Holy "Cut'N Paste" John! Good showing though.
I'm surprised you guy's don't know about the Mark 8. It runs a Ford 4-valve mod motor like the Cobra's of those years but without much of the "Beef" that was pumped into the Cobra motors. The Mark 8 motors were prown to blowing head gaskets around 70K miles and they didn't take a beating unless they are being taken care of. They are fast for what they were but unless they have been modded they really aren't up to one of our L67 powered cars.
The Mark 8's do trump any W-body on comfort and luxury though!

ive ownded a mark 8 a93 which was supposed to be the fastest year, it had 4 deg. more timing, and yes it was cobra motor, witha few intrenal changes like the intake manifolds, TB and slight head work. they were fast high, the later years were heavy as hell, buy looked 8x better. mine had 13's in it all day, i tore up a few other later year mark8's. i ran 13.6 last year with the GTP, and i know the mark 8 was faster then that car
they were 280 hp and 290 with the lsc model, the 93 (didnt have lsc option)was over 290,and over 300lbs of torque. i took out the 3rd muffler(actully the first one) and put a CAI, it was way faster then stock. i know they are aren't great mods, but if you see the stock ones you know why they work.
be carful with those cars..no one sees them coming.
dont buy one tho, i had to put a tranny, abs motor(1100 bucks)replace almost every front end part..... they dont like abuse.

This thread is a little old, but I thought id add my input because I have dealt with these cars before, and all the other MN12s (Cougars, Thunderbirds, Mark VIIIs) I actually test drove a 96 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC a week before I bought my 99 GTP. My first car was a 94 cougar with the 4.6 lt engine, although the Mark VIII has the DOHC engine, compared to my old cougars SOHC engine, it didnt feel much better. Both the cougar and Mark VIII share the same crappy ford transmission. Driving the Mark VIII felt amazingly similar to my cougar. I overall was extremely disapointed after my test drive. I couldnt believe the car had 290hp, it felt like my cougars 205 hp. It was one comfortable ride though :lol: These cars do 0-60s in 7-7.6 seconds depending on the year (93-98) and the model, and can be modded up pretty fast. Id say any stock Mark VIII and GTP would easily own. It would be interesting to see a mark VIII run a GTP at a high end speed though, it might be closer than what you think.
