turbo thunderbird. its the first four cylinder turbo I ever drove. My peeve with the n/a was feeling the lower end of engine, (mustang 2.3) the turbo skips right over that.
they are nice cars. I liked them enough to seek the king of its body type, it turns out to be a mark vii-viii, those are very very nice to ride in. in contrast, the only accident I saw witnessing a fatality was a v8 thunderbird like you have. Goes to show, not everything can keep a good memory.

missing low rpms of n/a discipline, lugging around? my old boxer would make you cry. The steepest hills in my city, I start off in 500rpm in 2nd...one could double take and ponder how i got a diesel in a AWD sube wagon. It is beyond comical now, more than ever....

nice to see the 28mpg, I knew the 2.3 could do it.
