Difference between 98 cobra and Lincoln Mark VIII mod motor?

Bigredmark8 · October 17th, 2007, 04:19 PM

Ok, not to dis Stangs, but I have yet to run across one that I didn't beat. The only ones that have me a little nervous are the new shelbys. I'm also only talkin about N/A mostly stock cars. I have a 1993 Mark 8, that has only one mod...the air ride delete/coil over suspension. I mean, stock vs. stock, a 1st gen mark VIII (93-96) will usually beat any mustang, except for saleens and shelbys. And if anyone lives near Vernon, Tx, I will happily demonstrate...lol.

280 hp and 3768 pounds..

I doubt your touching a GT from 99- present.

and an 01 Cobra will rip a Mark3 a new asshole and it's N/A

welcome to the forums anyway.

Lol HMUSN, thanks. By the way, I went against an 04 GT yesterday and beat it by over a car and a half. But, me thinks he can't shift really well, heard him grinding the gears later on. Anyways, like I said, I am in no way dissing Mustangs, I love the 07 Shelby, but I'd rather have my Mark 8.

I would say that it's a drivers race between 99-04 GT's and the Marks.

I have been in a mark.. it's comfy.

an 05 GT has a 40HP jump on the 99-04's though so I doubt that would be a drivers race.

You can have the Shelby.
I think it's a pig. I would rather have either an 03-04 Cobra or and old AC Cobra.

Raced any 03 or 04 Cobra's lately??? The results would be highly in their favor.

Markviii's are tanks! but I likes them.

Bigredmark8 · October 18th, 2007, 12:39 AM

Haven't even SEEN any 03,04 cobras around my neck of the woods, but would love to pit my "tank" against one. Especially when I (maybe) decide to buy a black on black 95 LSC Mark 8. LOL

ujslost · October 18th, 2007, 12:50 AM

lmao, your bitting off more than you can chew! Where exactly is your neck of the woods?

With just a few bolt-ons and a pulley swap, those 03/04 Cobras can be a deadly beast waiting to devour contenders crossing it's path.

ujslost · October 18th, 2007, 12:55 AM

close to the 500 mark with that

Exactly, and his car wouldn't even stand a chance.

Bigredmark8 · October 18th, 2007, 02:28 PM

I live in North Tx. And yes, a Cobra with a few bolt-ons would leave me far behind in his wake, I agree. But, I could do the same with my car, with enough money (too much for me). I really can't put up much of an arguement with ya'll, LOL. Gotta love stang owners!!!

HMUSN · October 18th, 2007, 02:57 PM

A Lincon is still in the Ford Family

it's all good.

06RedfireGT · October 18th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Yeah my car would waste a Mark 8.
