I remember that day, they were all shifting their body weight to try and make it faster on the straights hahaha good times. They pulled back to the trailer and they all had the biggest smiles on their faces!
Sk3ptik0n : If you have never driven a 2003 to a 2010, Grand Marquis, you'd be surprised at how good it handles, for a big car. But it really isn't all that big. It's about the same size as a Ford Fairlane in 1969. My 2008 Grand Marquis will haul buggy and handles real well. I hate it that Ford quit making Mercurys. They also discontinued the Lincoln Town Car. I used to have a '72 Chrysler Newport. It handled like a much smaller car.
Good driver, like other comments said he's tossing the car around for the 'lols". Notice how he doesn't panic when he runs off the road in the curve near the start of the video, and how well he handles the chicane.
A grand Marquis.. On a race track.. That's odd.. But that goes to show you how a full size sedan can handle.. Haha.. That will make a good car commercial on many mercury dealerships
e36killer : How many Grand Marquis' have you driven? I've been driving them for twenty years. I've had a '97, a 2001, and now a 2008. They handle just fine. My 2008 handles very well. It has quick, responsive steering with plenty of feel for the road. It goes where I put it and does it quick. When I have to pass someone, I can do it very quickly. The car will haul ass. How many Grand Marquis' have you driven?
fhturner3: I believe the Grand Marquis is considered a five or six passenger car. It has three seat belts up front and three in back. However when you do have six people in the car, it is a little crowded.
I don't think whoever is driving that Grand Marquis, is used to driving such a car. I have a 2008 Grand Marquis. It is one of the best handling cars I've ever driven. I don't know, but I think I could do a lot better on that course, wherever it is; than that driver. I had a 2001 Grand Marquis and it was an excellent handling car; but the 2008 handles better. And they both will haul ass if you put the pedal to the metal.
@StephenB58 very capable driver. he was intentionally throwing the car around for full effect for the camera and his passengers. plus, gotta remember, that's 800-1000 extra lbs in the car just from people!
Three extra passengers. A car can't drive on it's own. So there will ALWAYS be at least one person behind the wheel. So the EXTRA weight is from the THREE passengers.
@StephenB58 Barber MS park is a very tricky circuit. I think he is doing a very fine job with that aircraft carrier. I can't tell what speeds they are doing, but I will guess much faster than that car has ever been taken on the street aside from a straight line.
He seems to be carrying several passengers as well and he is painting a perfect line.
@StephenB58 He's actually doing very, very well. The Grand Marquis is a great street cruiser with lots of room, but it's a fish out of water on a track like Barber (or any other road course).
i own a 1998 marquis and i love it. for a large car it handles spectacularly and its got some pep in its step as well. lol i would love to bring mine to the track.
people may laugh at this but that driver is showing serious skill. look at the lines he maintains! to throw a 5000 pond car around that with stock tires and the stock squishy springs. and not wipe out. thats pretty amazing. Look at that Body roll!!!!
I was elated to see a big luxo-barge on a race track. The driver knew the car's limitations and kept it under control. Great driver. If he had been driving a blown
Marauder, it would have even been better. Wonderful video!!
Oh YEAH... In an issue of Motor Trend that I read a couple of years ago, there was an article regarding racing rentals. The #1 rental to race was a Ford Taurus. It's electronics were the most consistent. The quarter mile
was finished at the EXACT same time after multiple runs. Way to go Ford!
lol the grand marquis is a great car...i dont think kellie has ever driven one if she thought it was gonna flip over lol...center of gravity is great on vics and marquis if you throw some sway bars on em the cars become really fun drifting machines..slow but still fun
"I'm afraid it's gonna flip!" wow lady, don't freak out, it's a Grand Marquis, not a school bus. I wanna take my 01 Town Car to a track and see what she can do. I already race her around my town, but not like this.
furst you nearly runi him off the road then you dont pass when he lets you then you make fun hes just havin fun thats all who gives a shit what you and the dumb bitch think
that is a 8 sec crown vic not a marquis. also it a 22 year old driven i should know seeing as it my boyfriend whos driven and it his pride and joy, that he mods on a regular base.
@hhawker86 the car in this video? i swear i see a mercury emnblem on trunk, and merc tail lights. same car as the vic, for the msot part though. hell, maybe i AM mistaken, i sear though i seea merc emblem
That was really good driving considering. I don't think most people could compensate for how much these understeer. I have a P71 Interceptor which would have done a little better and held those turns a lot better, but not bad. lol
grand marquis's are perfect for cruising around but race cars? no. Id still take one over a ricer, i use one as my daily driver and its actually good on gas for a big car
just had a rental 2008 marquis.. pretty nice.. i know not the fastest. but god damn that thing has alot of torque.. pushing the pedal at 60 mph it keeps going and going and going.. and the sound is just LOVELY.. too bad they are single exhaust
actually, there's a package mercury offered for that car that included dual exhaust, and aprox 240 rwhp, it sounds awesome, its a REALLY nice car, i had a 1997 grand marquis w'dual exhaust, it sounds beautiful...but if you can drive one of those, do it
Plus... I think another package, if not the same one you're talking about, offered 3.55 rear-end gears versus the standard 2.73. That's should help the acceleration quite a bit along with the dual exhaust. I just bought a 2001 Marquis LS recently and I'm thinking about doing both of those mods at some point.
looks like grandma and grandpa took a wrong turn on their way to the senior center. look at them shaking their fist at the crazy drivers... i swear i saw big white hair in the back seat. haha. just playin. looks like a ton of fun. check out my lincoln fun vid... i love those big cars.
I have a entire list of parts in my head that would have made that car WAY faster and better handling on that track..lol Fantastic video 5 stars And I faved it!
talk about body roll, my friend had one of these and if it didn't leak a quart of oil from the rear main ever 2 days and had broken seats and bad electronics it would have been pretty fast.
amazing...absolutely fucking amazing! I have an 03 myself and I fucking love the car, I only wish I could drive like that especially with 4 passengers....damn
wow!! great handling for a car whit that dimensions and more impresive because that was the granny pack!! whit 4 people inside!! can you imagine the police pack??shit!!!
I've driven a Crown Vic before, they handle like an SUV, soft, feathery suspension that makes it bounce around and roll through corners. I guess the Mercury Grand Marquis is worth the extra money.
Mercury vehicles have always been slightly better than fords, when Ford was making iron engines, Mercury's would be all aluminum, and revved higher so they'd be a bit more powerful. They'd also be geared better to give slightly better acceleration. Most Mercury's will have electronically adjustable suspension with the "comfort mode" the Crown Vic comes standard with along with the ability to stiffen it up. RIP Mercury Cougar!!! :(
They're Fords, but they're better, somewhere between Ford and Lincoln, mid luxury. They're generally better, more upscale interior, better suspension, a bit more powerful.
In this case there are no performance advantages this has to be a 06 or newer model a police would be more performance oriented the Mercury now days is just nicer options. This is a GS so its not even possible that it has the air suspension. Unfortunately Ford no longer gives Mercuries more HP or anything like that. It would be nice for them to start competing with Infiniti, Lexus and BMW as a sport luxury like they started off as. I'm still impressed a live axle 4,000lb car did this good.
I have a 93 Grand Marquis with the handling package...It seems to handle at least as good as my 67 442..probably better.

