Yeah but it was "the dreaded CJ's". Say the chrome trim doesn't look right and some on here will want it banned because it doesn't appear factory stock even though many other cars have long since changed trim,bezals, etc.

There are MANY examples and Dick disclosed a few.

Question: What if this was a regular mustang with no factory involvement and just happened to be a soft combo, would it draw the same response?

YES?? Then why don't ALL THE OTHER SOFT COMBO'S CAUSE THE SAME UPROAR?

NO? Then what you are saying is your against factory involvement or FORD FACTORY INVOLVEMENT?

MAYBE? Because it has a blower? AH! the dreaded blower.
How many other cars out there;
1) run boost
2) are underfactored
3) qualify at the top
..LOTS! but again they don't draw the same anger? And they don't cost $70,000 to build (oops I mean $40,000 right bruce?) No they are FWD turbo cars which are a lot cheaper to build than a CJ.

Not often I agree with Dick, but he's dead on. EVERYBODY should see this as a challenge for mopar and GM. If they can't do anything for a while than let ford carry the weight and back the racers and hopefully bring more exposure to S/SS.

What do you think the guys writing cheques at ford are thinking when they bring out a CJ for S/SS and expect to get kudo's and instead read all this crap?? WHY BOTHER! SCREW THEM ALL! We make more money building a gazillion "specialty" mustangs like foose/shelby/bullit/billybob special/etc, why the hell should we waste money on a car that causes a controversy and makes people hate ford? Let's stick to harley/scorpion/rodhall/etc f-150's where we are applauded for our efforts.

Way to shoot yourselves in the foot guys. Hate ford so much that even if they are the last company that can help S/SS (oh yeah THEY ARE!) you hate them?
