This is one of the most underrated sports sedans from the 80s. Razor sharp steering, go kart like handling and a 7k redline. They are reliable too capable of high 6 figure mileages. NP.

The 252hp rating was for 1 year only, on the initial model year of the TBird in 2002. Ford recognized it was underpowered and 2003 - 2005 TBirds received a beefier version with 280hp.

Ok, in retrospect, my reply probably came off as snarky and a bit dismissive. Which really underlines just how difficult it is openly debate a volatile topic in an internet forum. If we were two people at a bar, it would have been much harder for me to (intentionally) dodge the questions that you initially asked. So…

I treat every crosswalk like a start / finish line.

It’s either this or the Miura, choices I will never need to make.

Based on the behavior I observe on a daily basis of people texting while crossing the street, not bothering to look both ways when entering a “crosswalk”, etc., the headline should read:

Our exploration for viable energy alternatives needs to expand beyond the current brain washed thinking being cascaded down by our politicians and corporate lobbyists parading as “environmentalists”. When this happens maybe then we will have the answer for future propulsion.

This must be the same .00000465% of the population that believed Bernie was going to be President in 2016.

My hero.

Correct!

I’m still holding out for a black one with the black rear window louvers. The original Darth Vader car.

I’ll let you buy mine at a fraction of the price. Classic body style, 3 pedal 900 Turbo.

I love this post. Thank you!

That GTV is hot. Please let it be true.

Just fucking shoot me if that’s what they’re bringing.

At this mileage, I would guess alternator, starter, control arms, rear subframe frame bushings, sword for HVAC blower motor, driveshaft center support bearing and guibo, radiator and a myriad of other assorted random, electrical gizmos (like window regulators and such). I mean, any car with 200K+ miles is going to…

At least at 205MPH no one will be able to see how ugly that front grill is.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

The thought of an Audi turbo 5 mated to a Quattro drivetrain conjures up all sorts of Group B emotion in me. But being a Haldex FWD based chassis with a DSG, can anyone honestly comment on the fun to drive factor? Does this car live up to the image of its predecessors?