talk about body roll, my friend had one of these and if it didn't leak a quart of oil from the rear main ever 2 days and had broken seats and bad electronics it would have been pretty fast.

I've driven a Crown Vic before, they handle like an SUV, soft, feathery suspension that makes it bounce around and roll through corners. I guess the Mercury Grand Marquis is worth the extra money.

I had the police version... it handled almost as good as my mustang did. That thing would take a corner and make it its bitch!

Mercury vehicles have always been slightly better than fords, when Ford was making iron engines, Mercury's would be all aluminum, and revved higher so they'd be a bit more powerful. They'd also be geared better to give slightly better acceleration. Most Mercury's will have electronically adjustable suspension with the "comfort mode" the Crown Vic comes standard with along with the ability to stiffen it up. RIP Mercury Cougar!!! :(

They're Fords, but they're better, somewhere between Ford and Lincoln, mid luxury. They're generally better, more upscale interior, better suspension, a bit more powerful.

In this case there are no performance advantages this has to be a 06 or newer model a police would be more performance oriented the Mercury now days is just nicer options. This is a GS so its not even possible that it has the air suspension. Unfortunately Ford no longer gives Mercuries more HP or anything like that. It would be nice for them to start competing with Infiniti, Lexus and BMW as a sport luxury like they started off as. I'm still impressed a live axle 4,000lb car did this good.
