Re: oh f#@k and need advice Reply #19 – July 01, 2005, 11:54:20 AM Mark VIIIs don't require premium. They have a knock sensor for regular.Have put regular in both my '93 and my '95 LSC. And there were few (probably none) in 1995 that came with HIDs. I added HIDs to mine, made a world of difference. Quote Selected

Re: oh f#@k and need advice Reply #22 – July 01, 2005, 10:24:12 PM My Nephew is 6'5", I redrilled the tracks in his Mustang to gain approx 1 1/2" rearward travel. With it all the way back I feel like I'm the back seat, but he's still a bit cramped. I'm 6 ft, but that boy is all legs.... Quote Selected
