Post A bit OT, but still neat :-)

I just finished building this car for a customer of mine. It's a 98 Lincoln LSC did I did a custom Vortech install on. The car also has 3.73s, custom exhaust (but with stock tips, heh heh), and a few other "tweaks". I will be custom tuning the combo on the dyno in the next few weeks, but it's fast enough that I beat a brand new C5 Vette, a Porsche Boxter, and a 69 396 Chevelle, all in one day . It sounds wicked and is a blast to drive. Only thing you have to shut the traction control off everytime you start it up I know some of you guys are into these cars, and I know the Wyldman will like it because of his project 4V T-bird he's doing.

Nice job Sal:

Don't think I would want to change the plugs on that beastie too often.
Cool shots with the snow/ice still on the windshield.

Sal,

What kind of intake are you using on that setup? It is shorter than even the one I got for mine and looks like it would have fewer hood clearance issues.

Cool setup and I'd really like to see dome times soon!

Chuck, that's a stock 97-98 Mark 8 intake. It's different from the 93-96 style with the rear entry throttle body.

Bill, you are aware that Testors makes a NON-toxic hobby glue, right? I think that you might just be seeing some sun glare in the one shot, because it was sunny and 70 degrees out that day.
