Might want to talk to Cougars2Go about Mark VIIIs before you buy one.

Heh... I'm not sure his experiences were 100% typical, but something to look at before you buy, definitely.

Yeah you're right. I think his Mark VIII was built at around 4:30 on the Friday before Memorial day weekend.

update he washiznit by a truck. Pulled out from an obstructed veiw stop sign in a residentail area the guy was flying. My kid mis-judged his traffic gap and got creamed.
quick question though as we will be sharing the next car also i need something with enough headroom for a 6'6" teenager who is still growing. I modified the seat tracks on the bird for leg room, he had enough head room. Looked at an LSC MKVIII and his head hit the roof. anyone every lower a seat? Any other tall drivers out thre have any suggestions

Was the power adjustment on the seat in the mark all the way down?

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.

I'm not sure where I read it but I think there's a pin at the back of the seat track that can be repositioned for an additional inch or so of travel... should get him a little more headroom.

That's akin to saying that because your truck has four wheel drive, you don't have to worry about bad weather conditions.

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....
