Love It! — Awesome car...Built very well. 4.6L DOHC engine has plenty of power and achieves nearly 30 mpg on the highway! 290 HP & 290 TQ Looks good and rides well, even with airbags replaced with springs. Best looking interior of any car I've ever been in. Very comfortable front seats but there's not enough head room or leg room for rear passengers. HID headlights are awesome looking and work great. Distinguishing neon taillight looks really cool, unlike any other.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Wonderful ride, fast, sleek, responsive, comfortable, luxurious

10-cd changer mounted in trunk, rear seat too small for 6' rider on long trips

Sleeper Car Of The Late 90s — This was the sleeper car of the late 90s. The LSC version kicked up the power and added a sport suspension. In black-on-black (like we had) the car was positivly sinister to look at, but a dream to drive. I miss the luxurious interior and comfortable seats. The big 4.6l V8 engine churned out 290 hp with ease. The main reason we got rid of it was because our growing teen-aged son could no longer fit in the rear seat comfortably for long trips.

98 Mark Viii Lsc — The 290hp 32V V8 has plenty of power and torque. Air ride went out so I replaced them with 1.5" lower coil spring conversion kit. The car is fairly nimble for the size and I so fun. Kinda sucks in the winter but is still FUN!

Like Heaven On Wheels — Words can't describe the ride. You have to drive one. 0 to 60 in 6.0 flat. The paint still looks like it was just painted after 10 years. 27 MPG on the highway. Hugs the road like it's on rails.

Pros

FAST, bright HID headlights, full neon tail lamp, nice stereo, dash light up like an airplane cockpit at night!

Cons

Parts are getting harder to find as it gets older. Some parts such as HID bulbs cost a FORTUNE if you can even find them Has so many computers you have to be a very qualified person (thank God I am!) to repair it!!

Lincoln Mark Viii Lsc — This car was 10 years ahead of it's time when it was built and can compete with any sport luxury car on the road today! It's sleek, loaded with bells and whistles and is FAST, FAST, FAST! Oh, did I mention that it's fast? Seriously, it has a 4.6 liter DOHC engine that cranks out 300 horsepower and is found in the Mustang Cobra R. Classy and sporty, what more could you ask for!

Power And Class — By far the best car I have ever owned. It's a hotrod wrapped in pure luxury. The power of a Mustang GT and the comfort of a Lincoln. Air ride, power everything, butt warmers, back warmers powered by a 4.6L 32 valve DOHC Ford powerhouse. Glide along in style or show a ricer your rear neon taillight as you leave him in your rear view mirror!!!

Excellent Car. — No need for an introduction, if you know anything about cars. This Lincoln Mark VIII LSC is a 290 horspower 300lbs torque luxury liner. Technology is way ahead of its time including HIDs, puddle lamp and turn signal mirrors. It is very responsive and the seats are better then any other car 9/10 times

Power and comfort, and more computerization/interface in 1998 than a lot of cars have even today.

I Truly Miss This Car Every Single Day. — Performance : 280 horsepower was enjoyable Build : It was a spruced-up Ford, it had issues, lets face it. Appearance : Ahead of its time, people thought it was new 8 years later. Cost : 24 mpg highway, not bad for a 17-ft-long 2-door land yacht. Maintenance, on the other hand... Fun : surprisingly fun to drive, and DAMN comfortable.
