I was on this beltway last week, and I was doing around 85, when out of nowhere I look in my rear view, and I see this car coming real fast, so I start speeding up, trying to match his speed, he finally inches up towards me, while im doing about 112mph, and climbing, come to find out its a Lincoln Mark VIII, on the rear it said Intech, he eventually inched in front of me doing about 118, and my 95 couldn't climb as fast as he was climbing in speed. My question is can somebody tell me what the hell does that Lincoln Mark VIII have underneath that hood?

the mark VIII's are serious cars, if i'm not mistaken they have the same old 4.6 stang engine, however lincoln made it a 32 valve engine and managed to pump out 275 horses.

my uncle had a white 1987 Linclon Mark VII LSC and that car was just as fast as my grandfather's 1995 Cadillac Deville, but the odd thing when I was riding with my uncle, my grandfather started pulling away and my uncle said "now watch this, one little puch more and....." he pressed the petal and he slowly cought up to my pop-pop and then we had to slow down to make an exit, but I just forgot how fast we were going, and now he has a Mark VIII, but I never felt how fast that car was.
