Boy did I underestimate that thought.
Last weekend, SVO was kidknapped by XLRVIII and Tripany and hauled off to Houston and was gone for about 24 hours
, returning at some 1:30am. The next morning sitting in the driveway was this:
Now I have seen XLRVIII and Tripany's cars, and even gone for a ride, though they never showed me the potential of their vehicles.
So, SVO had explained to me that this innocent looking Grandma car was powered by the Intec 32v 4.6 which was to become the Cobra motor in 1996, didn't think much of it till I went for a ride with him 8O
So now here's the problem, as he squeezed the gas to the floor at about 50mph it down shifted and started peeling tires, and rocketed to 100mph in no time flat, then somewhere at about 105mph it shifted out of 2nd into 3rd and kept on pulling like there was no tomorrow
:
This is a problem
Seeing as we both have the same rear gear ratio, I am starting to feel a little threatened, as this car stock was 280hp (290 for the LSC), but this car is no longer stock, and he's now telling me as soon as the 4.56 gears show up for the Navajo the 3.73's are coming out and going in the Lincoln.
Coincidentally, this car has been named by the previous owner (Tripany) as the Grey Ghost, and mine being named the Reaper, a dark thing is going on over here.
Not only that but the driveway is now full! (and he's been offered a free black 91 fox coupe with no drivetrain, can you see where this is going?
: )
So I guess I'm gonna have to start taking some of my monies and looking into getting a KB Blower to keep his new daily driver at bay and keep my title of the fastest car in the family, I can't let him take over my title, silly old man needs to go back to driving slow like he did in his Flareside
:
Just for some background on this car, it happened to be the most winningest sponsored Lincoln in the US, Now Tripany has bought another one and has just about paid it off with her winnings.
