Well it appears that Ford did want my business afterall. Long story short, oops, sorry, we made a mistake you get credit... sorry...
So I got what I wanted. The trade in on Mean Green was less than I wanted they couldn't move much on it. It was fair so I took it. It has already been sold to a guy who bought it for his kid for finishing university. He has CEG's and my info so we may hear from him yet.
This car is slow... no it isn't kind of slow, or just slow compared to Mean Green, it is hella slow... I am not pushing the car at all since it's only got 150kms on the ODO but I can tell it is not going to ever be a race car. At first it felt top heavy, but I noticed as I passed a Blazer that I was sitting as high as him, so I think body roll is a little amplified to the driver. It corners better than the Contour did though, and the brakes are far better, so far I have only activated the Advance Trak once on a gravel road (that gravel pit in the background is my Dad's and I can do whatever I want on that property... just wish he would pave all the roads).
I already have removed the craptory stereo since I took these pics. As an added bonus you get to see my 82 VW, which incidentally is as fast as the ZX5.
I guess the Corrado will have to wait a few more years...
