I think that if Ford had continued down a high performance road with the 429/460--instead of rolling over and playing dead in the mid 70s---we would of seen many, many improvements -------altho the boss 9er was neat, both it and the 427 cammer were basicly just coffee table foundations at that point in time-------

I agree 100% but they had other interests.

Seriously? So 1st, 2nd & 3rd at LeMans sending Enzo crying back to Italy was just a fluke? Hardly a coffee table foundation in my book, but we all have our opinions.....
