Comments:
The new 2002 Fox Formula Ford is an excellent example of well thought out engineering.
The suspension layout is very user friendly and the shock layout makes spring and shock
adjustments very easy. The top mounted front shocks and the top mounted rear shock enable
the driver or crewmember to make a spring change in less than 15 minutes.
This is a great advantage if practice times are close together.
The driver cockpit area is laid out so that all gauges can be easily seen.
The steering column is adjustable to fit all driving styles.
The engine bay is designed for easy installation and removal.
One person can remove and install a new engine in about an hour.
