as a Lincoln LS owner. one thing i can tell you is, never under estimate this car, it weighs less then a Mustang, makes good power, and handles like a dream.
I just bought a 2002 and thought it was gonna be a pain in the ass and I was totally wrong, she does exactly what I want her to do when I want her to do it, she is great
@@ohethean8475 ..so..pretty much like your GF does for moi..
:p
i have 2 lincoln ls v8s a 2002 and an 2003 what did u guys do to get both tires to spin welded what again
@@traaviswilkes2784 the rear differential
A newedge mustang which is the same era as the Lincoln ls weights less lol
Shawty done hit the meanest roll back I ever seen in an LS
This is sick. It was awesome seeing your facial expression change the second you went into driving mode. Loved watching you race in ARX at mid ohio and can't wait to see what else you do!
These things are really interesting, especially because the motor is a Jaguar motor and it has 50/50 weight distribution. I's actually kinda insane.
Don't forget it was Motor Trends Car of the year in 2000,it handled better then a 5 series BMW and they made 2300 of them with a 6 speed manual
just bought one of these today for my “winter beater” lmao, seeing this makes me feel less sad about putting my 24 valve away for winter
1st car I ever drifted. My buddy taught me on his.
I want to buy one. Very classy car!
I've always loved the Lincoln/bmw look of the LS
Well it was designed by BMW
Great vid! Loved the episode. You make a good hosting team! The a/c bit makes for a funny bit. Would of loved to have a few spec on the car, just basic stuff, maybe for the next one!
This is too funny! That A/C homemade air flo tho
Awesome, grandma car rules!!!!!
I have a '01 LS 8 sport black on black. Love the car needs some engine work now but refuse to get rid of it. There are some nice examples on youtube of fixed up ones. Sad to see this one tortured. But also cool to see it light up those tires.
Okay, now this is epic,
I fell in love with this car
it’s a fire ass car be really carefull with the cooling system there really bad really so many plastic parts but once u fix them it’s fire
Exactly fuck all the plastic coolant parts 🤦🏻♂️
I've had so many of these, I can replace the degas bottle in 20 minutes now lol
I have the degass bottle replacement down to about 20mins too.
Well done 👏
Quick question did your steering feel heavy? Also how was your pedal response? I'm actually fixing up a LS for my mom as a descent beater! Thanks!!!!!
Lol the way you say Wisconsin I’m from here so it’s funny to hear it different
Love my ‘01. Definitely not a grandma car! I wish they could have marketed it better because the LS is a surprisingly great car. Fully loaded luxury (even had a/c seats!) and quick to hit highway speed. A smooth, boat-like ride, but with the handling near to a Focus. Plus it’s half Jag due to the suspension and the XJ8 engine. Future classic? I think so.
This Channel is great lmao
You have a cool father, love from the east coast
I’m trying to buy one right now these are great cars
Love it
Did it break after a while?
What did you have done to it to make both tires spin
So to make the burnout put on 1st brake and gas?
Wat was it chucking at the end parts or tred?
Holy hell that was bad ass lol
Niiiice! Gotta admit, tho. This shit hurt my heart. Lol I love these cars. I own an 02 Lincoln LS V8. Don't think I could ever put mine through this kind of torture. 😂
I just picked one up that wont have tires to long
Same. 😆
i love this cars
First minute is video proof why you should NEVER tell a buyer your bottom dollar… dbags will always go lower
Whaaat? a grandma car? it looks very sporty and drives sporty to if you ask me
Yeah I kinda looks like a bmw 2003
@@xoelsteppa1216 that what I thought too.
oh my god i love blowing tires keep going
And you got that for a deal my guy you good 👍
6:20 Rear driver side tire..
"Houston...we have a problem!"
I gotta really nice one these Lincoln ls
...Cheerwine soda pop?
Never seen it in Wisc, lol.
I'm a San Pellegrino sparkling fruit juice or Izzee dude mostly, though.
they used to have it in walmart (Florida), but not anymore sadly
i wana weld the diff of my 2000 v8 but dont want to since it wont go anywhere without the traction control in winter lol
LOL, its even worse with 1 tire spinning. I got stuck in mine all the time haha. Timing Chain tensioner retired her. She'll be back one day
My first car and I was doing donuts in the snow all day 😂
Blinding oncoming traffic with smoke from a burnout? Very responsible. Nice.
