"DO NOT GET A MARK VIII! This car has got to be the worst car ever for car stereo. However this point is moot since I have one."
Didn't the Mark VIII have a somewhat curvy dash that kind of wrapped around into the door panels, and a high center console? I know it was different than a T-bird, but I didn't see a lot of pics of the interior of your car, mostly the dash. I think the console came out even further than the speaker spots in the door, didn't it? I know the T-birds were extremely successful in SQ competition, never heard about the Mark VIII. You're probably going to have to glass some door panel pods and get the comps more on axis to you to be successful in that one.
I'd have to say the absolute best newer car for SQ is....the VW Beetle

I hate that it is that way, but that car just screams for a system. I hear the Passats are really easy to get sounding good, too. The older BMW 535s were great SQ cars, too. Anything with a flat dash, low or no console, enormous kick panels, symmetrical all around should do pretty good for SQ.
