Not only was the Thunderbird redesigned with aerodynamic clothes free of tacky accoutrement, the top-tier Turbo Coupe injected some exotica (for the time) into the Thunderbird. Looking like the victim of a botched liposuction, it simply didn’t work and sales reflected it.ġ983 would see a continuation of the Fox platform beneath the Thunderbird, but in a way to exponentially increase the desirability factor. Arguably, the low point for Thunderbird aspirations happened for the eighth generation introduced in 1980 when many design elements of the previous generation were dumped onto the smaller Fox platform. This isn’t to say that the aspiration was more pronounced at some points than at others. Through it all, it did manage to present itself as the aspirational vehicle in the Ford lineup. The high silicone content of hypereutectic pistons increases its thermal stability, and therefore increases the piston’s resistance to knock damage.(first posted ) During the life of the Ford Thunderbird, it dived in many varied directions and often with staggeringly different results. For example, the SC uses a forged crankshaft, bespoke billet roller cam, and hypereutectic aluminum-alloy pistons. While the SC’s supercharged engine features the same 3.8L displacement as the base car, there are quite a few differences internally.The driver can manually select a “firm” ride at any given time For example, the shocks will firm up during hard cornering, yet will change to a smooth setting on the highway.
The data is used to soften or firm up the shocks appropriately within milliseconds.
