Almost got a couple of tickets test driving a Mark VIII for sale yesterday! Running down the Silver Strand (a narrow strip of sand between Imperial Beach and Coronado here in San Diego) which is a notorious speed trap, and I was cruising along at 65mph, and punched it just enough to ensure it didn't slip on downshifting, then got back out of it at 75 mph. Hit the brakes and signaled to turn into the base marina to go back, and darned if there weren't two cops sitting in the driveway of the marina running radar. I had also passed a road sign on the beginning of the Strand the said "loud /modified exhausts may be cited" and this Mark has been straight piped from the converters back, no mufflers at all! I would say it's about as noisy as a Flowmaster 2 chamber exhaust would be. Needless to say, I pulled back out of the marina driving like a little old man!
