    V-10 Grand Marquis

    Saw this in the recent issue of hot rod magazine. This car ran during Drag Week. The article says that almost won the daily driver 12.0 class. Car was a V-10 truck engine with a pair of turbos. They also use the car as a daily driver.
    Owned by Tara & Sean Flink, Spring Hills, KS, '95 Mercury Grand Marquis
    Power Combo:Stock 6.8L V-10 from a super duty truck boosted with a pair of remote-mounted turbos. Even the 40-pound injectors are stock. It makes 420hp to the tires by way of a stock Mercury trans and an 8.8 rear with 3.55s.
    Best ET & MPG: 11.82 at 115 mph

          I think this is the V10 GM that a KC area LM service manager owned a few years back. He sold it to one of the techs there. If it is the same car, they must have added the turbos fairly recently because the one I'm thinking of was running high-12's at the track last year (female driver - pretty cool!).
