1997 Ford Thunderbird LX Sport review from North America
"Best car ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car in 2003, with 80k the intake manifold cracked, but it was replaced under recall by the dealer.
I had to replace a hub, but that was pretty cheap.
Nothing else has gone wrong with the car. just a few things here and there like with every car.
The door handle broke, but I had that replaced.
General comments?
I was sick and tired of all the mustang and camaro boys wanting to race me and always beating me cause they are lighter, so I put in an 04 aluminum 4.6L engine and supercharged it... now its at 365 rwhp.
