Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Mustang Suspensions

[Jim and Cheryl Brown (barchetta]

Look at how long it took them to wrap their minds around  IRS.... only to 
kill it in this latest iteration due to cost factors.
I think they sort of lost something along the way in terms of innovative 
technologies. What ever happened to race on Sunday, sell on Monday?
Ferrari (getting back to content. lol) seems to be the only manaufacturer 
presently that embraces this mentality.
