Rich,
If you "press the pedal to the metal" a little bit more, that Edsel will
easily go up to 80 mph and run rings around those 'speed demons'. That
is if you can afford the gasoline it takes to do that. The Edsel was
created in the era of 'muscle cars' and had an engine to match, so it
can hold its own in the competition. It may not be as nimble as some of
today's cars, but it is superior in terms of raw horsepower.
I long for a replacement for my 1989 Mazda MX6 turbo, but it died after
300,000 miles - the replacement 2008 Mazda3 handles almost as well, but
lacks that turbo boost which made the MX6 a really "fun to drive"
vehicle - it was really a Zoom-Zoom car.
73,
Don W3FPR

Sure do love driving my Edsel. Wish there was a lane on the freeway
that was left empty so I could take nice weekend drives without all
those young speed demons racing along at 70 mph.
<grin>
