Should I?

[NYC LS8]

I had an LS and got rid of it after two years and countless coil on plug swaps. Just sayin'.

Book value says its worth 11K.

Price seems right to me.

And its a 2004 LSE....hard to come by.

maybe i'm just used to the dirt cheap mark prices. :lol:

and idk why all the arguing.

4.6 vs 3.9 or 3.0.

2 doors vs 4 doors.

5 speed vs 4 speed.

from the 90s vs from the 00s.

they aren't the same car. some people need the extra doors. some people like the greater ability of modification with less custom work.

im 19. i like the big 2 door with the big v8. i dont need the other doors and i dont care about the new flashiness.

my mom has an LS. she likes the extra doors, the more refined ride, the newer inside tech.

different cars for different people.

I already have 2 stangs. I wanted a more classy hot rod. I don't really understand why your bashing mk8's so much. They are part of your family like a brother. You should save your hate for the rice. Plus ls/mk8 are apples and oranges to me 2 door/4 door. 4 door cars just not really high on the cool aspect.

Because i try to post in the mark section and give respect but the LS is bashed and beat to hell over there.

I dont really hate it at all.

Matter fact i love the way the black on black with saleen's genII's look.

I don't know how they can be that far off stock both 280HP. They should run very close times. Just wondering what a LS weight is. My mk8 was 4000 race ready with me in.

stock curb weight for an LS is 3700..with my sub box and me inside im over 4000 as well.

And from the very site you listed, just with a little spray this ls put down 13.3 http://www.dragtimes.com/Lincoln-LS-Timeslip-10957.html

I raced an 04 lse like 20 min ago on my way home from work it was a 40mph pull to 120mph, at 70mph I was looking in my rear view mirror
Smiling, he kept up from 40-70 though. But the 40mph downshift in a mark is barbaric and beastly

I smoked a mustang gt from a 40 roll awhile back.

looked like an 03-04 dont know if it was stock or not.

If reliability is important then keep the TB, if a sporty ride is important get the LS. If you live around snow and the TB is 4x4 then keep the TB. If you live where it's hot you'll love the A/C and the cooled seats in the LS.
