Skid ◊ 2012-11-23 02:32	There's a difference between a sharp turn and apexing a corner on a racetrack. The ride quality in these cars was considered far more important than whether or not the driver can win races in it.

cudak888 ◊ 2012-11-24 01:23	One fellow on TheLincolnForum.net put the shocks and springs from a Crown Victoria P71 into a later Mark V (same platform as the IV). Solved most of the body roll. -Kurt -- Last edit: 2012-11-24 01:23:13
