    You are running out of things to post W/repeat write ups, this is the second or maybe the third time you posted this.

    No, to answer your question, I would say suspension and other aspects of vehicle technology have changed.

    Sometimes, it's hard to keep track of what has been posted. Instead of complaining, why don't you guys initiate some informative threads?

    They said right away the thing I was thinking, it’s gonna burn a lot more fuel than the cars of today. Then, ya gotta remember, it’s a much bigger engine, 426 vs 358 c.i.

    Probably more pit stops for fuel. Lost time.
