there's a button for it near the cig. lighter. I turn it off when i want to spin my tires in the rain. :p
Gen 2s are different. You have to go through the message center. Without going out to the car I cant remember what buttons you push.
NYC LS8 May 10th, 2008, 11:36 PM That car must've been a heap. Everyone knows they go 14.6 stock!!!
:p
jbird97 May 11th, 2008, 12:18 AM In a gen 2 its the left most message center button, like the driver options and vehicle options? Its the one on the very left, push that once, then push reset. Traction Control is off.
Actually I'm not too sure about which button, its one of the ones on the very left. Push and if tc comes up in the message center then hit reset
96hotrodlincoln May 11th, 2008, 12:32 AM Press Vehicle Options until it says Traction Control On and press Reset
chickenviii May 11th, 2008, 09:24 AM it seems like everything on that show is slow as hell, i saw a kid with a cobra (terminator i think) with a KB on there run a mid 15 or something, i dont get it

:p
Mine did, have the slip to prove it.

KB Terminator is a SOLID 10 second car. Depending on which KB blower 9's aren't out of the question. That kid was probably some person who didn't know how to drive the car worth a damn and left the stocker tires on. Man he could have ran solid 1/8th run and coasted to a better ET than that.

thats what i figured, mostly dumb punk kids with mustangs on the episode i saw
jbird97 May 11th, 2008, 09:30 PM I think I saw a stock Terminator run a 14.69 on that show. I know it was that time, just don't remember if it was stock or not.
slickemhoundd May 12th, 2008, 11:12 PM what i like is on spikes whacked out sports the one episode where they had this stunt driving school with only mark viii's t-birds and cougars and they were all sloppy sideways and doing donuts around this little skinny chick.
Goddard-MarkVIII May 13th, 2008, 01:37 AM haha that does sound sick
