That is basically a Terminator's heart put in front of a stalled auto. Very effective.
You don't need a supercharger to go fast. GM already proved that with the Corvette. |
No biggie. Sleepers are out there. Track monsters are out there. What do I care if this sleeper can own a Z? There are 12-second minivans ffs!

If it's true that the Lincoln has 290hp base, then that would be an interesting race vs. a stock Z. With the Z's greater hp, I would expect the Z to win, but I guess it depends on torque and gear ratios more than hp (and, since the stock cars are actually close in perf, driver skill will come into play (imagine that!)). |

It was me that was in the white Z, Yes the Ford was quick, But I also Spun tires on launch and spun tires on the shift from 2nd to 3rd on that run and still managed a mid 13 sec pass... That Lincoln had drag radials or slicks I cant remember also it was about 40 deg out I couldnt launch the car like I wanted to I rolled off the line
cant remember what time the lincoln bested that day But mine was a 12.9 not sure if he beat that :) DAN |

This was also at Byron Dragway in Illinois on the 6th of Nov. This was one of my later runs, had a total of 15 or so, and like previously stated my best time was 12.9 with street tires on a very cold track :) DAN |

But when there's a large gap in performance between the two cars, driver skill becomes nearly irrelevant. |

What did it run in the Video,I couldnt make out the time?
DAN |
Something along the lines of high 10's.. 10.9xx
|
10.96 @ 122.87.

Ha thanks, I was trying to watch it on my iPhone, Yes he should have beat me It was a full out Drag car there was a lot done to it. You cant really compair the two cars due to how highly modified the Lincoln was. Not really trying to make excuses about it, but for what stuff I have done to my car and running a 12.9 there really isnt anyone who should be dogging me about that especially with the track conditions that day.
DAN |
I don't think anyone is dogging you at all. You ran well. If anything the OP should be dogged becuase you don't go to a test & tune to race, you go to run!
