The paintjob is terrible.. so is the interior for that matter.

Respect for the unique engine combo though.

Stolen from WIKI in reference to 1989 Supercharged 3.8 V6 Thunderbird -

When running at a maximum of 5,600 RPM, the supercharger provided 12 psi of boost, producing 210 horsepower (160 kW) at 4000 RPM and 315 lb·ft (427 N·m) at 2600 RPM under a 8.2:1 compression ratio.

In 1994 it went up to - ...with 230 horsepower (170 kW) at 4400 RPM and 330 lb·ft (447 N·m) at 2,500 RPM.

Begs the question why bother? I mean a N/A 4 litre isn't that far off the mark with a little work, aside from the torque. A supercharged or turbocharged 4.0litre would make much more sense (and torque..). Unless the entire idea was to be different..

What a mess! The exterior is pretty good, just needs a bit more work. The interior is a disgrace and so is the engine bay, never seen so many belts on the one engine in all my life!

And I have to ask, why a V6? May as well just put a V8 in there or leave the I6!

At least its a ford motor. I thought I was gonna see a VT motor in it.

Same. Least if it was a supercharged commo motor would of been reliable with some boost in it

WTF was the point?! I wouldn't drive into that thing with a VN.

Just someone daring do be different, i'm sure for cheaper he could of had a faster, hassle free car but it definately scores points in my book for not following the trend.
