Not the looker the Superbird was (if it ever was considered a looker), but so cool.

Too bad they forgot to put a wing on it.

Oh, I think it's much prettier than the Superbird, which isn't really pretty at all. Awesomely outrageous, yes, but not pretty. This car has some nice lines even if the proportions are a little weird.

Downforce and drag are for people who don't want to go fast.

Yeah, it's the proportions of the nose and the size of the arch I was referring to.

If I remember correctly, then part of the reason why Ford couldn't get the King Cobra right is because the nose made so much down-force that the rear end got dangerously light. Mopar got the formula correct, having enough down-force front and rear to keep it balanced and stabilizers large enough to keep it from getting sideways.
