*Erased*

Looks like 2.5" back to the third cat and then 2.25" from the third cat to the back.

Those down pipes look very good.  May not be room for improvement if running with cats.  Might be a good candidate for a cat back exhaust though.
 
Looks good. Love the info about the fluid changes. Always interesting to see how an aftermarket fluid reacts compared to OEM. Anything to lower those temps though.

Plan to put ZEO on the track?

Hm, track as in drag strip? Ha yes for a start, even though I never been to one (didn't want feel embarrassed by my FWD Fusion's limitations). Even Brian says with what I'm doing, I got to get out to a strip for fun and a dyno with this car.

Perhaps...once I get the engine oil in and break past 1500 miles, I'll hit up one of the Cleveland, OH area drag strips before I have to switch out the summer tires.

Gotta be one of the few "Hot Rod Lincoln" drivers out there! Not many other than the MKS owners, which are rare.

I'm in the Parma area, if you ever want to go to the track give me a heads up. I may be going to summit raceway park (Norwalk) on Friday the 19th for test and tune.
They're having a Mitsubishi track weekend but any car is able to run in test and tune.
One other guy with an Ecoboost f150 from shoforum might be going also.

will be cool to see a first year Gen 4 SHO and a first year (Gen 3?) MKZ run together at the track :thumb:
 
I can't wait to see how these MKZs and also Fusion Sports run at the track.  Amazingly, there have been no real road tests with hard numbers conducted by the reputable sources yet. 

Based on the car I test drove with only 32 miles on it, my guess is that a stock MKZ nicely broken it should be a low to mid 13 second car.  The burning question for me is how much difference a tune will make on this engine.  It already has much more HP to displacement than the 3.5.  We KNOW the 3.5 responds exceptionally well to tuning.  I wonder if there that much headroom with the 3.0.

 
One of the advantages with the latest EB engines is that the block is CGI and thus stronger.  It should respond at least as well to tuning as the 3.5EB does.  With the 2.7EB (transverse), a tune nets 90+ awhp/90ish awtq.
 
My dealer has two 3.0 Ecoboost MKZ's. I might have to go drive one too. My biggest worry is that I will catch the new car bug!

I'm surprised there are no reviews yet. I'm hearing that Lincoln won't let journalist have any of the fleet cars for such purposes.

This is one of the many reasons I love Amazon.....customer service.
Especially if your a prime member. They will bend over backwards to please you.  I think there's a few fusion owners on this forum that are local.

Sorry to hear about the windshield, Zalvern, really hate to see that on a brand new car :(  But looks like you and your dealership have things well in hand, so, Kudos!

Coolant and windshield wiper fluid.  Both starved on pretty much every rental I've had the last few years as well.  Always topped it off myself (costs, but ...) before returning.
 
Thanks for all this detail. I think you may have sold me on trying BND coolant at least. Will have to run through my stores of AMSOil before trying any other fluids.

Should get it back Friday, just in time before I take it to the Cincinnati area Edgewater Drag Strip Test n' Tune night for some times that people have been wondering on, with stock tune of course.
