Gee only 12.70. Dissapointing. Ha dude that is one fast mark! You should wash it next time and you'll run 11's.

That reminds me I saw I don't know what car cause I only really saw the front bumper and he had a bra on it.The back end was hidding except for a 3 foot wing. anyways he had stupid decals all over it, cheap sh!t chrome hubcaps, a vtech badge on the front fender and in the back quarter panel glass he had a chevy symbol sticker... lol what an ass.. and to be honist I think it was a nissan but idk.. it didn't look like a caviler or a lumina(which I first thought cause it wasn't a honda) but it could've been 1. I just thought to myself this guy is such a poser.

Nice!!

I want a damn sub-2.0 60' lol

What shot are you running now? Are the front tires off the ground or does it just look like it?

Posted by: ONEBADMK8

Great job Kenny!! Looks awesome, whats up with the white smoke? Time for some Lucas.

The Mark VIII's air ride combined with the independent rear set up makes them born to drag race. They are one of THE best launching cars ever made. They transfer weight flawlessly and the cars overall geometry is perfect for this type of suspension. The MN12 as well as the FN10 chassis Fords are ALL hard launchers and respond well to traction. You really want your Mark to launch? Undo the front sway bar and she will sail!

Heres some great launch shots of these cars, enjoy.

This one hit the exhaust

great time! very nice.

geno, wouldnt the unbolting of the front sway bar cause crazy play on the front end?

Do it at the track for the track. Its a little sloppy without it but not anywhere near "uncontrollable"

heh heh...too bad it hasnt been washed in 3 months!

ok ok, I'm kidding....AWESOME picture....I hope you paid the photographer for that one!

sa-weeeeet!

here is how a car SHOULD launch! But that's our 70 1/2 Camao. Of course, 4-link, 469 inches....but it does scale in at over 3300 lbs!

ok, sorry....I only have a couple shots of my 94 launching, and they DO like to squat and hike!

Nice pics, Geno.
