Grumpy,
Please rest assured that I know what Aero understeer is. If the road had of been wet I would have stated so.
The bottom line is that this particular Pantera had severe aero push at anything above 120 mph.
Please note Daniel's reply:
Wow, that's the lowest speed I've seen for someone having a front lift
problem in a Pantera. That usually doesn't crop up until considerably
higher speeds but most owners have corrected Ford's ride height changes
which probably contribute to the problem. Ford installed one inch tall
spacers in the coil-overs to meet minimum bumper and headlight heights.
They also got scared and dialed in a bunch of understeer via alignment
settings and a smaller rear sway bar. Most owners remove the spacers,
add a Euro-GTS rear bar, and re-align. A better solution is to go to
ride-height adjustable coil-overs and dial in a little rake and add a
front blade type spoiler. Makes a big difference to front lift.
