Current cars, 2012 Red Mustang convertible that I love, and 1966 Fastback Mustang just finishing complete reconstruction.
Only reason that Ford was slow was the skinny tires on back, weighted ton, and no traction control. Friend had 59 galaxy would burn rubber for ever. It it as 300 gears in the real axle 120 Plus.
