Word I heard about the engine(Yamaha) was that when Ford got the first one, they put it on the dyno and red lined it. After 20 minutes they had to shut it off. The noise was killing them. The red line was 11K and the engine lived.

I never drove one but friends who did said they were killer. Their FWD program and transmissions weren't up with the engines tech of the day, and they weren't a real good looking car. Just my opinion.
