steve142857 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Not too difficult... Am I the only one that has a tuned MKT? lol Anyways, only mod is LMS stage 4+, that's it. It was the opening day at the Napierville dragway and since my SHO is not yet ready, I decided to baptize my wife's 2010 EB MKT. Temperature was close to 50F, little tailwind (about 5mph) and DA was at an advantageous -750ft! Very good conditions! It still did better than expected. I started the day with a bad launch (2.25s for 60') and did a 13.97s. Then hit the track right after and did a better launch (2.08) and ended the 1/4 mile in 13.54s. at 102.99mph. I waited a bit and went back, still lower at 13.41... Then waited more and all my next runs were in the 13.3's around 103+mph. My best run has been: 13.341 seconds at 103.27mph with a 60' of 2.022 seconds. (I did a run of 13.35 with a 60' of 1.998 seconds). Backed up with : 13.346 at 103.05 13.359 at 103.23 13.359 at 102.93 13.388 at 103.10 13.394 at 103.25 So I am very pleased with the results. Thanks again Livernois! BTW, I was racing a stock Jeep SRT8 that was running 13.1-13.2's and I was cutting better lights, but very close races! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sho Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 What does that beast weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 What does that beast weigh? I didn't weight it before the race, but it states a curb weight of 2,241 kg which is 4,930lbs without driver! I removed the spare tire and had less than a quarter fuel tank... So, my guess is that with me in, my weight at the track was about 5,000lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Steve, you crack me up pal...... Good runs all factors considered. I can only imagine you will continue to improve on those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulford8 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 You know that MKT has been growing on me, considering it when I pay the SHO off. NOW because your a sick MAN I need to find something else.... If I got one I would want to copy you.... It would be a cool sleeper, but next car I buy is NOT for modding!!!!!!

BIGFOOT Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 nice man! im one of the few that really like the MKT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I was launching at around 2000 rpm with traction control off. It was spinning, but compared to most other cars, it was gripping not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpfarrell Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'm loving the Hot Rod Lincoln theme. Now I really can't wait to get mine to the track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Is it modded gpfarrell? 13.3 to beat my friend. You will enjoy (as I have) the surprised looks of the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpfarrell Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is it modded gpfarrell?13.3 to beat my friend. You will enjoy (as I have) the surprised looks of the others! Mine is an MKS... 4+ and Eibachs. I think I migh have an unfair weight advantage... Although if my car's quickest turns out to be a 13.3 I'd still be pleased.

steve142857 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 What do you mean by weight advantage? Is it because of my panoramic roof? Can you please post a picture with eibach? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodave Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Nice runs Steve. Now I know what the potential is for mine if I decide to throw a tune at it!! You're close on the weight. I had mine weighed at the track last fall and with 1/2 tank of gas it weighed 4980, without me in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
