I don't have a pic of my current car, but here's one of me looking goofy with my old
one, a 1993 Thunderbird LX/V6.

The MN12's where too heavy for Six's. I had a 92' Cougar for a time, thing was underpowerd like Cruse liner powerd by Goats on a Tred Mill. My 95' Bird's got the V-8 and it does fine. But that engine isn't going to stay in too long. I'm getting one of the Mustang Cobra engines to put in er.

I agree. The 3.8 was adequate for cruising and mild city driving, and it had enough low-end torque to move OK from a stop, but it really lacked power overall, considering that the car weighed ~3600lb or so. 140 hp/215 lb-ft just wasn't enough. My Mustang is noticeably quicker, but it weighs around 500lb less and has about 50 hp more. Still, the T-bird was a great cruiser/highway driver and it would've been quite good with a V8.

Yeah, with that many miles, don't race it or beat the engine in any way...and it'll last for a while and make a nice car.

#48, That's not a XR7, I don't think. That was a performance package, not a granny-vinyl top package.

Pretty reliable, I see a lot of Cougars still on the road. Just don't pretend you're on a racetrack with it. That applies to any car, but especially one with 100K miles.

When you don't know how the previous owners treated it, and it has 100K miles, it's better to play it safe and treat it right.

That year XR7, if it actually had a V8, would be the 4.6L SOHC version that they use in Mustangs. Not too fast; around 200hp in that calibration and trim level.

They also came with the 3.8 V6, around 140-150hp.

Thunderbirds were available with the 3.8SC until 1995; it was good for ~220 hp and had 315 lb-ft of torque or so.

#56, that goes with any amount of miles really 50K with a bad driver can be just as bad as 100K
