7.3 seconds is honestly respectful considering the mass, weight and power numbers of this beast.

[@jehadhjaya2767]

strange thing is that the Mercury Marauder with a power of 302 horsepower and a gear ratio of 3:55 accelerates from 0 - 60mph in 7.5 seconds, compared to a town car that reaches the same speed in 7.3 seconds, even though the town car weighs more than 2 tons and has a gear ratio of 3:27. Something is definitely wrong

[@lucascarreviews]

@@jehadhjaya2767 Yeah lol

[@legioner9]

Lincoln Town Car is the symbol of the classic big sedan. They look really nice. Here in Europe they immediately turn heads. I particularly liked the 2011 Lincoln Town Car, exactly the one in the video review from saabkyle04, back in 2011. Man, that car looked very pretty.

[@jehadhjaya2767]

A good car, but the bad thing is that it has a V8 4.6L 239hp _ 224hp and a 4-speed transmission that is slow compared to the Nissan Altima V6 3.5 with 288 hp. They should have added a 5 or 6 speed transmission with at least 290 hp and a new suspension system that was missing.

[@legioner9]

@@jehadhjaya2767 Good point. It is still a very reliable heavy-duty car, but as you said, it lacks a bit of extra power and 1 gear. Even so, it is not slow at all if it can reach 60 mph in like 7+ seconds.

[@BoloH.]

I've tried to find an affordable Crown Vic, which is pretty much the same car, but as soon as it is shipped to Europe its price has doubled or tripled.

[@danielpassigmailcom]

@@BoloH. Oof, best of luck.

I have had the chance to buy a Lincoln Town car 2006 in my country: Chile, South America. There are very few of these cars here, actually, mine was imported to Chile in 2015 from TX, USA. This car is a head turner. Most people think that it is an older car than it really is.

[@adguildford]

Wow a 5.0 V8 with 150bhp 😂😂😂

[@kellyoubrejr544]

Technology, such an old engine plus it was a cruiser and reliable so it was kinda purposely underpowered.

[@redrobin41]

Do keep in mind that was still a malaise era smog motor. Once they're deleted they can make some pretty alright power considering the overall age of the 302.

[@spindedark]

Also 15 seconds to 60 hahaha, i've owned 2 peugeots with a 1.1 litre and both were faster to 60.

[@sandragoveia8293]

@@spindedark bruh but a peugeot is less reliable than a rx8

[@spindedark]

@@sandragoveia8293 don't say anything if you have no idea what you're talking about. It was a Peugeot 106 and 205 cabriolet, both cars are extremely reliable and require very little maintenance. Ofcourse everything that ends with a 7 or higher is shit but those old Peugeots are very good.

[@neilouellette3004]

Awesome video @Redline Acceleration! I only buy Town Cars and Grand "Park Lane" Marquis for the last 27 years. Never had a problem or breakdowns in all these 27 years. Well?? I've done a couple intake manifolds as with every longtime Town Car & Grand Marquis owners. Maybe a couple of sets of ignition coils also but these count as maintenance free tune-ups. Great video!

[@martz0r]

LOL I stumbled on this video thru a google search of my handle. Thanks for the cred! That 97 Sig Limited is long gone but I enjoyed her when I had her.

[@ИдётДождек]

1:05 And the sound from the 90s remained!

[@LITTLE1994]

Got to remember the old school 5.0L Windsor engines had a lot of smog equipment to tone down their power significantly. Once all that is removed, they can take off.

[@Tracert-mc1hu]

And there's plenty of bolt on mustang parts for it as well.

[@Luna_AlmondSF]

Is it just me or does the 2003-2005 linc's look a little different than the 2006-2011 linc's? It's probably because my linc is a 2007 with a facelift, that's I often see the other lincolns with more of a square or edged face.

[@averyparticularsetofskills]

Ive had every one except the _early_ 3rd gen (never liked that one for a few reasons) driving them feels a good bit faster than they really are.

[@cantstanddogs4776]

Yep,,, that's why I don't understand why people think crown vics with the same engine are so quick,, they just aren't

[@thekorean8342]

@@cantstanddogs4776 I had a friend with a vic that pulled a bunch of parts of a scrap 4.6 mustang and had it tuned. Got it close to the stang for pretty cheap

[@danielpassigmailcom]

@@cantstanddogs4776 Crown Vic weighed 500lbs less than the Town Car with same engine and trans and made a bit more HP than the TC

His town car isn't running right or hes at higher elevation mine does 0-60 in 11 seconds

[@infernoking7504]

I personally own a 1988 Lincoln town car its not fast but its been 3 years ive owned this im 22 and Ive had no issues all it asks for is gas and oil changes what more can you want one time I got 26mpg average over 330 miles.

