LOL, yeah, and the 4.6L GT engine and 5.4 SOHC and DOHC have never made their way into a pickup either.
Chevy had a 4V powerplant back in the early 90's. They called it the ZR-1, and it made about 400hp in the Corvette chassis. The Corvette has been IRS for a LONG time. IRS doesn't make for good launches, which is why the new Mach 1 is a solid axle. Where was Ford's DOHC technology back then? The Thunderbird had IRS starting in 1989, and 4 wheel disc brakes as early as 1987. The Mustang got the bottom of the barrel for a long time as Ford tried to kill it. How many of you know what the 1989 Probe was originally going to be? Yep. The new Mustang. Good thing enthusiasts screamed bloody murder.
I have to agree with GM building cheap, disposable vehicles, but they do make power. At least find legitimate complaints.
