I would recommend the opposite if a buyer was intending to take the car to the track, regardless of what kind of track. I would say get the A10.
Set it in Track Mode (or Drag Mode, depending upon what sort of track) and go for it.
Why didn't Ford ever stick a 351 in the Maverick? It is physically the same size as the 302 that they did use, and was used in a number of other cars during the 70-77 period that the Maverick was produced.
That would have made this a memorable car.
Not the All Seasons, but a number of forum members here have installed the PS4S Michelins on the stock Dark Horse Handling Package wheels, using the same sizes (305 and 315 30/19)and there is no rubbing or impinging in spite of the wider tread as compared to the Pirelli Trofeo RS (probably...

Mine has a differential temperature displayed on the dashboard, but are there a lot of differential failures on track for overheated differentials during HPDE track days on street radial tires? I doubt it.
Since you say it has been an issue, maybe you know more about it or have seen it...
LOL
Honestly, think it looks great. I did not even notice the Philips head screws at first, and they would look like they belong there if you were not aware that the car did not originally come that way.
I live in Georgia. I purchased my car in June. I have never had the AC off.
Also, I have a Dark Horse with the handling package.
So I do not know how useful my information would be to you, but cruising along on the highway my temps are usually in the 180s if I am just driving easily. On the...
What are the other colors, green, orange, red?
I see on the internet the white sign with a blue square and black numbers, but I do not remember seeing those signs in the late 80s. The internet says they were introduced in 1974. Maybe I did not want to see them.
