Awesome, I finally posted your vid lol. If I recall, you told me about the 13.0, and I wasn't there? Maybe I'll catch ya back out breaking into the 12s!
Looking at picking one of these up actually. A 2017 with the V6 and awd. But no driver's package which is what I'm sure you have. So mine would lack the torque dampening trans. Also no tune. But that could be fixed of course haha.
Man, I still love this video. I bought this car for 22,000 from a dealer. In addition to these drag pulls, I also used it during the pandemic to do around 14k miles in Lyft premium and black label rides. I then sold it for more then I paid. A true hidden gem!
True definition of a sleeper. Most people would never expect for a midsize Lincoln sedan to pack a 400 horsepower twin-turbo engine and all-wheel drive 😱.
Just bought the reserve 60 k new and it’s my favorite car yet !!! Just made the list Lincoln’s fastest car right down to my year and all. 2017 mkz 3.0 awd
I bought one of these in September last year its fun and snappy. For those that don't know there is a 50hp difference between the fwd and awd. The suspension is adjustable from extra floaty, normal, stiff(sport). The sport setting is almost as rough as my 01 ss.🍻
Everybody is fast Durango weighs over five thousand pounds u people sound like the other people who own a Kia stinger can beat everyone like mustangs not true
Picked up a 2017 3.0T AWD with every option a month back and am loving it. It was $29k with 41k miles in very good condition but not flawless. It's the blue color with the black and white interior. It has the drivers package with torque vectoring and I don't notice too strange of handling. Where it just slams you is from about a 20 mph roll when it downshifts just as the power kicks in. Otherwise it is fast off the line but you can feel it roll into the power, holding some back. Maybe the tune would cure that "nanny" off the line. I know when one of the first magazines tested this car the Lincoln guys had swapped some serious summer tires for the test and it ran quite a bit quicker than the later tests on stock tires.
@@rbr4115 so far it hasn't cost a dime. Deep down it's just a Ford Fusion, nothing exotic. Standard inexpensive Ford parts and normal Ford labor rates would be expected if it did have any problems. I know one thing to look forward to is unlike the 2.7 EcoBoost it is based on, it doesn't have both direct injection and port injection to keep the intake valves clean. It just has the direct injection which will soon or later require an intake valve cleaning like any other car with just direct injection.
@@theshield1613 the 3.7 is actually a very good engine. I don’t know where the hell you’re getting your misinformed information at. What exactly is terrible about it besides the water pump design? Extremely reliable for very high mileage with little to no maintenance. 300 hp V6 as well.. I have one.
Man them Lincoln's are a sleeper... I got a 2013 Lincoln MKS eco boost. I had it tuned and put different exhaust cause it was way to fast to be so quiet. It really quick to be so heavy the awd is great. It reminds me of a q37 my cousin had.
One of these days I will decide my mkz isn't my daily and throw in one of those electric turbos with a capacitor bank. I have always wondered what the old 3.8 natural ones could do with a turbo.
@@ZACH_95_ Indeed it is, especially if you have the drivers package, and a tune. I imagine it would be even faster if it had the same engine from the s h o. It's slightly smaller at 3.0 versus 3.5L.
@@ZACH_95_ Just learned this myself, about the lighter weight, and higher HP. Hope these catch on like SHOs have. SHOs have WAY exceeded my expectations at the drag strip. Guessing these should be very comparable, with times a bit faster
That thing was really moving for a twin turbo v6! Just imagine if it was a twin turbo V8! I believe they still offer a V8 with those cars I'm not sure? I have a 1969 Ford LTD with a 429 motor , drop a twin turbo 429 in there see what happens if it fits:)
I'm actually planning to get an MKZ someday sooner or later but it's going to be a hybrid LOL but I'm going to get one with self parking and radar cruise control should be awesome I test drove one and they're pretty incredible! It's like the car wants to drive itself:)
Nice runs. I just bought a 2017 AWD 3.0t Reserve. With the pano roof and every bell and whistle this car is a pig. With a half tank of fuel it was 4410 lbs on a certified CAT scale. Even still I ran a 13.4 at 105 in good conditions. Stock torque management makes it hard to get a good launch
@@DragRacingandCarStuff Yeah from the dyno numbers I'm seeing it looks like they are underrating the torque a bit. Numbers are more like 400 hp and 450 tq. Livernoise and a couple others are around 330-340 rwhp and consistently close to 400 rwtq. Did you guys do a stock run by chance?
I have the 2.0t AWD i know it's not the quickest out there but I'm wondering if anything can be done to boost it's performance... lags a little bit off the launch and obviously isn't nearly as bossy as the one in this video 😂 starting to wish I would have spent the extra cash for the 3.0t

This is pretty respectable for what I always thought was a slow luxury sedan , guess I was really wrong

I wonder what that guy did to it. I want one now
Oh Lord, I love my Lincoln MKZ
Some of the best camera angles close UPS you did a wonderful job.
Thank you, I appreciate that
I'm looking to buy that Lincoln with a few miles on it. How has it worked out for you. Maintenance wise?
I have a 2019 MKZ Reserve 3T. Let me tell ya this thing can move!
Exhaust & a 93 octane tune would really wake this thing up even more

Just found out about this car today I’m absolutely obsessed
I have a 3.7L i would take the turbo forsure tho. Mine has crazy accelerate off the line as well
are the 3.0s ALL AWD?
No some are fwd and awd. Fwd has 350 hp and awd has 400hp
LOw 14 on that MUstang? Something went wrong. Maybe it was a rebadged ecoboost 4 banger?
“Dad, can I borrow the Lincoln?”
Later…
“Son, you only put 5 miles on it!”
I have this Lincoln mkz and very nice
Missed opportunity for Lincoln not making rear wheel drive cars
I wish they'd make one with the new Explorer ST drivetrain.
What modal cadillac was that
Owned one a few years back and definitely a sleeper. I found it best to launch in 2nd as I found 1st cut power I guess to save awd system.
