Your worst nightmare...
Just killed a Lincoln LS, really not much of a comp.

I hate posting these kind of kills but today I was on my way to a friends house, actually the guy that is building me an intercooler. I was taking the southern state and all of a sudden I see this Lincoln LS flying up my behind, I am always up for action!!, so I play dead and let him catch up to me, traffic cleared up and I let him line up right next to me, as soon as he lines up I floor it and so does he. All I could see was his headlights 10 cars back or 20 or 30, can't recall. Like I said no competition but some guys just really under estimate the MB cars, I guess he thought it must have been an E320 or less....

Good kill... yeah Lincoln owners think they are fast.

Another vehicle who owners think they are quick are the 300C series, especially the SRT. My brother out run one of those in his Mustang

I always sort of liked the looks of the LS, but when I got a chance to drive the 8-cylinder, it felt like a dog. I couldn't even break traction with the gas floored and the wheels turned.
