I had a '00 LS V8 that was bone stock and I ran 15.4 at I think 90 or 91 mph.

You could try this site. http://www.fordcds.com/ The Helm manual is the best way to go, but it's expensive. I have relied on the Ford CD for my Taurus and my Lincoln LS and Mustang before that, and it's always been a PITA. It doesn't have enough pics and it sucks to have to run inside, wash...

Most people say to use electrical contact cleaner because it won't leave a residue, but I always use carb cleaner for cleaning Ford MAFs. I get much better results with it, and I've never seen any indication of it leaving a residue.

I had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on my 2000 LS V8 and I loved them. I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle GT-HRs and I hated them. Terrible fuel economy and lesser performance in all areas. My Charger has the Pilot HX MXM4s and they're great. I am definately sold on Michelin Pilots and...

I saw this and thought I'd post. I owned a 2000 Lincoln LS V8 that I traded on my Charger, which is an R/T with the performance package. It has 350 HP. My best track time with my LS was 15.4xx at I think 93 mph. I was VERY pleased with that time. Every other run I made in that car was at...

When I ordered my Charger, I asked what they'd give me on trade-in for my LS. They told me $5000 (this is for a 2000 LS V8 last August), so I tried selling it myself. When my Charger finally came in, I had not sold the Lincoln yet, but all of a sudden they were willing to give me $9300 for it...

Where is the love?

Ah. I see the new ones are rated at 18/25, while the older ones were 17/23.

It's not the worst of all cars, and it's not rated at 13. The 300C is rated at 17/25, which is better than a V8 LS.

My LS had 16" wheels. That makes a big difference, you should try it if you want to give the LS one last chance.

I have owned (logically) both. I traded my 2000 Lincoln LS V8 in for my new 2006 Dodge Charger R/T, which is mechanically identical to a 300C. The 300 is much larger inside (and outside) than the Lincoln, and has a much bigger trunk. The 300C is much faster than the V8 LS. In fact, if you...

I put 35,000 miles on my 2000 LS while I had it, and the gas mileage computer was never right one time. It was always 10-15% high.

Cool survey. I voted for, among other things, RWD and the V8. I seriously doubt that will affect anything, but I bet they will pay attention to what people say they want for lighting and options.

Sorry to see you're selling. What are you replacing it with? Why are you selling? Best of luck.

What were your 60' times like? That's a great 1/8 mile time in a '00, kills my 10.044 I ran on my best-ever 15.4 1/4 mile run. Good job.
