brush up on the driving skills and you shouldnt have a problem with the grand am. I think the Mark VIII has a dohc 32 valve. There heavy but I dont know much more then that about them.

As 4.6 said, better driving would take the Grand am GT. Those are about on par with 99-04 V6s, stock. Your car should be able to edge past it. As for the Mark VIII... i have no idea. It's not a race car, so it really shouldn't matter.
