:wink2-green

Very fast 14.59 at 96mph... what mods you have on your 93?

Chip and JMOD. Thats it. Still has stock 3.07 gears,exhaust,etc. Dont know how long that will last tho.

The 93's are definitely the fastest stock Mark VIII's, I think they have the lightest curb weight as well. I drove my uncles 93 with only 35k miles on it and went WOT around the block... definitely mid 14 seconds capable with a good launch.

just to clarify, Danny/ndoghouse is running a 1995 processor in his 93.

Needed the 95 processor in order to run the "hand me down" chip.

Oh Yeah! Forgot to mention the processor... Thanks Bro! Gettin old I guess Hey Im getting almost 2 mpg better too! Ill know more when my foot gets back to normal.

better gas mileage is always a plus!!!
