These things aren't built for speed by any means, but say you leave it in 4 going on the freeway once you pass ~2,500 revs it feels like its got turbo kicking in lol

My Lincoln used to fall on its face after 3000rpm. it shifted at 4000rpm too. 99% of the time when driving you barely cracked 2000rpm. lol

I usually shift around 1,500 for efficiency purposes. If I remember correctly its got 285 HP to it, so its got a fair bit of power even at lower speeds.

I'm intrigued to see how the Pentastars quality is overtime, I've heard very good things about these engines.

I also have heard great things about this engine. Its a much better version than the previous engines used in these vehicles. The fuel efficiency is much better too. Muricaaaaaaaaa, just beating on my ol' pushrod V8 Sounds nice!!! |

Few goodies for my babe this past 2 weeks... First, a set of rare 16" HPP package Crown Vic rims. These were available on the 1993-2002 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis if ordered with the HPP(High Performance Package) which included a 3.27 rear end, dual exhaust, rear air ride suspension, automatic climate control, digital dash and these alloys.  I also got tint done, 15% on the front doors and 5% limo tint on the rear doors, rear window and windsheild brow..looks sexy. I also put in my purple LED interior lights in place of the red ones I had. It looks awesome. I also got orangey-red LED turn signal bulbs too which look great with the HIDs   |

Some may know, Im a HUGE train fanatic. So after work this morning I saw a freight train waiting at the local yard, and about 3 miles down the track is a crossover(double track mainline) so obviously it was waiting for a train to pass so it could cross over to the other track..so I waited at the station...Hoping it was another freight train, it was just a Via train..still made a cool pic though.  |
