Weight Distribution? Reply #1 – February 04, 2006, 05:01:26 PM The old magazine articles I read list the '87 turbo coupe at 57/43...I figure the 5.0 cars are probably close to that. Quote Selected

That all the weight is in the engine? Please, share your insight. :hick: Quote Selected

Weight Distribution? Reply #5 – February 05, 2006, 03:13:02 PM Heck a new F-150 has a 57/43 weight distribution. I doubt our cars are 70/30:rolleyes: Quote Selected
Weight Distribution? Reply #6 – February 06, 2006, 11:50:33 PM I would imagine a Cougar would probably be more balanced than a Thunderbird - their longer roof makes 'em look more butt-heavy, anyway... Quote Selected
