This is Robert
Pirnat's beautiful 1996 Diamond Anniversary Mark VIII.
It has been modified with Fondmetal 18X8 wheels with
Sumitomo 255-45-18 tires, a Cobra 3.73 traction lock
differential, Metal matrix driveshaft, Transgo shift kit
set to medium, Plasma Booster ignition, and a Reinhart
chip.
Yes, it is
possible! This is Dennis Reinhart's incredible Vortech
Supercharged 96 Mark VIII. The car has a 1996 Cobra
Mustang complete upper intake manifold with a 1996
Vortech S trim 8lb polished blower for a Cobra. Dennis
installed a Cobra Radiator and coolant fan. He converted
the car to true dual exhaust by taking out the third
unmonitored Cat and resonator. An 8.8 inch limited slip
differential with 3:73 gears from a Thunderbird Super
Coupe was installed on October 27, 1999. Dennis is
planning to take this modified Mark to Gainesville drag
strip for a test run. For more pictures of this unique
car see Sandbag's site at

These were the car's run times at Gainesville on
November 10, 1999:
This is Eric
"Canuck" Erickson's 96 Mark VIII. The car is his wife,
Shannon's daily driver. This 48K mile beauty is equipped
with the Touring Package which includes the JBL audio
system and traction control. Eric has done the following
modifications to the car: The air filter box has six 1"
holes cut out in the front and top. The air filter box
now holds a K&N filter. The exhaust is now more
free-flowing due to the replacement of the third
catalytic converter, resonator and stock mufflers with a
large Y-pipe attached to the stock exhaust manifolds to
the splitter and two 40 series Flowmaster mufflers with
the stock tips set out 2" further than stock. The
original wheels have been replaced with chromed Mark
VIII 10 spoke directional wheels. The windows are tinted
to protect Eric and Shannon from the Texas sun.
Here's some
pictures of John May's 1996 Mark VIII. He bought it July
31, 1999. She has 54,000 miles on it now. So far the
only modifications he made to it is the airbox
modification. Future plans include the Trans-go shift
kit, freeing up the exhaust system and probably a
SuperChip. He's not sure what the "official" color is,
but he thinks it's called Midnight Black. She looks
black at some angles, turning to a very dark purple when
the sun hits just right. One of these pictures is from a
vacation He took to Durango, Colo. The Mark handled the
high mountain air (and the wonderful, twisty roads) like
it was built for it.
This 1996 Mark
VIII belongs to Christo "devicemanager" Ramo, it resides
in New Hope, PA and the only modifications that have
been done is: Smoke window tint Chrome directionals
Custom Stereo - Pioneer 8200, Infinity Kappa's all
around, 2 MTX amplifiers, Baz
