From my understanding, the camshaft change was about the endurance of the engine for police usage by moving the torque curve to a better RPM range. Added benefit was it added just a few more horsepower though. Not much, just about 10 to 15 from what I recall.
The axle ratios, might have been ordered depending on where the primary usage of the Mustang was going to be used. CHP bought quite a few to use for pursuit cars on the freeways and open highways at the time. So I would assume they may have been equipped with a higher gear to gain a little more top end speed from them.
The E36 because I had one just like this. Same wheels and gray interior. It wasn't the fastest but I miss that car.
I want a Skyline cuz I'm from the land of the rising sun but they are stupid expensive and most have been modded out.

Yes it is. I consider it stunning. IMO, it is the car that made Rolls Royce into the iconic car brand that defined luxury cars and set the standard for what a luxury car is judged by.

The 3 Series was absolutely iconic, at least thru the E46...then BMW lost their way, but that’s another topic entirely.
For 20 years, every small sporty sedan had the 3 Series as a development target.
I just sold my E46...tranny slipping, warning lights were starting to pop up so off to CarMax it went LOL

The Mazda Miata is a kind cool little car. They are not the fastest, but they are a butt load of fun to drive.

Another car I consider to be iconic is the 1964 Pontiac GTO. It might not have been the first fast factory produced car or even the first musclecar, but it did start the factory movement in many ways of the smaller car and bigger engine era that in some ways brought us many of the musclecars we came to love.
The GTO started out as option for the 1964 and 1965 Lemans, then became a separate model for Pontiac starting in 1967 to 1971.

I always thought that these postal vehicles were an example of something designed by a committee. It looks like so many odd things were added for the benefit of one of the committee members....
Believe it or not, they’re actually called LLV’s (Long Life Vehicles)and were designed by Grumman
They’re built atop a Chevy S10 chassis and are powered by the venerable Iron Duke 4-banger.

Our postman could sure use a new vehicle. (Yes, he's driving one just like above.)
Anytime he has to kill the engine and restart, thanks Amazon, it damned near won't fire.
