    John

    I've been hanging around a webiste called goDragRacing.com and there is a luxo ride set to kill.

    Maybe some good rivally will come from it.

    Its a Lincoln Mark 8, Set up similar to your new Rivy, it appears to be a single turbo V8.

    Any how heres a link to the thread, btw I already mentioned your Rivy:grin:

    Got to love those "luxury rides". Looking at the inside of the MK8, I see lots of weight. Carpets, full dash, and a variety of other stuff. Maybe we will cross paths one day. 6's on 10.5 tires is scary. Hope it works out for him. Thanks for the PR.

    Is this a new car? It looks just like the car Bob Guerratuega(sp?) raced back in 1993-1994 at the old Fastest Street Car Shootouts. This is back when they gave out the Top 10 jackets in Memphis. He won a jacket with this car. He was from the Chicago area. It had a big inch nitrous Ford motor at the time.

    I honestly can't answer that, I just ran across the board he is on
    and found his thread on it yesterday.

    What I do know is he (the owner of the Lincoln) stated that he use to work for TurboTune when they where in their prime, misses the buzzin half dozen.

    I also do recall something about a drag Lincoln from some Outlaw class type running...just can't remember where.

    BTW nice write up on your Buick in the mag, got that article hanging on my offical "BUICK" wall in my office.:TU:

    Thanks Chris!

    That was a great experience. I didn't think I ever had a chance getting my car in a magazine. I've owned it for over 16 years now. It was my first car.
