So I just got the Mark VIIII a few weeks ago and my brother wanted to race against his daily, a 2003 Crown Vic ex highway patrol car. It's stock minus 3.73s and a shift kit that the popo put in all there cars unless they did something else we don't know about..unlikely. It also has the heavy duty wraparound grill (100 lbs), and a spare and other crap in the trunk, I do not.
My car is a 93, bone stock with a brand new air cleaner and freshly seafoamed engine. Runs good.
We were planning on jumping on the highway and doing a 30-70 ish roll, but because of a few cars could only manage to get down to 40. Both cars I believe were in 3rd, then I honked it off and we went. Both cars very quickly shifted into I'm assuming 4th, but he got the jump right when we mashed the gas and stayed about 5 feet ahead until 75 when we let off. What the hell?? The crown vic is pretty quick, but the mark even feels faster than the vic. Did I lose because of the 3.73s and starting at 40 in 3rd? I thought for sure he would be left in the dust!
