Here is my fleet.

2002 Mustang GT: Vortech supercharger, full exhaust, Bullitt brakes, mostly new suspension, bunch of other random bolt ons. Bought this in 2003, and don't ever plan on selling it. Only drive it on nice summer days.

2012 MKS: Unleashed tune, 3 bar MAP sensor. My daily driver.

2015 Explorer: Stock, but its the family cruiser so the wife usually drives it.

I remember when that 2002 was brand new... Where did the s197 go?
I traded the S197 a few months ago for the Lincoln. I was driving the S197 in the summer, a Blazer in the winter, and I was sick of having so many cars. So I sold the Blazer, and traded the S197.

I miss our weekly Bloomingdale meets from back in 2004ish!!

How well does the MKS hang with the Mustang?
MKS is pretty quick, but not really close to the Mustang. The Mustang went 12.6@112 back in 2005 before I had longtubes, Anderson power pipe, 3.73 gears, and a dyno tune. I've never taken it to the track since then with the new mods, but surely it would be a few ticks faster.

The Lincoln went 13.5@102 last night at GLD, but it was still on the base 93 tune from Unleashed. I already sent the datalogs in and got a revised tune, so it should be quicker next time around.

I'll have to get both to the track one of these nights and see what I can do.



You're posting a lot more on here Ryan. lol
Yeah...CMC is basically dead...lol.

Why didnt the mustang go to the track last night!??!

Either way, glad to have ya @ TCG! Nice rides! :h5:
Thanks! I had kind of given up on the drag strip for a long time (11 years)....just no longer cared about a fast quarter mile time.

When I bought the MKS though I wanted to tune it to get some extra power, and the tune I ordered comes very conservative, but has unlimited free revisions if I provide datalogs. Tuner asked for some 0-100 pulls, and I'm not quite as gutsy as I was back in the day, so I decided to go to the drag strip to get the datalogs instead of possible getting arrested. I had so much fun last night though that I do plan on going back this summer!

That Explorer Sport is nice.




But he lost his Troll card over here. :)
I'll build myself back up to troll of the year over here. Have to take my time though...can't come bursting out of the gates as a full blown troll!

Or maybe everyone is a troll here so he just naturally fits in.

Nice stable. Whats the deal with that tuned MKS? I know nothing of them.

Its basically a Ford Taurus SHO with a nicer interior and badged a Lincoln...same exact drivetrain. I actually preferred a Taurus SHO, but when I started looking at the used market, the MKS ecoboost actually loses value faster than the SHO and a comparable car can be had for a couple thousand less. Its a 365HP twin turbo v6 from the factory with AWD.

The MKS is an ecoboost, ya?
Sure is...and so is the Explorer Sport, same exact engine.
