The car has been fairly trouble free, needing only a new radiator and alternator, until just recently. However, this past fall the Air Suspension was retro-fitted with a coil over strut conversion, the rear shocks were replaced, one inner tie-rod replaced, and a rear axle seal installed.

 

While not extremely rare, only 28,164 Mark VIIII's were made.  This car is painted White Opalescent and has the Opel Gray interior and still to this day has the original Mark VIII front and rear floor mats.  The Mark VIII is capable of getting to 60 MPH in 6.6 seconds and will make 97 MPH in the quarter mile, in 14.7 seconds.  Still, it will make nearly 24 miles per gallon, cruising at a sustained 70 MPH.

 

 

The 1993/1994 Mark VIII is five inches longer and nearly four inches wider than the Mark VII.  The wheelbase is 113.0 inches, 4 inches longer than the Mark VII's.  This makes for greater interior space and ride quality.  Even though its larger, the Mark VIII is lighter than the Mark VII at just over 3,750 pounds. Mark VIII's features unibody construction with a high-strength roof, heavy-gauge steel door beams to protect against side impacts, front and rear crumple zones, dual front-side airbags and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

 

Suspension & Drive Train: The Mark VIII features short-long arm four-wheel independent suspension, with front and rear stabilizer bars and a standard computer-controlled air suspension system (The latter, automatically lowered the ride height by about one inch after maintaining a speed of at least 55 mph for longer than 45 seconds.)  Power is supplied by an all-new, all-aluminum, 4.6 L DOHC 32-valve V8, making 280 hp at 5500 rpm and 285 lb⋅ft of torque at 4500 rpm.  Behind the engine is the 4R70W 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.  The rear axle ratio is 3.08:1.  Also featured are chrome dual exhaust tips and 16-inch cast aluminum wheels.
