THEY SUCK.:fucku:

 

You are a glutton for punishment. You knew I hated Fords and you posted that in my house.

 

I had a 93 Tbird LX with the 5.0L, While it has nothing on a grand national it was a good car it never gave me any trouble, that thing was a cruiser.

 

I remember when they first came out and how amazed we were with their rather radical, rounded, jellybean shape. Driving home just today I saw an early model and chuckeled to myself as to how far we had come since that original slippery design. BTW, didn't Ford start kicking some NASCAR ass and send GM running to homologate the Monte Carlo SS rear glass. C pillars have never been the same since.

Michael, Did the Lincoln LSC share the same platform with the T-Bird? Did the Lincolns really get the new 5.0's one year before the Fords every year?

 

oh bob, Why do you do this?

NASCAR?

I like a real race. A show of pure raw power. Not this pansy round and round and round and round and round and round and round and...well you get the point. Rather tedious. But wait, the biggest names in recent Nascar history all drove GMs right? Gordon, Earnhardt, Richard Petty (yes, he drove a regal didn't he?!?!?!) All winners. Seriously though, I'm not a NASCAR fan. I was raised in NY and moved to CA. Only recently did I join yall in the south. I moved to NC 2 years ago. Therefore I have yet to acquire the fake race... oops, imean NASCAR bug. I like manly power. Light to light. Performance you can wet pantys with. And, uhhh, Ford? They just aren't there.

Anyways, poking fun aside, I'm glad you came by here bob. I hope we can see more of you even after CAF comes up. For those of you who don't know him MrB is a pretty smart guy when it comes to cars (aside from this Ford deal ). he is a mod at CAF and the resident expert of the performance section over there. Refreshing in a world that seems to know so little about cars. Hey, I'm a wrench, I like other wrenches. Again bob, thanks for stopping by

 

No. I like the LSCs now. I like a bit of luxury and a big dose of balls. This was truely a nice blend.

If the Lincolns got the new 5.0s a tear earlier, they got little boys. The Stangs use the HO motor. Aside from the LSCs it was rare to see the HO motor in a lincoln. The 5.0s in the lincolns always seemed a bit lacking in regaurds to the Stangs. Sure, headers and tuned exauhst systems on the Stangs made for a better motor, but I'd dare say the Stangs got them first.

Yes, the Ts did lose the 5.0s first. the new body style Stang (what was that '94?) used up the remaining 5.0s in the first year, demoting the Ts to the fuck.6, oh, I mean 4.6. That's a shame... It was fun to beat on a 5.0 stang, at least it had some balls. Even the new DOHC Cobras blow balls. Oh well, I must say they sound good

Hey ford guys, look out for the new GTOs!!! 5.7L Corvette Muscle Baby!!!

 

I think we have to give Ford a lot of credit for introducing the aero look. Everything before the T-bird had sharp fender/bumper lines, a flat grill and an absolute upright back glass. It was the look of EVERYTHING up until that time from the Eldo to the GN. Nothing has been the same since and we do owe that to that Ford T-bird.

My comment on NASCAR was aimed at how much of a great difference Ford's "radical" aero design had on Cd. The straight back glass was a killer and I seem to remember that by the next season Chevy suddenly had a special sloped back glass on their entries just to stay competitive. (With this, this is about all I care to know about NASCAR )

Still going back, I seem to recall that the LSC had the 5.0 roller cam motor one year before the Mustang and it seemed it was always something like this. I just concluded that Lincoln and the LSC must have been the flagship marque. Possible?

Obviously, I prefer Chevy but doing a fox body Mustang or a Monster Miata looks like fun on a budget.

Anyone want to address the turbo birds? Was it just a pressurized 2.3 like the old style Mustangs had at one time?

 

Bah!!! the aero look. I hate it. I love the flat hard lines of the real musclecar era. I love the lines of the Regals and Cutlasses. The 67 Malibu. That is one bad ass looking car. One of the finest lines ever. The worst looking GM (semi musclecar) the Aeroglas Monte :throwup: . Wjat the fuck were they thinking?

May be on the LSCs. I'm not a big Ford guy. I know the LSCs had the HO and may well have been given the updates before the Stangs. They are, after all, LUXURY SPORTS coupes, and cost accordingly.

Don't get me going on the Mercurs... Oh, sorry, I meant Turbo Birds, those cam locking, no power, 4 cyl, joke of a musclecar.

 

hey check this out a Tbird SC kicking a camaro ss's ass hahaha

So the SuperCoupe is nothing more than the old 140ci OHC from the Mustamg II warmed up with like 6 lbs of boost? What's so super about that?

 

That's all. Now, when they put the intercooler on it, it did perk up a bit, but not that impressive still.

 

super six motosports makes heads cams& intakes that boost power from 190~ 260hp & with prochargers new p1sc 180+hp intercooled boost it will start proving that v6 muscle is out there!

 

No, I meant Mercur. It is a car line, that became a ford product. I put an aftermarket intercooler on one once.
