This is Bill "DOHC Mark VIII" Hamilton and his1995 Mark VIII LSC. He added a SuperChip and modified the air box for more intake air and sound. Future mods probably will be a different set of wheels and maybe a better flowing exhaust system. This car is Ivory Pearlescent Clearcoat in color with Ivory interior. With a July 1995 build date, this was one of the mid-year LSC (Luxury Sports Car) packages. It is equipped with the DOHC, 32 Valve, 290 hp, 4.6 liter engine similar to the one found in the 96-98 Cobra Mustangs and has a 3.27 rear axle ration an AODE automatic transmission. He has never taken it a ¼ mile track but using a G-Tech Pro Meter it has recorded times as follows: 0-60 mph times
and ¼ mile times with speeds
Bill showing what the Mark VIII and the SuperChip are capable of. Bill, how did you take this picture at that speed? You must have used fast film! This is Bill Hamilton 1995 Mark VIII at the last day of the season (November 14, 1999) at the Cooper River Dragway 1/8 mile track. He beat a Z/28 Camaro! He also beat his personal best time, doing 9.585 at 75.50 mph with a 2.299 time for the 60-feet. His 3 best times of the day were all run with the traction control on and letting the transmission shift for itself. Taking the traction control off resulted in too much wheel spin and a best of 9.796.
This is a cool night-time picture of Steve Trapp's '95 Mark VIII. The car is equipped with a SuperChip, Magnaflow mufflers and a K&N filter.
