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!

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.
