I just uploaded an episode of MotorWeek where they test the '93 Mark VIII, and I figured you guys might like to watch it

That was impressive. 0-60 in 6.6 seconds!!! Wow! That was Mustang GT territory back then. The factory sales brochure said in would do it in 7.9 seconds. Nice to see that Ford underestimated the performance a tad bit there

I've got a video of a Motor Week test of the '98 Mark VIII LSC somewhere on my computer. I'll try to find it when I get home from work and upload it. I think it puts the 0-60 time in the mid 7 second range.

That 93 Motorweek vid used to be on Youtube years ago but it disappeared! I used to have it on my favorites.

60 to 0 in 109 is very good even in today's standards
a C6 Z06 does it in 100 ft

You sure? Because I've been watching MotorWeek videos on youtube for years and have never seen a test of the '93 on there. Only the '97

This vid is from my old VHS tape

Wow. I've never seen that and I've been looking at Mark VIII videos on you tube a long time. Really good performance numbers. The EPA rating was low though. I though EPA highway was like 26 or 27 mpg ??? Thanks.

It was. They often get stuff wrong.

I like how they ran a 14.9 at 97. I ran a 14.651 at 97.21 and got grief for it, and by golly here is Motorweek running a few .10ths slower with the same MPH.
