Vic BURNOUTS & KILLS !!!!! Are you getting TIRED of your Impala & 9C1 Caprice buddies telling you Crown Vics can't burn rubber ? Me too...well here are some graphics to clam them up this week. Check Paul's new Carlsbad #'s & Kills !

Mike's '99 Grand Marquis:

• Details: Mike "Chuck" Scannell in his 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis, 4.6L V8 OHC 16v, Front engine, rear drive. See more pics here (a GREAT burnout page!!!): Burn-Outs...Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em
  

Paul's -- '98 Crown "GT" Vic:

• Details: Burnout from POST- '98 CV to '99 GT head swap. PRE-new BFG Comp T/As. "i made a quick detour on my way to get new tires on the Vic. found a nice empty parking lot and "lit 'em up!" 30 seconds later, wifey snapped the pic as the cloud rose to 10000 feet! as she jumped in along with the toxic fumes, we hear sirens we make a run for it as two LAFD fire engines come rushing up. one I think tried to chase me but we were able to evade him through the cloud that stretched the length of the parking lot. about a block away, I rolled down the window to let all the smoke out, looked like the inside of the bluesmobile! "What burnout occifer *cough*" moral of the story? NEVER do a 30 second mondo burnout across the street from a fire station!"

Ken's -- '97 Police Interceptor:

• Details: In the 1st pic on the left, this riceboy guy in a 1998 4 door Honda civic 5-speed started mouthing off to Ken...(can you believe this sh*t?) calling him a "Cop Imposter", among other things & started taunting him to race. If you look closely, you can see Ken yelling something back, red-faced. Then pic 2, is the results of the race -- where's the '98 Honda ? Try 15 car-lengths back. =) Enjoy my fiction ? hee...hee...heee ! The REAL story in Ken's own words: "We found a great parking lot before I put my new Comp T/A HR4s on the car. Unfortunately it was a church. Wife snapped pictures and we fled. Moral of story is that firestone firehawks burn well and there is nothing like a real P71 interceptor!!"

Charlies' -- 2000 Dark Blue Crown Vic:

KILLS !!! Have you been kicking import azz lately ? What about run-ins with Chevy's, Mopars, or other Ford's ? Send me your evidence...Paul breaks this section in rather nicely with the pics below: check the new LT1 Impala SS & Civic kills.

Paul's -- '98 Crown "GT" Vic @ Carlsbad on September 02, 2000:

• Details: My car ran one 15.0, one 15.1, then a whole slew of consistent 15.2's with a spinning 2.3 60ft. The car is VERY consistent when traction is taken out of the equation, it runs 91MPH on all runs. With some stickier tires and cooler weather, I would have gotten a 14.9. They closed the freakin' track at 5:30PM at 75 degrees and the sun blazing. When does it start to get dark earlier? OK, now for some of the races I ran a 15.2@91mph the '93 or '94 9C1 running BFG DR's ran a 15.5@89mph. The guy couldn't believe what happened so he asked for a rematch. Turbovic smoked his bowtie ass again with an identical 15.2/15.5 run! HAHA I also smoked a Civic BAD, here are some pics. Editor's NOTE: Paul's current combo includes -- Full 99GT headswap including cams and intake, TransGo shift kit and rebuilt 99GT converter, ProM75mm with Optimizer, Steeda underdrive pullies, 70mm throttle body, IAT resistor box mod, Custom burned Superchip, Richmond 3.73 gears, '97 PI front and rear springs, Bilstein HD shocks, Bench seat cut into buckets, BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR's on 16" PI rims, Full 2000 PI black-out trim & hubcaps.

Paul's -- '98 Crown "GT" Vic @ Carlsbad:

• Details: Editor's Summary -- Paul was laughed at, he made a righteous KILL, the laughing stopped. Here is what my first race looked like. It was against a little rice boy and his "crew" who were laughing at "Granny's car". My wife told me she heard the driver say something along the lines of "I'm gunna smoke this foo!". Guess who was laughing at the finish line!
