I miss my 'Cuda :(

Nice to see that it's running, how long was it down for?

2.3 turbo motor from the Thunderbird turbo coupe, right?

I heard the transmission is weaker than the turbo coupe though.

666! Lol.

Haha, nice...very unique! I think these cars are ugly in the front, but they're definitely very cool. I'd like to see what you do with it!

^^ there's a guy that drifts a white one - its RWD with independent rear suspension with MacPherson struts stock

a LOT like a Mitsubishi Starion ;)

I miss my XR4Ti :(

Yeah back when I was growing up in NY. My dad and my uncles used to street race. Most people had Starions/Conquests, Merkur XR4Ti, Mazda GLCs, RX-7s, and Toyota Starlets or Celica Supras.

Those cars were our Integras, 240s, or Eclipses.
