they did that it was called the marauder
[right][snapback]220405[/snapback][/right]
But the stock Marauder was a Maraudon't... a V6 Accord coupe could beat it to 60 and through the quarter mile.
They need to start over. Period.
But I love my car. :D

No, Kenny Brown had an aftermarket kit for it.

No matter what you do to a car....somebody, someplace is going to like it. And somebody else is going to think it sucks.
There is precedent for the Mustang Station wagon. In 1965 Car and Driver did a project car based on the concept. They used a fiberglass kit that was being offered at the time. I don't remember the company but heres a pic....I don't belive this is the Car and Driver vehicle.

And of course there was the pick-up version, the Mustero, that was licensed by Ford and built by Beverly Hills Mustangs. Here's a pic.

And in defense of Vette owners everywhere, one of our favorite past-times is to sit around on a peaceful night and listen to the metal cars rust.
According to Hemmings Muscle Car Magazine, 2008 will see the introduction of the Super-Vette, possibly to be called the Z07. A limited production run of 2000 and will come from the factory with 700 plus horse power.
A year ago I would never have thought I could have fun with a Focus. Learned my lesson. Doesn't matter what the car....if you are a car guy you can have fun with it.

unfortunately, the magnum isn't a big seller in Canada.
But I'm all for improving the car line. Give me something I want to buy, so when my lease is up, I don't go jumping over to another car company.
Hell, I'd pass on having an IRS, if they could engineer a shift boot that doesn't rattle...

I just hope there's another compact from Ford that I'll want to buy (eventually ) when we get rid of this one down the road. Wayyyy down the road, but I'm planning ahead this time :D

I like that... I'm not so sure about the rearward visability though (Those blindspots thanks to the rear pillars look big enough to hide a pickup truck in :ph34r: )
