Well, it's a '69 Mustang but I'm guessing that's not all there is to it.   ???

I don't know this part of the story, but that's not the thing I'm looking for!

Not a Ford Mustang Boss 492, is it?

No, this is a very special one! (indeed built in 1969 by the way!)

Mustang LE600?
Title: Re: 155. of All.
Post by: Allemano on February 24, 2009, 10:20:10 AM
Neither. It's more about an inner secret....

Post by: neilshouse on February 24, 2009, 10:21:10 AM
A different engine maybe?

Tip 1: Look carefully at the second picture: what is at least a bit irritating?

Tip 2: It's not about the engine

Please forgive a tired old man's failing memory & question.  I know I knew (frustrating as hell) what the trailing wheel was for, but can't recall it.  Was it a calibrated speedometer?  Slip angle detection?  Wheelspin detection?  None of the above?

Thanks,

The fifth wheel, in Germany called Peiselerrad after its manufacturer, is a calibrated instrument for length measurement.

therefore gave accurate speed data during acceleration testing.
They probably use GPS-derived data nowadays.
