Sucking air soley from the spoiler area instad of from the grille area as were all years prior. In design, this was a problem, a fair amount of air would be sent up into the engine bay, but had very few places to escape as fast, creating a push up on the hood, which in turn creates the lift at high speeds. Oh-well, i love these cars anyway.

May 13, 2008 at 11:05 pm: Lets see... ...... "H" mph comes up to about 110-115. I've had my 78 T/A up to "M" about 130. I never experienced any lifting on my 78, must be the difference in the noses.

Nov 10, 2007 at 9:23 pm: Awsome run, makes me miss my ' 78 T/A even more. I've always been partial to the older T/A's that had the last of the big blocks under the hood.

Sep 19, 2007 at 9:33 am: Kind of peppy for a an oldie! So that's how you get to meet the boys in blue!

Sep 17, 2007 at 8:44 pm: LOL... I love it... Now I am going to have to get mine back out on US27 this weekend and hit 120 or so... EXCELLENT!!! Soupy

Sep 17, 2007 at 7:47 pm: dont think my arms will flap that fast, cuz at about 125, this thing starts to lift... it is not a new ws6! lol
