Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / November 2007Mach 1 Review
See if you can catch the inaccuracies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWWTgtOiY2s&feature=related Scroll down for the answers. 1) uses '95 Cobra motor 2) uses IRS 3) "I think the hood scoop is a marketing thing" -- (Brock doesn't get it.) 4) 1-year of production Though I must admit the take off in the video was pretty impressive. Patrick That video is infamous for those of us on the Mach 1 Registry...besides engine and suspension in accuracies, the Brock Yates comments about vision impairment were silly. >See if you can catch the inaccuracies. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >Patrick > NoOption5L@aol.com wrote... > See if you can catch the inaccuracies. > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWWTgtOiY2s&feature=related > > Scroll down for the answers.

Umm. AFAIK, there was NEVER a Lincoln counterpart to the Mustang. The closest thing was the Mercury Cougar WAY back in the day. Scott W.

Yeah, that was the Fox body counterpart to the Mustang, but it STILL isnt a Lincoln. >>>>>> See if you can catch the inaccuracies. >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Yeah, that was the Fox body counterpart to the Mustang, but it STILL isnt a > Lincoln. Just jumping in here. This talk about odd Lincolns or Mercs reminded me of a movie I saw the other night. I don't know its name, but it Has Robert Redford in it and he was driving a 64 maybe 65 truck, and the tailgate read Mercury. Anyone know about the truck?

Anyone know about the truck? No, but they did make pickups for a while... http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/PickupTrucks/196xMercuryPickup.jpg http://www.fairlaneacres.com/images/merc1.jpg http://www.fairlaneacres.com/merc.html >>>>>>>> See if you can catch the inaccuracies. >>>>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > http://www.fairlaneacres.com/images/merc1.jpg > http://www.fairlaneacres.com/merc.html Wow, so Mercury did make trucks back then. Thanks. The first link didn't work, but that red truck sure is cool.

It is not the same platform. Parts of the LS architecture were carried over, but the chassis is specific only to the Mustang.

The 2005 S197 Mustang was originally designed to use a "Lite" version of the DEW98 platform, but while that plan was eventually scrapped as too expensive, most D2C platform development completed prior to that decision was retained. This led to the carryover of several DEW98 chassis components. These components include the floor pans, portions of the transmission tunnel <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_tunnel>, the front frame rails, and basic fuel tank <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tank> design." > It is not the same platform.
