Not Ranked
Phil: One little correction: The '67 Mustang is not any stronger than the "66s. While at KarKraft in Dearborn--the year was 1967--I did bending and torsional ridgity tests on the Mustang. Turned out the '66s and '67s were the strongest cars built at the time except for the GT40 Mk IV's, which can hardly be put in the same category. All the '66 "needs" to enhance its stiffness is an export brace between the firewall and spring towers, much like the GT350 Shelby's and export models. I think Oz Mustangs have all ready been fitted with these.
