Re: autocrossing (now: question on Grassroots)



Oh, okay. I'm rather surprised then. I have to wonder if the lighter 3.8L wouldn't have done better.


Ahhh... perhaps I misspoke.  The car in the article is a 1967 4.2l roadster,
which is certainly not a fat parody of its former self.  I think I tend to
(wrongly) refer to all 4.2l cars as "series 2" cars, which I guess is not
the case.  This was a covered-headlamp 4.2l, with the fully-synchro box.  By
all accounts a lovely looking car.

It's the later 4.2's and V12 that are so bulbous and hideous.

 The Odyssey has fully independent suspension all around, I know that much.

 A Series 2 E-type is only iconic in the sense that the Elvis Presley
 of the same era was iconic--just a fat parody of its former self.
 I'm sure that the results may have been different with a proper
 mid-'60s E-type.
