    Default Need pics of Capri & GT for fender comparison

    Does anyone have pics of a Capri and a GT from the same angle. I have a friend who doesm't believe Capris have flared fenders, says they are the same as GTs, need to make a believer out of him.
    1982 Mustang GT, one owner, purchased 7-25-04. Bone stock, 16.55@82 w/2.3 60', 48 hours after purchasing. Regretfully sold

    Just look in the main album here and you should be able to find alot.

    Staright from Ford 1986 Brochures:




    Not the SAME angle but pretty darn "big".

    They're not any wider, they just have a different profile.

    I'll give you an even better example of his idiocy. He says that it doesn't matter if a car has a V8 or a 4cyl when it comes to handling. Take 2 cars that are identical, we were comparing SVO Mustangs and '79 Pace Cars to a typical V8 powered fox body. He's convinced that the 4cyl cars will handle no better than the V8 counterparts given that all cars in question have identical suspension set-ups under them. My friend, having owned a '79 Pace Car and put it through its paces and then owning an '84 RS Capri with a 5.0 and doing the same said the '79 out handled the Capri hands down. We may as well have been arguing with a brick wall because the outcome would have been tha same. He's a great friend and a dyed in the wool Ford freak but he's way off base on some of his thoughts when it comes to certain things concerning cars.
