RE: New Forum Look
Thanks Rick but don't you miss the Mark?
As I'm sure you know, it was always a love/hate thing.
Yes, the Mark was an awesome sleeper.
The little stuff always breaking was frustrating.
I wanted more power, so the decision was, invest more in the car than it would be worth, or go for the L.
Sometimes I do miss it.
But..
1) The L is much better for trips to Lowe's or Home Depot.
2)On the same night Stephen (Devilinblack) could only manage 15.2's in his Mark, I was easily cranking out mid-13's.
(Remember: hot, dry, desert air and 3000 feet above sea level)
3) I can actually see the cars in front of the ones in front of me.
4) Gobs and gobs of low-end torque.
5) With the open K&N and J-chip, the blower whine is an awesome sound.
Of course the trips to the pumps is a negative.
The Mark got much better MPG.
The back tires seem to wear extremely quick (go figure) and are over $200 each.
All in all, I'd do it again.
