Road and Track did an update road test on a 73-74 car and said all the problems had been fixed, but the bad rep from the first tests still prevails. Most people remain ignorant, to the benefit of those who like the cars and are not rich.

The bad rep was only in the USA...markets elsewhere got the Detomaso factory prepped Euro spec models that fared much better in road tests. Also, non-USA drivers didn't use them to idle in a Burger King drive thru in Phoenix in the middle of summer.

When compared to a Mustang or a Corvette, it had "issues". When compared to a Countach or Ferrari BB, it was a gem everywhere except in the USA.

WHY?

It begins with an "F"...
