I used to have a 95 Mark VIII. Those things go cheap now. Some 4.10 gears and a nitrous bottle turns those 32 valve engines loose!
Do you want to buy a newish car or a project car?
My son had his 04 GT Mustang worked on at the Mustang shop on Long Island (4.10 gears, subframe connectors, long tube headers, dyno tune). The owner has an old ugly Mustang with a built 302 with supercharger. He takes on the $100,000 cars around NYC with that. The suspension is also built to race on a road course.

 

The "God d**n" at the end makes that video

Wheelstands like that just break stuff, it's stupid, but also very badass

 

why is it that on some quarter mile videos some people remove a headlight or two? this SUV doesn't have headlights..

 

I think more air to the intake

 

Yea more air or on some turbocharged cars like supras the cut a hole in the headlight and run an intake through the light directly to the turbo

 

They came with 5.0's...

Couple grand and you have 450 to the wheels.

 

Right, but the stock 5.0 from that era was pathetic. Even the LX model with throttle body FI wasn't very powerful.

 

Yup. I see jerry rigged intake setups that run bendy pipe to the hole created by the headlight removal.

 

Lincoln Mark VIII. I Have one and it was pretty damn fast stock, could only imagine with a supercharger, ive held on to this car for a few years after some ******* slammed a deer and threw it in my lane and never stopped. Gonna fix it back up one day, And no Patrick im not selling the motor

Pics of when i bought it




and the way it is now

 

i had mine to 130 cruising about 3/4 throttle, i knew it had more

 

That would be a B6 series S4. It was powered by the 4.2L V8. They are quick from the factory but are crazy expensive to get big power from. On the other hand the B5 (2000-2002) with the 2.7L twin turbo motor is much more mod friendly. If you look hard you can find a clean one for around $8000 or so. They will do 0-60 in 5.8s bone stock. A tune and little bit of exhaust work will have you putting low-mid 300HP to all 4 tires at all speeds. Ditch the factory K03s for bigger twins or one great big single turbo and the power numbers can get stupid. Another option would be to get a A6 from the same era. They have the exact same motor and quattro system but do not command near the premium.


This one is mine.

 

And? Every car people have mentioned in here will require mods.

It is retarded easy to get a 87-93 5.0 to make 450 to the ground. Used aftermarket heads $600 or less, used intake 100ish, used blower setup(with fuel upgrades) $1000 or less, exhaust system $500, misc other upgrades $1000.

Under 4k+car you can have a reliable 450rwhp in a under 3400lb car no one would think is fast. AKA a sleeper. Slap on some sticky tires and run 10's.

 

Not necessarily.

 

For 11s yes

 

in the 1992 - 1994 time, there was a guy in houston that had a early 80's caprice, rummor was it was a small block built to run n02 and this guy cleaned peoples clock, word was it was a mid 11' car. no big cam or loud exhaust.

to me a fox body with a blower is not a sleeper, cars are notorious for being fast and the wine of the s/c will give it away. at a stop light good luck getting a fox body with 450 rwhp to hook. sure if you do a massive burnout, but then the sleeper thing is gone.

in todays world the ultimate sleepers are the guys in 3/4 ton, 4x4 trucks that go 10's. that is a surprise for anyone in a zr1 or gt500, thats a redneck goodtime

if i can hear a big cam or the wine of a supercharger, to me it is not a sleeper.
