that’s a great looking car; the SVT’s really set it off. hard to believe that it’s a '93. Mark 8’s were always styled way ahead of their time, so it looks more like a '97 in that picture. the things you list for performance are a coincidence, because my car is the exact same way. sluggish off the line, decent at speed. of course, a Mark V8 is going to be very different from the 3.8, but somehow you’d think that they would be different in total performance.

and btw, i want that self-leveling system. imagine swapping it out…:ohnoes:
