Which is faster, a Mk8 Lincoln Continental or a Caddy STS?

Question

Im talking 90's, not brand new, or indeed which is the better of the two all round?

Answer 1

for 1998 the lincoln had 280 horsepower with a 1/4 mile of 15.3 seconds while the sts had 300 horsepower with a 1/4 mile of 15.1

Answer 2

The STS came out in 2005.

The Seville which it replaced was front-wheel-drive. It was also WAAAAY too big to be front wheel drive. And it was a sedan.

The Lincoln Mark VIII was a coupe. It was based on a modified version of the RWD MN12 platform from the Thunderbird/Cougar. And it was by FAR the faster car. The LSC was capable, with minor modifications (taping up seams, removing side mirrors, setting suspension as low as it would go) was capable of over 180 mph.

With a STOCK POWERTRAIN, Lincoln got one up to over 180 (IIRC, 183) at Bonneville Salt Flats.

I don't think there's any contest. Unless you gotta have four doors, it's the Lincoln by a mile.
