Yeah, even back in the eighties, Motorweek would refer to it as 'typical Ford nose dive under braking'. It's almost like their signature or something. Pretty much every Ford does this, except of course for the Ford GT .

Shocks and lowering springs would go a long way to fixing this. However, if this car still has a solid axle at the back, be careful putting those 400+ ponies down, when exiting a bumpy corner .
