Heres an old school video of the TerminVIIIor before it was the TerminVIIIor. This is from 1997 about 2 months after purchase. This is the earliest known video of the TerminVIIIor.

In this skin it was a serious street racing money making sleeper. Enjoy.

I can hear it. I just can't see the video!

No chrome strip, was it an LSC? Was it also bone stock at that point?

Either way, Mark VIII's are still BEASTS :headbang:

It was a base model.

Oh hell no it wasn't bone stock, just the engine, all bolt on's.

She was running 13.60's there.

whoa.... damn! I'm sure you've left a few people scratching their heads after you just totally dusted them at a stoplight... wow! what a freakin sleeper!

Most of the same mods you have on that car's latest version?

Can you PLZ send me a PM with the lost of mods you had to run 13.60's... I went to the track tonight with my buddy and now I am in the need for speed.

Any help would be appreciated. :feedback:

Damn, it showed it self. That is awesome!

Do you ever wonder if some of the original owners of the Mark VIII (Those over 60 units who tend to buy Lincolns and Cadillacs New as they can afford them LOL.

Ever punched it down! :eek2: Could you imagine the shock!

:yourock:

Do you think that they sit around with their :invasion: card club and go :woowoo2: You a bad :q

Then again do you think they would call their car the "TerminVIIor" :headbang: and everytime they pass a Cadillac say "Die Mother :q Die Mother :q

nice video, i remember the 2nd week i got my mark i fish tailed pretty badly. that video reminded me of that!

he has a high stall converter and 410s for sure and the rest are basic bolt ons

And speaking of burnouts... Hey Geno, I gotta hand it to you, that burnout video at the Carlisle ice cream stand or whatever is FREAKIN AWESOME! Wish I was there to witness it. And hopefully I'll make it to Carlisle next summer.

In that video I only had the LMS chip, LMS mass air, MSD wires, LMS adjustable fuel pressure regulator, 255 pump, Baumann shift kit, 4.10's with Auburn posi, 160 t-stat, LMS carrier bushings, STOCK exhaust and 245/50/16's. That's it.

ya 4 10s are the best in the burnout mix

Ever notice how those Lincoln guys always have to powerbrake to get the tires loose. I don't have to do that. Matter of fact I can punch my STS at 5 - 7 MPH and lay 50' of rubber.

Are you serious? it sounds a little louder than the stock exhaust

Powerbrake it? Are you kidding? LMAO!!!!

Yeah right.

Get real.

Plus if you look at the second burnout in that vid whn I am coming back to towards the camera there isnt a hint of brake at all even with hot tires!!!

These vids are from the MM&FF Magazine shoot with a track freshly sprayed with VHT and 275/40 rear tires!!! Yes I am in second gear by the time I pass the camera!! Lets see you "Caddy" layout 150 feet of rubber with a STOCK engine with nothing but bolt on's.

Nope dead stock base model exhaust. I had the maf kit though and that adds a little "noise" to the equation.

Hey man, got anymore Vids? I love watching your car in action

P.S. Geno, you got an AIM name?

No I do not, sorry. Ill post all the vids by this weekend. I have to edit alot of large files and make some wmv's.

Only? That's it? LOL! :bowrofl:

That's about where I am now, 'cept Ford Traction Lock instead of Auburn posi and of course - exhaust. :Beer

LOL! yeah.... I wish I had at least half of that stuff!

There's no doubt that the car has balls but I did see some braking going on when pulling away from the cam. I really can't argue this point because my car is 100% stock and has 200k + miles on it. I was just making an observation. And hey, after all it is L vs. C :)

Once I get some cash to do some work, there's no doubt she'll be a runner

I was just razzin' ya' back but like I said look at the second burnout on that same vid & there is zero braking. The first one there was a flash of braking but not needed at all.

Very nice Videos, Geno. I'll definently have to hit you up next week.

That's this one.

It would have been longer but there were families and what not crossing over from the parking are to the Ice Cream Parlor portion and they were all running and stuff! LOL!

Powerbraking a burnout depends a lot on the tire IMHO. I don't HAVE to use the brakes on mine, even with the Michelin Pilots I have that have extraordinarily good traction, but if I want to give a smoke show I do use the brakes. Even then, the Michelins don't give up a lot of smoke.

I had a set of hard Continental brand tires I picked up with the chrome 10 spokes. I could smoke them at will any time I wanted, and that was before the 4.10s and exhaust! :steering:

Hey driller, you have any form of posi?

I also hate when people try to tell me that burnouts really wear down the tire, like they're trying to discourage me from doin one. I mean, yeah it does.... but not like everyone thinks it does. Well, unless you sit there and hold it for like 20-30 seconds like I do sometimes LOL. But every once in a while, my check engine light comes on right after I do it and most of the time it's a peg leg burnout (one wheel). And BOY, as soon as I get some kind of video camera that I can hook up to the comp, I'll be filming burnouts all the time. And I'll try to get some sort of sound clip of the exhaust, the car goes in on Tuesday for it. :headbang:


P.S. I think this one is a little better view of that burnout...

http://www.markviii.org/Carlisle2002/movies/Geno%20roasting%20tires.AVI

Yeah that is better. I dont know who took that one? Its cool seeing the exhaustd make the smoke shoot straight back, then you can really hear it when I SLAM the throttle to 7500k!! Those SAME tires are still on the back of that car today, so yes it is BS that burnouts KILL a tire, it just hurts them a little LOL!

I installed the Ford Traction Lock when I did the 4.10s.
