Update on "The Law" 5.3 turbo Crown Vic:

http://www.lsxtv.com/news/breaking-the- ... crown-vic/

The 182,000 mile Suburban engine finally gave up the ghost right after a hard launch, spitting piston and rod remains all over the track, leaving The Law broken. “I don’t know if it was the miles, or the 22.5 PSI and 18-degrees of timing that killed it,

Fucking guy. Way too much timing for 22 psi unless E85 or meth. Sloppy said so.

Did you guys talk to him? Is he selling it for $500.

[kevm14]

I talked to him Friday before leaving. No current plans to sell the car.

We can just do my Caprice instead.

[Adam]

That sounds way better. Except for the (potential) rust.

[kevm14]

It's probably fine for a Sloppy Caprice. And I don't need to run 10s. In fact trapping 120-125 will be PLENTY fast for me.

I could always grab the "LS" from the Grand Marquis LS badge and stick it on my Caprice. Actually GM probably has LS badges I could use so nevermind.

[Adam]

Have you put a new engine in your Caprice yet?

[kevm14]

No, I need to lube the front end. That could take tens of minutes.
