RE: S197 Designation?

Well put Redfire... I was too lazy to ask my bro, not that he would give me an accurate answer anyways... i remember he was working on DN101, which i think was a taurus... what's the D stand for?

S197 is a "codename" given by FORD. the chassis is actually a D2C.... "D" class 2 door coupe. The exterior was done by Sid Ramnarace, who had a background in designing kitchen utensils and plates.

^ Right, the same frame etc... and I thought that before the 2005s came out, the frame hadnt been changed in like.. 20 something years right?

Well technically, modern uni-body cars don't have frames. What they do have are common attach points, so if the attach points for various components like engines, axlesand suspensions are all geometrically identical, no matter what the body or "frame" looks like, its the same S197 platform.
