Don't the 97-98's have a problem with the blend door in the HVAC breaking? I heard that's a real expensive fix, and you won't have any heat or a/c 'til it's fixed..

^ Brilliant.

Sweet! I'll have to check into that!

Hmmmm...interesting. Looks like it shares some of the Seville's problems. Not much room under the hood, can't modify b/c of FWD, etc etc.

Whoa! Blue leather, ya don't see that very often!

Just out of curiosity, are you having a lot of problems or something with your '95 Continental? I ask because I'm looking to buy either one of those, a VIII or a Town Car next..

One of the cars I'm looking at purchasing next is a 1995-97 Continental. From the factory, they're pretty quick..1/4 mile in the high 15's, 0-100 around 20 seconds, but I was wondering, since it's got the Cobra 32 Valve V8, will the aftermarket parts from the Cobras and VIII's work on the FWD...

Ah yes, the saudi Town Car. Anyone ever build up a 91-97 4.6 model though?

I've always been curious, what's the fastest somebody's modded a 4.6 T/C to? I thought I heard a mid 14 1/4 mile somewhere... The cost and availability of aftermarket parts for the SOHC 4.6, more or less than the LT1 Brougham?

I have a friend with a '91 Talon TSi AWD. That thing is so confident in the snow, acceleration and handling are sublime in the snow..and AWD is fun in a big empty parking lot. But with AWD, it's very hard to ride that line between "hey this is fun" and "ooooooooh :q:q:q:q"...if you lose it...

Well I never drove a TC in the snow, but a Roadmaster, with posi and the LT1. Even if the VIII is bad in the snow, due to design, tires or lack of driver experience, I can always add weight in the rear end and it'll be better! Are the VIII's posi or not? I don't think they are.

Yeah, FWD can be a problem in the snow too, especially when you're accelerating, and your wheels will start to slip, so you've lost the steering and acceleration. My 4.9L '92 deVille will spin it's front tires all day long in the snow, unless you're really careful with the throttle. My...

So basically, the biggest problems on the VIII is the air springs, and the headlights on the Gen 1's. Other than that, they're pretty (relatively speaking) solid. The oil filter adapter gasket and IMRC's are really small issues though, all things considered.
