sold my 90 SHO taurus and picked up this super clean 95 mark VIII. this car is PIMP!!!

 

looks good...but how is it on gas?
id want a daily to have a very economical engine but thats just me..
otherwise looks good

 

its not bad on gas if you keep your foot out of it. the display was showing 30mpg on the highway. i get half that in town.

 

IF

 

thats the problem, 280hp FTW!!!

 

Remote mount turbo setup?

haha, looks clean.

 

slam the air bags!

I know a guy with a 5.4l dual t-66 race car mk8...****** looks clean.

 

already been sensor lowered. you can actualy hook up switchs to manually controll the bags too

EDIT: scott with the ninja edit link insert

 

I always wanted one of these for a DD, or a V8 LS.

 

man, thats sweet.

 

thanks guys. i love this thing. stock they do 14.6 in the 1/4 and mid 13s with just a 100 shot. i have some plans for this like a 100shot, j-mod on the trans (the ford guys know what i am talking about), maybee some 3.73 gears (has 3.08 stock). best thing is, i only paid 3300 for it! and the interior is even nicer than the body, and it has a XM radio with the service still on it! everything works includeing the 10 disk changer.

 

Sweet jesus, look at that engine bay. It'll take you 2 days to change the plugs.

 

did them yesterday in 10 minutes

 

Yea but the whole point of the DD is you dont do anything to it so that it becomes reliable.

 

and there is the problem. i can't leave anything stock, and i can't drive a boring car. just drives me crazy.

 

Wow! That is an awesome deal! I'm considering picking up a second car as a DD and for winter (old subie)...but the first thing that comes to my mind is how can I make it faster and then can I rallycross it...
