It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

If for some reason I was one day to be chased (which won't happen) i'll take them up Angelest Crest (a different one) and see who wins My last recorded speed going up there was 84mph. I don't think a crown vic would want to go that fast

Not as scary trying to explain why you couldn't catch up to a Geo Metro and wrecking te cop car.
Could have used some Street Survival and DEs.
