Re: C4 vs Crown Vic

how committed are you to autotrack? (I think we call it autocross here in the states, interesting aside)

because a top heavy all steel truck with 70/30 or 65/35 weight distribution on a ladder frame is going to be terrible at autocross without a lot of money in motor placement and suspension balance.

I have a friend with a C4 front rear swap on a 55 and it rides and handles great, but it would lose every autocross it entered. the newest c4 is 25 years old! crown vics are popular right now but I dont see guys doing it for autocross. I have a 1998 grand marquis I have been contemplating putting under my 56, but it wouldnt be a handling thing for me either.
