Some punk in my Military history class wants to race me in his (dont know what year it is) Grand Marquis...He always talks smack about my ride yet he drives a grandpamobile....It has the 4.6L V8 and he thinks its the shitznit.....Ive repeatly told hiom his car is a boat and iam pretty confident i could win.....Can my V6 Mustang take on his Grandpamobile??

No.

haha no way man, the grand marquis (my mom has one) is pretty fast for a "boat" my 88 ltd crown vic had the 5.0l v8 302 and could easily beat the v6 stangs of the 00 era.

grampas ride is going to push your shit in

Rape is an understatement.

Especially with you driving, Mustang < Grand Marquis

Yeah they are pretty quick, My uncle that lives in PA has an 02 Crown Victoria(same thing) with a 4.6L and he always drives really fast, my other uncles ranger can't even keep up with it and the ranger is a low 16 truck.

The 5.0 crown vic's arent that slow either.

I'm assuming that you are hated aruond here so I'm with them...no

I'm assuming that you are hated aruond here so I'm with them...no
One again anouther understatement...hate.

no you wont win. and cmon you guys, give him a break. he messed up and we all know it. but teach him rather then talk about him. best way to get rid of ricers is knowledge

NO!! i refuse to believe that a 4000LB Boat can kill my 3100 LB Steed...230HP in a huge ass car wont do it any good......Victory is eminent

Victory is eminent
For him.

:rofl: Believe it son...Just race him, get beat, and know that there isn't anything you can do about it. That's what I always do. But look to the future when you get your GT and then challenge him again. But for now, take your losses as they come. I do, and it personally helps me to realize that I am much slower than I really think I am. L8...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :iceslolan yep you'll loose!!!

yeah you'll lose sorry bud, that's why we dont buy american v6 for racing

1995 Mercury Grand Marquis 0-60 8.4 secs 1/4 mile 16.3 secs not too bad for a 4k pound boat :grinyes: hell own u =)

Damn!!,I guess iam screwed....o'well I guess i will have to wait til i get my new car to extract revenge.....WE are gonna race tomorrow....wish me luck cuz im gonna need it

Good Luck then.

Anyone else remember R1-Rider's signature???? God i hope that happens...

Perhaps you should change the title of your post...as the person with the extra 2 cylinders hardly seems foolish now does he....

blah bench racing. maybe you should just post outcomes , vids or wait until you get that magic gt to actually say something.

man that must suck losing to about every car on the road

Magical GT..........Jayson=Hater

16.3??? My firechicken could take that. But if he's modified it.....forget it. Now the Lincoln Mark VIII's..there's a boat you don't mess with.

dude stop lieing to everyone, your not getting a GT.

I'm assuming your only 15 and have no idea what you're talking about

Im Actually 18, And why would i lie to everyone saying that iam going to get a GT...I could care less about getting respect here and if you dont believe that iam going to get one, then thats your problem,You cant expect me to get pics of a car that i havint even got yet so you guys have to believe me i swear to god that im getting one and i assure you that i will havy many pics

that new 05 v6 is can be upgraded to a 24v dohc and will be badass when thats done, so that wouldnt actually be a bad purchase for racing, but thats OT. i actually dont think he'll do that bad, unless he cant drive lol. idk how fast those grand marquis run the 1/4, but the 00 stang runs a mid 15, i was pretty sure that the 4.6 thunderbird ran a mid to low 15. it might actually be kinda close if he knows how to drive.

We've already been through this. Dont' brag. Once you have the car, just post pictures, don't make up crap, and you'll build your respect.

Im Actually 18,
No your not...
And why would i lie to everyone saying that iam going to get a GT...
Probally the same reason you would lie about turbo echos.
I could care less about getting respect here
Pretty obvious
and if you dont believe that iam going to get one, then thats your problem,
Oh no...
You cant expect me to get pics of a car that i havint even got yet so you guys have to believe me i swear to god that im getting one and i assure you that i will havy many pics
I just cant wait....

heh i didnt read the second page before posting... if his 00 stang is an auto and he can drive at all then he will beat the grand marquis, hands down. now if ur sayin hes gonna get owned cause u dont like him... lol then hes gonna lose.

oops i ment if its a manual, ifs its an auto hell probably lose lol.

his stang is a 98. lol, there goes all hope.

Nice job btw HighRev. Beat me to the job :thumbsup:

oh... i thought he had a newer one... my bad lol. well buddy u are screwed... bend over

NO!! i refuse to believe that a 4000LB Boat can kill my 3100 LB Steed...230HP in a huge ass car wont do it any good......Victory is eminent

150hp in a 3100lb car won't do you any good either :rolleyes:

his stang is a 98. lol, there goes all hope.

