I love the way the new Thunderbirds look, I haven't had the chance to check one out in person. I saw on Speedvision last night, something about trying to stay close to the `49 Fords is the reason that they have the engine they do, it's just trying to stay 'true to form' I guess. I can't wait to hear some road specs of the car, and I can't wait until RTKILLA gets one and gets it modded enough to kill McLarens. I wonder if they're going to run them in NASCAR again or if they're gonna stick with the Tarus. Oh well, I can't get one anyway, I have to buy a Lightning first.

Those new T-Birds sure look puurrrtyy. But a 3.9 L DOHC V-8 won't move it's big A%$ any faster than my 77 Pontiac. Talk to me when Ford gets some kahunas and puts an Eaton on that there vehicle. I could talk all day about moving a Mustang with a 4.6 L. Ain't gonna be puurrrtyy. Sheriff BTJ.

Well, I didn't get to drive one, but I did get to sit in one. Two first impressions, boy the hardtop is low for someone only 6'1", my head rubbed just sitting in it. The front end is huge compared to our f150's, its long. I might buy one, if it had a back seat for the kid. At least some of the Volvo's I checked out had something that they could maybe could call a back seat.
