      A little over dramatic, wouldn’t you say? Keep clowning

    My dad's uncle has his 1983 Turbo Coupe Manual Transmission Ford Thunderbird which he got brand new. It possesses only 14,000 miles & still got the original tires.

    Watched it comin' up Winslow
    Down South Park Boulevard
    Yeah, it was looking good from tail to hood
    With great big fins and painted steel
    Man, it looked just like the Batmobile
    With my old man behind the wheel
    Well you could hardly even see him
    In all of that chrome
    The man with the plan and the pocket comb
    But every night, it carried him home
    And I could hear him sayin'
    "Don't you gimme no Buick
    Son you must take my word
    If there's a God in Heaven
    He's got a silver Thunderbird
    You can keep your Eldorados
    And the foreign car's absurd
    Me, I wanna go down
    In a silver Thunderbird"
    He got up every mornin' while I was still asleep
    I remember the sound of him shufflin' around
    Right before the crack of dawn
    Is when I heard him turn the motor on
    But when I got up they were gone
    Down the road in the rain and snow
    The man and his machine would go
    Oh, the secrets that old car would know
    Sometimes I hear him sayin'
    "Don't you gimme no Buick
    Son, you must take my word
    If there's a God in Heaven
    He's got a silver Thunderbird
    You can keep your Eldorados
    And the foreign car's absurd
    Me I wanna go down
    In a silver Thunderbird"
    Down the road in the rain and snow
    The man and his machine would go
    Oh, the secrets that old car would know
    I still hear him sayin'
    "Don't you gimme no Buick
    Son you must take my word
    If there's a God up in Heaven
    He's got a silver Thunderbird
    You can keep your Eldorados
    And the foreign car's absurd
    Me I wanna go down
    In a silver Thunderbird
    Me I wanna go down
    In a silver Thunderbird"..........................ruclips.net/video/t_BGv0bVfA0/видео.html

    With acceleration just barely better than the NA V8 and fuel milage just slightly better than the V6 automatic one wonders what the could have done by putting the blower and 5spd on the 6.

      They drive better than the numbers suggest, and the turbo had production variances. I think I had a better sorted example, judging by conflicting accounts. The super coupe in 1989 would agree with your line of thought.

      If ford had turboed the 3.8 the Thunderbird would have been Ford's Grand National. Would have been even better than the GN if Ford offered a 5-Speed manual in addition to an automatic. But damn. Back then Ford transmissions were weak sauce