[@iliketowncars]

Damn good video, very enjoyable

[@averyparticularsetofskills]

😂That 2nd gen clip CLEARLY looks like its in a TC that joint was up & down like the Titanic™ Im actually impressed the driver didnt 🤢 throw TF up

[@sbon3g]

7s is great man for the weight of the vehicle amazing keep it up 👍👍

[@laszlovona]

Hmm how on earth can these cruiseships do 7sec 0-100 with only 240hp?🙄 I bet they are over 2tons. impressive acceleration.

[@salt1733]

4,500 lbs. Drove one for 8 years, ton of fun, and feel a lot faster than they are.

[@laszlovona]

@@salt1733that is exactly 2 tons. Very impressive performance, even on the video 👍 I bet that the huge displacement engine with the loads of torque kicks hard when in the driver seat.

[@salt1733]

@@laszlovona Just re-affirming :). Yeah, first gear pulled like a mustang and the following gears were a bit of a disappointment as a result, but it would climb the speedo anytime you put your foot down.

[@jehadhjaya2767]

​@@salt1733 But what prevents engineers from increasing the power of the car engine to more than 300 horsepower or even adding a new engine to a car such as the 5.4-liter Navigator engine? Don't forget that the Lincoln Town Car V8 weighs about 2 tons and produces only 220 horsepower and a slow 4-speed transmission!!! You know that the power of this engine is very modest compared to the weight of this huge car. They just had to bump up the engine power to 315hp, put in a five-speed transmission and improve the suspension and rear axle to be maneuverable and cornering and have access to power, torque and high speeds just in case they were needed.

[@uscruiser]

@@jehadhjaya2767 I think, they just don't want to put money in such an old platform. Remember, the average Town Car-buyer was old people or limousine services. In the 2000's Lincoln also introduced cars like the MKZ or the MKS, last one was also a big car (around 5.2 meters of lenght if I'm right), and those were avaible with 3.5 EcoBoost and over 300 hp. Also SUV's became wanted, so theres no need to put money in an old car like the Town Car. Same thing happend to it's sibling Mercury Grand Marquis and Ford Crown Victoria.

[@michaelcrozier5178]

Takes real engineering talent to get show low power from such big engines 🤔

[@twoeightythreez]

Show me one other car of that era at the same price point as a Town Car that offered the same combination of size, V8 power, durability, and economical operation. The low output is because they tuned for broad powerbands and decent fuel economy (for the displacement). Must take real intellect to blindly bash something based on a peak output number.

[@Monster404ftp]

So I see you don't know jack shit about smog equipment and its impact on V8 engines.

[@jehadhjaya2767]

My 1.3 16v 87hp engine makes 0-60 in 10 seconds This fucking gas guzzler V8 makes it in 15. What the hell?

[@infernoking7504]

Does you're car weight 5329 pounds? Also they are much better on gas than the old continentals for example my 1988 Lincoln town car gets 23 mpg on the highway with a tail wind pushing it at 65 mph also my car does 0-60 in 11 seconds. If you want a gas guzzler get a ford big block 460.

@@infernoking7504 people seem to forget about smog/egr remove that shit put a carb on it or tune it easy 220 and up.

[@smellmyballs2693]

It must have been unbelievably depressing buying new cars in the 70s and 80s after the muscle era of the 60s. 150hp out of a 5.0 V8 is beyond pathetic absolutely dog shit

[@johnlambert4756]

Something must wrong with the first one because i have an 84 Cartier and 0-60 in roughly 9 seconds.

[@BabyBugBug]

150hp from a V8? Yikes!

[@mten1454]

Engines in the 1980s all over there world, but particularly in the US, were hampered by emissions equipment. Terrible performers, but reliable nonetheless.

[@legioner9]

150 hp is a decent figure. And many cars back in the day in the same class as the town car had less than 150 hp, albeit not from V8. Even so, you had Mercedes with 70, 80, 90 hp. And none of them were bad cars, the Lincoln Town Car included.

[@ss-qw4bw]

The real power of this engine is 270 horsepower

[@mten1454]

@@ss-qw4bw no, it’s not. No Panther platform ever had more than 250hp except for the Marauder, which used a 32v Cobra motor

[@ss-qw4bw]

@@mten1454 without emission equipment? It is strange that the V8 5.0 engine produces only 150 horsepower, it must be at least 250 horsepower, and the modular engine must be 290 horsepower to match the high torque of this engine, and so it is supposed to be V8 4.6 290 hp = 393 nm V8 5.0 302 240 hp = 366 nm
