Message: [QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 159807, member: 20316"] What year Falcon? A good friend of mine in high school had 5 of them (60, 61, 65, 62 Ranchero) and they were NOT "large sedans." Not compared with other cars of that era! What did the 2-doors weigh, ~2600 pounds? The 4-doors weren't much larger. They did get a little larger later though. Personally, I prefer the sound and fury of a well-cammed American V-8. I like the acceleration and power trip when the secondaries open up. "Rice Rockets" don't have that sudden forward surge or loud, headers-and-doublepumper-induced roar either. Nor do their high-revving 4 and 6 cylinders produce as much tire-spinning torque . . . and I'm still immature enough to enjoy a good smoke show. However, I must admit that the imports are embarrassing the late model domestic cars. Come on, Detroit, wake up! [/QUOTE]
