The suspension was also Yamaha, and I'm thinking the entire Powertrain. There are a whole bunch of parts on the body and other parts that look like regular Taurus parts but they were actually only specific to that model. ...and no I'm not saying that those parts were made by Yamaha.
I think it would be amazing if I had that car again in the condition was in when I first had it.
The engine was amazing, but it actually wasn't heavy enough to hold down the front of the car if you really stomped on the gas from a dead stop, if you were pointed very much uphill and trying to make the 60 MPH in 7 seconds, the front of the car would start hopping. Some people actually put cinder blocks under the hood of theirs.

Thanks for the correction on the rest of the powertrain...but I did remember correctly that it's not Ford.
