I'm not sure this has been posted or not.

In the 10/04 edition of "Muscle Mustangs Fast Fords" magazine, there was an article, "Two Tons of Ford Fun". It was "...this year's Luxobarge confrontation..." that included two MM's going through quarter mile runs.

Lidio placed 4th with a 11.70@119 mph. The second MM (a novice driver) drove a Kenny Brown conversion and placed 7th with a 13.6@101 mph. The winner, a 4.6 liter '94 Mark VIII, won with a 11.42@115mph.

This is an interesting read because it gives a good comparison of the mods used on each car. Most of the cars had 4.6 liter engines.

Reinhart Automotive and Pande's Performance missed the competition because of scheduling conflicts.

There was a thread here that I started last week. I believe, however, that it was deleted. A casualty of too much testosterone, I suppose.

Nope...not Closed...just some creative editing by moderators for some unknown reason...

It's still here... http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=12219

Just a little ignored due to the winner, I guess.

The MkVIII that won is one wicked machine. Marty's is gonna be even more radical! Scott can apply the tricks he learned on the MkVIII to the MM plus some.
