And to think, some engineer stood back and said "now thats perfect". And then some executive agreed and said "lets make it".

Most of those cars, and the cars today that are suppose to be performance based, end up as these horrible 4-wheeled heaps of gayness because of the blind-deaf and dumb bean-counters which have no passion for the vehicles them selves...just for crunching numbers. so it all coems down to getting crap out their the esiest, not to mention that's when the retarded tree huggers were bearing down on the car companies and the first fake gas shortage happened essentially killing the performance market for a while. Now we're at our fake gas shortage #2....and i'm hoping it doesn't happen again.

That's the aftermath of all the weed those engineers smoked back in those days.
