so...which side are you taking? first it was a width issue. once proven invalid, it became a length issue.
and what ever happened to good old american competition? maybe ford should/would do it just for fun. i remember when car makers actually cared about (performance) image and had no problem making 1 or 2 models that were not useful for anything except burnouts.
