Some interesting comments C&D made of the Voodoo. Maybe if the Z51 had vibrating seats it would have done better.

...True, it doesn't really come alive and pull in earnest until 4,000 rpm....
...Owing to its crankshaft design and lack of balance shafts, this is not the smoothest V-8, it is in fact, one of the least smooth. Shooting through to the far side of the tach and the engine sends a mighty vibration through the pedals and dash and your seat bottom. ...the vibration is exhilarating, even if the instrument panel pieces might not like it in the long run.
...The car is not set up for drag-race launches. Drop the clutch below 4000 rpm and the car will bog a bit...

...sell yours before it vibrates itself to pieces.

Hard to see the Ford camp embracing this review. I guess that's why no one has mentioned it until now even though I've had a copy since before Christmas.
