Yeah well....after the Cobra was out, Ford approached Shelby about making a hi-po Mustang. I don't know the exact quote but Carroll said something like:
"What!? That secretary's car?"
He had to redo the front and rear suspensions to correct the geometry and improve traction.
I've worked on enough vintage Fords to know the suspensions are not the greatest.
One was a friend's very nice 69 Torino that he bought an all-in-one suspension kit for. I helped him replace EVERY component including adding a rear sway bar and a larger front one.
After driving it I told him, it's not as good as a comparable Mopar. Since then he's bought a Road Runner and Charger and loves them. He said if he had met me sooner he'd have gotten into Mopars first.
