ecoboost times

[MachME]

The new Lincoln MKS, weighs 4400 lbs, ran 13.9 at 104mph and the Ford Flex (the suv thing) ran 14.5 at 99mph.

This is stock on 87 octane.

What will exhuast, 91, tune with some more boost do? :banana:

I think the SHO will be a mid-13 second car.

I think the SHO will be a mid-13 second car.

for starters:dancenana:

I think the SHO will be a mid-13 second car.

Ya, from what i have saw it is the same as the mks, just some better handling stuff and a little more power...

Those are some pretty impressive numbers. Can't wait to see what the Taurus SHO will run.

 

[Fox-4]

They are running them on 87?

 

[SID297]

They are running them on 87?

The SHO is supposed to have 365hp.

The 6.2L Raptor is looking at 500hp, instead of the ~400hp/400lb-ft that had been talked about. Don't know the torque on the 6.2L though.

the sho i believe will be a couple hundred lbs lighter than the mks. so yes the time should be slightly better. whats the weight of the brick(flex)? i think someone said around 5k. is that right? good numbers if thats correct!

on a side note..i love that MKS, the front end of that car looks pissed

The cars don't need anything but 87 octane thanks to direct injection.

I also don't think they will need 91 when the boost is upped since fuel is introduced a split second before the spark.

It'll be interesting to see how these things react to mods.

That is very impressive!

direct injection is awesome..new technology that makes me feel my car is so out-dated

 

[MachME]

I like the MKZ better, smaller and better looking imo.

The one thing i havent saw mentioned, is Ford still putting air ride in these new Lincolns?

Also, these cars have front mount intercoolers, so im sure that will be a good upgrade too.

yea, it is. but dont worry, so is mine :lol1:

 

[LeddZepp8687]

13.9!?!?!

That is not bad considering size of the vehicle and such.

Im sure the new SHO with a couple more #s of boost and a tune could see a high twelve second pass at that rate.

The ecoboost engine is underrated..

Thats pretty sweet! Def cant wait to see what the new SHO runs.
