NO offence, but it's kinda humorous reading about a SUPERCHARGED mustang owner getting scared while outrunning a Lincoln...
*LMAO*

be careful out there and make sure your car is prepared for triple digit speeds, especially if your gonna go PICKING on "Grandma's car".

{totally cracking up}

FYI: stock geared Lincoln Mark VIII's are still in second gear at 105 MPH.
SO for the last 3 years, I've been racing at the dragstrip.. I've done pretty well...
Funny thing is.. all my victories we're all done without the use of THIRD gear!

Now, I got 373's and it will shift to third before crossing the finish line... but it used to be really funny when I crossed the finish line, AND THEN...shifted to HIGH GEAR.

12 second cars, the Lincolns are NOT.. but with a few reasonable mods they can be "woke up".. and still get 27-28 MPH at freeway speeds.

Stay safe out there kids, and watch out for Grandma's car!