I have a 05 sport and I've never had one tire spin. Difference in rear end? Some had lockers? I'm confused
v8? You must be down on power. My 03 ripps once you start throwing it around. Make sure traction control is turned off as well
Turn off traction control if you can
So what did you weld to get both tires to spin together?🧐😅
Spider gear
I just bought a good condition 2002 ls for a winter car its nice but needs more horsepower lol.
I’m 14 but I want a ls with a v8 when I’m old enough
@@ReeshaRacing lol I’m almost 15 and I have a 2002 lse my grandpa gave it to me for free
Nice loncoln markviii wheels
Damn this girl can drive
Stock 3.9? Welded? Does it chirp on daily driving
Yes
This car is beast for donuts but not as often as you’d like I bought this car after seeing this video a while back lol and I absolutely killed the engine mind you I had a 168k mile engine no problems until I started fooling with it not worth it if you just want to dog it. I recommend this for a daily and nothing else runs smoothe on the freeway
More of the ls
3:51 Wisconsin! Yaaasss!!! ahaha
I just bought one today 90k miles very clean inside and out everything good overall for 4200$ , this ain’t no grandma car it got sports mode cruise control V8 engine tech tronic pushing almost 300 up
Same about the same time u got one too, 90k miles glossy white 2006 Lincoln LS v8. I have had issues with the cooling and the coil packs as well, but this car is for sure a pimpin ass car.
First gens were rated@252hp & 2nd gen@280hp
plop 2 compact spares on the back :D
That old car did a lot better than I think it would
This old car can race an beat ALOT of the big dogs.
Damn I m definitely finna try that with my ls
V6 ones are stick shift and actually drift easy
For people saying these cars are underpowered, that might be true but for age it was built it’s not to shabby
I know this is late but I have a 1996 Lincoln towncar signature and it’s got the same exact engine as a mustang from the time and has dual exhaust pipes stock
My first car ever was a 2004 ls. Now I own a 2005 ls, hope I can find a 2006 ls v8
Just got mine today!
My first car was a Lincoln Ls to 2006 tho still have it
@@22guru What year?
I have a 2006 LS V8. Replaced every plastic cooling part on it plus water pump, Radiator, Alternator, battery, shocks, a arms, brakes, all coil plugs and put a short cold air intake. I got 150,000 miles out of it so far.
That car ripped until it blew up
On Insta it says you're 15.. Is that correct, bc your driving on the road?
Kalled a permit lol
@@ghghg6579 Of course... Where i come from, Lessons at 16.5 and permit at 17.
Yup that’s it I’m botta build one
I got the sane car like that one can u fix my to lol
They all over heat tho
Where's the guys neck?
Yes, In fact they do drift 😂
2nd gen lincoln ls came with a LSD stock as well as a vvt cylinder heads. 283hp.
No, they didn't. The LSD was never an option for the lincoln LS. although the 1st generation did have similar size to an 8.8 rear, so the LSD from an 8.8 bolts right in. 2nd generation however was slimmer.
I use to want one of these so bad but now that I'm older and can afford toys I can't find a nice example of one for nothing they are all beat to shit
I got a nice one for sale! It needs a little work, an maybe paint cause clear coat is coming off but it’s an 01 an has 160,000 miles an clean
1200 and it’s yours
I have 1 LSE V8 and 1 LS V8 2002 & 2000
I think the LS looks sporty. Grandma car tho? 😂
Nah, I own one and it’s faster than my dads RT Challanger, not the prettiest car but this shit RIDES lol
Ls is fast as fuck
I fucking love this car. It's like being in a toxic relationship with the hottest girl in town though.
I bought a 2000 LS in 2001… still have it. Other cars have come and gone, and maintenance has been hell, but I can’t imagine letting go of my LS.
Grand ma car !? How dare you !! 😂😂 there is a pretty big following for this car, mine is anything but and old people’s car, there is a guy named stu who literally built his Ls into a competition drift car
oh, jeez... you look so cute... I think i freaking fell in love with ya 🥶😰
Aye no simp September
This the most simple shot I ever seen lol

This chick seems really cool and seems to have a cool dad. Now i'm disappointed my GF ain't like here
Gotta be n.c
Or hear me out ac recharge

Touch your face less and recieve clearer skin...
