Hell, even Jeep took a hiatus from the Wrangler YJ until they came out with the Wrangler TJ a couple years later.QUOTE]
Um no, it came close, but never went out of production. I believe in 80 and 81 the 302 was replaced with a 255 V8, but the 302 came back in 82.

You're right and then when it did, the 5.0 Mustangs actually helped out GM's F-body (Camaro/Firebird) cars in that there was actually horse power to be made from polution controlled vehicles. The race was on again - so to speak. However, the GM F - bodies couldn't keep up sales wise and they quit making them. We'll see what happense next year.
