Super jelly. I’ve been eye fucking those for a couple years now...would love it to commute with, but if I got a job downtown, wouldn’t want that commute with it, just piling on the miles.
They're cheap now. I turned in my lease we had on a Continental for the MKZ because I wanted something smaller and couldn't believe the prices/depreciation that had hit but that's par for the course on Lincolns.
Top end is stronger. Some of the fusion sport guys have started to swap the 3.0 turbos over and have made it to the 12.3-12.4 range.
The MKZ is over 500-700lbs heavier than the Fusion I believe which helps the Fusion move out a lil faster down low.
Unless I have my info wrong the difference between the two isn't that much. C&D shows the MKZ at around 4300 lbs and the Fusion at 4100 lbs. I would think the 400hq/400tq at the crank is enough to overcome that difference and more. From what I've seen the MKZ normally traps stock about 4-6 mph higher. Some guys on the forums were pulling 13.0s @ 107 without mods. 93 tune supposedly adds around 55hp actual (per livernois dyno) so if I didn't see mid 12's around 110 it would be disappointing.
Pretty slick they can swap the turbos, didn't know that was possible. I know there's a couple other differences between the two like cylinder bore, block material, etc... Pretty easy to get cheap power out of these platforms though.
These things are a great bargain at their current prices.
