with all these new fords coming out like the 650HP GT500, focus st, a new fusion, and even new Lincoln concepts would it be so hard to imagine a new thunderbird? DONE RIGHT OF COURSE!!! i dont know about you guys but i would love to see a proper t-bird. 2 seat sports car. something to hit chevy in the pockets with their vette and dodges viper. i think it would be a good idea. drop the 5.0 under the hood and go to town. i found these on the internet and i am not to fond of them but i like the idea. i like the idea better than the GR-1 and those concepts. doesnt ford still own 12% of aston martin? maybe put it on a vantage platform! keep the price within comparison of vette. i think its worth a shot.

a couple of tweeks and i think we would have a winner.

 

It's time to let that bird die. They tried to bring it back, once. Let it die or really do it justice.

 

Wow that's ugly. The original Tbird was supposed to be competitive with the vette and then just went to big crap. That thing is little crap. I'm all for a vette competitor but that thing is horrid. Lose the retro.

 

Right. They totally screwed up last time.

 

I agree. I'm not much of a fan of those pictures. What would be so bad with a gr1 with the name thunderbird? I want it to compete with the vette again. Not some pansy *** tbird like the one in 2003. Bring something hardcore. Like the Ford GT. small two seater costing about $60k. Drop the 5.0 in with a 6speed and a really nice design. I'm just tired of them comparing vettes to mustangs. They are two different breeds.

 

Yep. If this thing doesn't say gay snob I don't know what does.

 

Haha fact! I hated it. But I think the should go for a new one. I think ford has proven to us recently that they are no joke. Maybe make it look like evos-ish. Cuz I don't want to see the mustang look like the evos.

 

There's a guy on my route that has one in TEAL. It looks very gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Heeeeeeey! Lmao.

Nah but really a 500hp supercharged 5.0 two door tbird sounds nice. IMO.

 

My production leader over here has one. Really big black guy. Looks like a cheap pimp in that thing.

 

Anyone of you drive one?

 

I won't even get close to one.

 

Lol just curious. Don't gotta be all hostile

 

I guess I'm the only one who didn't see anything wrong with the 2003 Thunderbird?

People kept complaining that it couldn't keep up with Honda S2000 and BMW Z4, but T-Bird was never supposed to compete with those cars. T-Bird was a personal luxury car built for slow cruising.

Same thing with the original 1955-1957 Thunderbird. Yeah, it was built as Ford's response to Corvette, but they were nothing alike. Corvette was built of fiberglass and with i6 engine and T-Bird was nothing like that.

And great reviews of retro-design 2003 T-Bird was most likely the reason why Ford built retro 2005+ Mustang.

 

You also think the Fiat 500 is a great car.

 

Speaking of 55 (from the auction):


.

 

65 GT350 just went for $350k. Wow!

 

Charity 64 Fairlane 500 for 1 million

 

The red one? That thing went for a ton before and was donated right back.

 

Yeah it's made 1.7 so far
