Lincoln LS vs 07 V6?
 

Hey guys. (First post, I know...Don't shoot me:D) There's this kid at work that always talks **** about how his (2004?) V8 LS will kick my ass and it's getting really old. I figure it'd be close, but I think I could edge him out...What do you think?

Him: STOCK V8 LS (Down to the tires/wheels), subs in the trunk.
Me: 07 V6 Mustang, 3.73 gears.

By the way, I'm really not buying the fact that he runs a high 14 in that car (That's what he says anyways)...:eek: 280hp/286tq at 3755lbs vs 210hp/240tq at 3300-3400lbs? What do you guys think? Thanks.

the LS will win stock for stock, your 3.73's might give you a chance if you can drive but the edge is still going to the LS

I have a 2005 V8 lincoln LS and I ran a 14.7 @ 98MPH

heres my timeslip

I have also raced my friends 2004 GT with flowmasters, an X pipe and a CAI

we went 40-120 and heres how it went down

the 03+ LS's are not to be underestimated when you have a stockish 4.0L.. or a stockish 4.6L 2V for that matter

Thanks for the reply Morbid...I remember seeing that you had an LS, so I hoped that you'd reply:D

What's the difference between the pre-2003 and 2003+ LS models? I'm not quite sure what year it is, so that's why I ask. Thanks again!

U def need more mods to take one down, gears are a good start though, a t-lock, a branspeed or evoulution cai/tune combo will net u great power too. I say race him from a dig and dont mess up ur launch goo luck

RE: Lincoln LS vs 07 V6?
 

the pre 03 models as a downfall did not have VVT and as a result only made around 250BHP... but as a plus they had a fly by wire throttle body... those are the only two significant things

starting in 03 they got VVT and an electronic throttle body giving them 280BHP and a frusterating ETB lag

Alright. Learn something new every day :)

And I forgot, there's a t-lok in there, lol. Got an 8.8 and swapped it in. Duh.

Thanks for the quick answers guys. I guess I'll have to see what happens if this ever goes down!

RE: Lincoln LS vs 07 V6?
 

After you get the CAI/Tune you will have this by 2-3 tenths but still be down 1 or 1.5mph.

RE: Lincoln LS vs 07 V6?
 

depends on if you can drive or not. but since the ls in an auto, all he has to do is mash it. id say hed still win.

RE: Lincoln LS vs 07 V6?
 

damn you hit that time with a 2.4 60'

I raced one when I only had an intake and canned Diablosport tune. He got the jump on me from a 40 roll and I had trouble pulling him back in. In the end, I wasn't able to because there wasn't enough road. He jumped out about a car and a half, and I was only able to pull him back to my fender before I had to shut down.

As Morbid said, they're not to be underestimated. You might have him off the line, but it will be very difficult once you're rolling.
