Fellow Members,
After three years and four months without a Mark VIII I am finally back. I'm purchasing a '98 LSC with 41k miles and am taking delivery in early April (when the current owners new car arrives).
I'm very exited to be back into a "Mark 5" (as my boys call it - kids are cute).
I will soon be in the market for the following:
Heated Seats (I'm not passing on this car just because its missing 1 option)
Exhaust improvements (cat back probably - don't want too loud, but a nice note)
A chip or programming improvements
Tinted Windows (local shop will do for me)
Sensor lowering (I may need help on this one - pizza & beer anyone??)
Cobra R chrome wheels / Tires (currently has stock alloy directionals)
Withing 3 weeks of obtaining the car I will post my 1/4 mile times (I'm about 15 minutes from the local track). My '95 LSC was stock and ran 15.08 (or so, I posted it in July or Aug of 2000, but lost the slips) - it was bone stock too. I'm hoping the '98 LSC has similar performance numbers. I have a K&N filter kit that never was installed in the '95 that I'm told will fit the '98 - so that'll be the first upgrade (I'll do it after I run it stock, then post improvements after each set of mods).
It feels really good to be back again and I can't wait to take delivery of my new (to me) Mark VIII!!!
