It's really cool in terms of a function>form philosophy, but I do have to admit I'm a little saddened by how much the aero disrupts the contours of the body. Then again, the RX-7 is my #1 bedroom poster car.

Yeah, I've never driven anything that's attracted as much positive attention as this. Every time you park you have to budget 10-15 minutes to answer all the questions.

That seems suboptimal given what happens to F1 racers the first time any of their aero gets chipped.

But I bet it makes for a great looking fireball in the movie!

Jesus that's a lot of downforce.

Friend of mine who has that big blue J truck on one ton axles and 40s that I've posted bought a second J truck because one isn't enough. Factory 401 Golden Eagle edition. He's putting an LS in it because it'll cost half as much as doing a rebuild on the 401 that'll get it to a few hundred horses less, but enough about that...

I can imagine that's damned near necessary to make a Viper not go rear end over end taking a corner at speed. A stock one is basically the personification of oversteer.

People in AI are saying ford are doing a lot of nice new things now. But ford designed the escort, cortina, falcon, mustang and gt40 a long long time ago. They've always been right, just not always in the USA :D

That's a Shanghai SH7221 sedan made between 1974 and 1994 I don't know which year this was though, as they were more or less unchanged during these 20 years. I've never heard of these before, and I've never ever seen one in the wild. They had 3 in the collection. The interior pic with the curtain is also from a SH7221

Fair comment. I didn't really follow touring car racing in the 80s, and sierras weren't on the road here.
I mentioned escorts (my partner had a mk2 when I met her), cortinas (my grandmother had a mk2, a mate had a mk1), mustangs (another friend had a 1970 fastback), and of course the gt40 - never sold here of course either but I couldn't not mention one of my favourite supercars - I would even be interested in a kit car of them.

In the 1980s australia , ford withdrew the v8 falcon, we got the nissan made ford corsair and mazda made laser, meteor and telstar, instead of the euro sierra, fiesta or escort. Ford AU started with mazda partnership assembling CKD but were looking to go their own way in body design and even looking to Kia soon..
So from a personal perspective, 80s ford wasn't very good.
But on the plus side, globally speaking, you could argue that ford even aced that decade and have always had the best cars all the time I guess, (somewhere, not necessarily available to you)

Yup, some of the people who put the class on told us in person the night before the announcement, there were tears. It made the whole class pretty bittersweet.
