The Bobcat/Pinto had some stupid engineering.
The clutch involved a steel piston operating in an aluminum cylinder.
You can see the flaw. The piston carved the cylinder right out. Idiots.

Don’t know about that, I had a 73’ GT 4spd and it would gogo really good, got it up to 110 mph. But I will agree that any car without a frame is really sketchy.
