was comming home from work and decided to take the strip home just to see what was up. herd of a accident and wanted to see it and it lincon that sounded mean as hell pulled put of a mcdonalds parking lot i ingore him and he catches me about few hundered yards down. so i kinda speed up not sounding my engine from 40 to 44 to show if he wants some?? well he pulls up next to me and i hear him hit it right after i do. thing was so loud i thought my ears were gona break.
what amazed me i was smacking him down . its all power to weight guess.
talked to the guy about it. nice car. he has a freind with a 1967 2+2 mustang with 120k miles 289(stock) expect for a exhaust. im gona run him next week.
grow up... and stop the BS! im not even going to begin to explain why that is not possible. unless im misunderstanding what smacking him down means, im assuming your saying you beat him. get real dude.
They did have alot of low end tourque, but that also means that the car has troubles in the higher end and higher speeds. Stating at about 45 might of put AK at an advantage. THose cars where boats though
i owned a 66 oldmobile dynamic 88 coupe. it was as big as a continental. it had a 425 big block called "the super rocket" engine. it came out of the factory with almost the same Hp as its cubic inches. other guys would try and race me such as: civic Si, cavalier z24's, mustang fox bodies, etc. nothing came close to keeping up with me! there is no way on gods green earth that your reno/ forenza even gives my olds or that lincoln a run worth bragging about. please stop guys! its getting rediculous what you think these cars are capable stock, with maybe some bolt ons! just stop! your not beating any V8!
Well there is no way you would beat that 67 goat I had, and it was stock..
Yesterday my daughter got froggy in her reno coming back from the dealer after getting her paint fixed (new car but had a nasty gouge in it. Fixed it under paint warranty) We are getting on 71 south and I hear my phone beep and hear "Catch Me"..Silly girl..we were doing all of 10mph and she hits it..now I have a 2000 passat and its chipped (1bar boost). When I went to 2nd I was about to rub that new paint off her bumper..3rd gear and pass her and when I grabbed 4th im at 105 mph and she is about 50 yds behind me and the distance is rapidly increasing like she is standing still. She swears she held it to the floor and was at 80 when she merged onto 71 ( I merged at 90 ) Needless to say the reno aint no rocket ship, my passat is quick but would have got "ate up" by that goat I once owned.
Giving the Linc 5500 lbs and 350 HP comes in at 15.018 secs (1/4 mile) at 93.502 mph
Giving the Reno 2700 lbs and 140 HP (Int. Exh. Pulley) comes in at 15.821 secs at 87.925 mph
It's not an impossibility that he beat the Linc. Improbable, yes, impossible, no. Rhyno, you have to stop reading this board. You're going to have an aneurysm.
Upon further googling, seems the original 65 Linc had a 430 that put out 320hp and weighed 5700.
Entering these new numbers, and you get 15.505 secs at 90.048 mph
Puts the two REAL close....
Now if indeed the car had a 454 swap and was pumping out 500hp, then there was no chance. But against an original 65 Linc with the 430? It's a .3 second difference.

So much for the almighty V8........
Once again, the V8 is used in a realy heavy car. Amazing how that happens.
you guys are really crazy you know that? your reno is not a 15 sec car..lol! someone show me slips from the track with there reno! my friends svt focus was stock running low 15's.. and your talkin 170 or more HP 6 speed! i never wanted to do this but here it is... "sigh"... you praise your cars that are cheap no name garbage! yes i like the renos styling, but its still a fukin suzuki guys! you will not beat a single v8 with a stock reno! you dont seem to read what i wrote my oldsmobile was HUGE! i was beating cav z24's, civic SI's, and plenty of other higher end stock sporty tuners. all of these cars which would dust your dam suzukis i beat with ease! im 25 years old, im not bragging about beating them, they started the races and i just wound up being the winner.. im not lookin for bragging rights here! you guys are really suffering from the delusions that your suzuki is great cause its gearing! news flash, unless the car has restrictors on it, all newer model cars are geared roughly about the same. what makes you think that suzuki is the only car in the compact car class to have good gearing... you think, mitsu,dodge,nissan, etc, dont gear there cars as good if not better then a suzuki? you guys seriously gotta see where im coming from, im not tryin to put your cars down, but instead bring you back to the cold hard harsh reality that suzuki is not some diamond in the rough care maker. they are affordable, stylish, and well equipped for under 13,500 for base! no more guys this site is really getting rediculous!