Nice job btw HighRev. Beat me to the job :thumbsup:
I had you in mind :smokin:

LOL BTW: Your sig =WTFness?

...wait..what were we talking about?

Okay, back on topic. Remember size isnt everything. The non-splitport 3.8L made 150-160HP. Then factor in drive train loss.. The NPI 4.6, which was used in Grand Marquis/Crown Vic up untill 99 or newer. Not quite sure. Anywho, 93-95 NPI 4.6's made 205 HP. Then some came with the optional dual exhaust, so give or take a few HP. 96's came with a better intake, giving them 5+ HP. Then add in the cars hefty curb weight. Then add in the granny gears... From a dig, the Marquis will defintaly keep up with you, or walk away from you. Probably the later, but still. From a roll, the Marquis should still be able to walk away from you. Notice..I didnt say run away from you.

Those Grand Marquis are actually pretty peppy. I had a '94 with 165K and trust me, that car could still fly good, especially from a roll (did 110+ on freeway EASY). It was slower off the line due to traction control being activated when the tires would spin.

They are indeed 205+ hp cars. The cop versions have a couple more ponies b/c dual exhaust, better rear-end gears (3.73) and limited slip diffs. They even make supercharger kits for them, can you say SLEEPER! They are also very comfortable cars that get great mileage, up to 28-30 mpg freeway. I know as I put 18K on mine last year.

They are an honest 16 flat car if tuned up well. That will keep up with its share of posers, and definitely will probably beat you!

Anyways, good luck on your kill or death, whichever goes down. Don't bore us with mustang pipe dreams. If you can't afford to buy one, start doing some research to build one.

I know I sure as hell can't afford a new car, so I bought a clapped-out one and am fixing it up. It isn't easy but my 10K dollar car will be faster and look just as good as your "mustang."

Cheers

yeah...they can fly damn well...especially when the brakes fail and you hit a high curb , trust ME

You never finished the story. What happened Igovert? I'm assuming that you didn't have to pay for it, because otherwise we would have heard about it. Plus, if the car was going to fail, the consequences would have been probably far greater if it happened while some grandpa was driving it.

Haha, I didn't even realize I never finished the story. Well here goes: They drug tested me an hour after the accident (I passed :thumbsup: ) and checked me out
They sent me home from work, and I returned the next day. A day or two later I got a really bad sinus infection (first of my life) and would get really bad incapacitating headaches and such off and on for a week) Now I don't know if it was from the chemicals/smoke from the airbag as some suspected...only problem for me was that I had 'faked a headache/sick' the day before the accident because my girlfriend had been visiting.
My boss had said get a doctor's note...I lied :uhoh: and said that I had gone, but forgot the note early the day of the accident...so when I really got the headache...I had to deal with it and go to work, and had pretty much shot myself in the foot for any sort of worker's comp or anything...but that was my own fault and I deserved it.

So over the next few days, everyone cracked jokes about my upcoming career as a stunt driver. I got a few letters from insurance companies with info on workers comp and stuff, which I pretty much ignored...and the 'official Ford' guys...well let's just say nobody ever heard anything about it. So basically, everyone is pretty sure that they didn't say anything in fear of me suing....but as we all know, I screwed myself over on that one...so yeah, nothing happened, except I am now a company legend :biggrin:

So every time I go back to visit while I'm back in town, and there are new employees, my manager will introduce me as "you remember hearing about that guy who got the mercury airborne and put those grooves in the concrete curb over there...this is him" :evillol:

lol that is pretty funny

damn!!

Cool. I would have still told them about the headache.

I would have to say you have a good chance of losing....there is a reason why cops drive those grampa mobiles and not mustangs :lol:

HOLY SHIT! ITS 209 NEON! HES COME BACK!

We never heard from Detroit. Guess it never happened. :rolleyes:

theres some gangsta cuban guy that has a grand marquis in my area (chrome reeems homie!), nobody talks to him cuz it looks like he'll fuck you up!

he prolly raced and dropped the soap to the grand marquis and just wont show his face

No, I think they were in the exotics category.

I think the only people that call them sports cars are insurance agents...

i like TypeS answer better... lol

Or maybe my wish of R1-Rider's old signature finally came true... nah... Im not that lucky..

Yeaaaaaaah boys i just raced him after school today and i took a Partial beating......He beat me by a couple lengths going from one stoplight but i mearly him whe we did a run from 30MPH, but he passed me steadily but slowly.....:(

a couple car lengths isnt a partial beating. A couple car lengths is like the difference of 1 second in the quater mile. YOu got owned.
