But we all know from the book that the rest of the car had MUCH less, if any influence from Colletti. He only got what he wanted 100% in the engine.
I have not read Colletti's book but I was involved with the launch of the Gen II L, Terminator, GT, and Shelby programs. Typically body is always first but given the chassis was already designed and in production I am not sure who started first - Ford or Roush. Either way I'm glad they gave it a fitting name.
