The Neon was also less likely to contain a hairdresser.

I looked it up and this is actually true. Are all of these true? The whole time I just thought these were random made up jokes.

Probably shouldn't tell them:

the 92 Prelude Si was 7.8

94 Prelude (VTEC) was 7.2

Eagle Talon Tsi was 6.6

92 Integra GSR was 6.8

RX-7 was 5.3- 6.0

300ZX 2+2 was 7.5

Basically, the Mustang at the time was still uninteresting if not for the badge, RWD and an engine with room to grow.

Those V6's were sad crappy motors.

All of Arch Duke's little known facts are real, and totally not random made up jokes.

Also of note, the PT Cruiser was more likely to contain a cross dresser.

V8s really weren't much better until Ford went Retro though. Ford was selling the badge more than the car was selling itself.
