Who needs flowing body lines when you can just shove your way through the air with sheer brute force. We won't let no air resistance dictate the way we do things. 'MURICA.

Came here to say this exact same thing.

Or we can just shoot our way through it.

The sheer brute force of the malaise-era engines.

Much like TG's Hammerhead Eagle iThrust (aka Geoff), our malaise era machines pummeled the air into submission and beat it aside.

We knew but couldn't make money on it.

Or..

We tried but we didn't want to alienate our core buyer.

Or..

Ford did what? With Fox chassis? Shit!

Is that some kind of flow tie but with the corvette emblem?

First thing I thought when I saw the flowtie was that it was a copy of Callaway's C4 emblem. And people think the airbags are a big deal!

Naw.. The original "ecoboost" would be an SVO.

Like this? Marketing a pro of FWD being able to tow a boat with just two wheels.
