Agreed.

However; speed ain't always everything.
I once saw a Ford Pinto with a large blower on a small block.
It would go like stink. I wouldn't want it either.

Actually Dean after the Old Chicken Farmer got AC to ship him some body/chassis's he went to Chevrolet first looking for engines - they told him they weren't interested they already had a Sports Car. So he went across the street and talked to Iacocca.

That is why Cobra's had Ford's in them.

Personally, although I know it's not PC I like the Special Olympics reply.

The Grand Sports would've, should've, could've been. Too bad GM didn't get serious about racing until the C5.
