Not sure as I wouldn't have put it the other way round!
The front never did it for me.
It looked as thoiugh (to me) some one had tride too hard with it.
The had top was ok.
In think (in its day) it hit the right notes for being comparatively afordable performance........and got those engines of course.
The 5.3 (IIRC) was the fastest but not the best for thar car; 3.6 or 4.2.
I've always liklkes mercs sports....they have a charm.
