Anyone who appreciates performance.

Pretty weak arguement here. Looks are in the eyes of the beholder.

I don't know where you live but around here (NE Ohio), about 2-3 Impala
SS's per week if I'm paying attention. I don't care about the Monte's,
they're just sporty Luminas. After being smoked by one (Impala SS) in my
Mark VIII, I had to drive one. It is simply an awesome car, made me want
ot trade the Mark in on the spot. A 4400lb car that handles, accelerates,
and shifts like a light sports car.

It got me thinking, what a perfect opportunity for Ford to resurrect the
Galaxy! Put the Lightning 351 in a LTD. Please Ford, do something to
regain my respect!
