Actually the Town car got the 4.6 in 1991. I have the Super Ford magazine for that year with the previews. The Vic and Marquis got it with the redesign in 92.

 

I agree. The only problem that the Cobra had in the 5.0 version (94-95) was the crappy computer that retarded timing when shifting to save the tranny. A swap fixes this little problem. The AODE verison of the mustang will more than likely lose to a good running Mark, but a GT will run close, a Cobra will kill it.

 

Mark hasn't been made since 1998. Until then they were almost the same engine. After that is not relevant.

 

Wrong. The DOHC 4.6 first appeared in the Mark VIII in 1993. This was the FIRST Ford production vehicle that utilized the 4.6 DOHC.

Why is this s hard to understand? Heres a review of the car showing a picture of the 4.6 four cam engine in a 1993 Mark VIII?

I own a 93 as well as 2 other Mark VIII;s they were the first 4 cammer's, not the Mustang.

 

Oh wow sorrrrrryy I was off by one year on one Model car. Sorry dude its been a long day.

 

I did not say Cobras. And it is not down "hard". It was door to door, with a slight edge to the Cobra. The Mark VIII was a match for any year GT up to 1996.

 

Evolution.

 

Yes. 85% of the Entire Fbody line from the 90' redesign through the last year were cookie cutter plain jane V6 and base model Camaro and Pontiacs. Of course the SS are not included in that. The thing about the Mark is that every car has the same engine.

Why, you ask? ...because you needed some education.

SVT does indeed include other evolutionary items in the current Cobras. Do you know of any V8 (or any engine for that matter) that has the same camshaft six to ten years after the engine was first brought out? Adding a power adder, or evolutionary changes, does not change the fact that Lincoln designed and built the engine.

Make no mistake. The Lincoln Mark VIII is a muscle car, that YOU give no respect to. No, it is no SS Camaro, but who (besides you) gives a whack?

 

Gee, was there a 1996 Cobra with the DOHC? I was not aware of that.

 

He is not wrong. He said "4.6 SOHC and DOHC first made their appearances in the Mustang in 1996. The 94-95 SN-95 had the 5.0."

This is true. He did not say the 4.6 DOHC was first used in the Mustang.

 

First you said "The Mark beat all stock Mustangs of its day." Is the Cobra or GT not a stock Mustang? Now you are saying the Cobra barely beats the Mark 8 of the same year and GTs are good races for the 8. Which is it? You are swimming through BS trying to come up with the truth and it is not working.

Wrong. Find me any year bone stock Cobra vs. the same year bone stock Mark 8 and I will show you a lot harder beat down than door to door with a slight edge!

 

Easy there, amigo... I do not consider the SVT Cobras to be Mustangs, nor do I consider a car that's engine hand built on another assembly line "stock". The facts are, I raced a 1995 Cobra up to 154 mph and we were neck and neck. (Only thing not stock on my Mark was the speed limiter was defeated.) ...Until the Georgia Patrol used it's LIDAR on us and we split, he got pulled over. I also drag raced the same car and lost by a 1/2 car length. I care not a whit what your opinions are beyond that.

And yes, My stock Mark beat all stock SN-95 Mustangs until 1996 in straight line races. I never lost. That's a period on the end of that sentence.

I do believe that my Mark will now beat your GT, judging from your posted time.

 

So now a Cobra is a modded Mustang? It comes from the factory that way. What year is your Mark? When you keep changing your story, you lose a lot of credibility. What did your Mark run bone stock?

 

Nowhere on the Cobra did it say "Mustang". Certainly it is not a stock Mustang. Reread what I said.

1994

I have no idea what it ran "officially" stock, I never hit the drag strip timers with it. I only raced it against other real world cars, red light to red light, etc.

You talk of credibility. I'd say you cannot read what I actually said, and not let your emotions come into it.

 

MKVIII's can haul some serious ***, my mom has a 95. I saw one run a 14.8@92, probably a 96+ from what TerminVIIIor said.

Edit: I've seen pictures of a white MKVIII with polished Cobra R wheels and it looked absolutly gorgeous. Those stock swirly wheels don't do it justice.
