The plastic on the driver's seat cracked at 120000 miles.
Ignition cylinder spun all the way around at 100000, preventing shutting off of the engine.
Other than that, the car's been perfect for 6 years.
This is my first car which I inherited from my dad when he got his Corvette.
I love the power of the V8, and at 17, it's easy to get into trouble very quickly with 260 tweaked ponies under your right foot!!
My only complaints so far have been that this car guzzles gas like crazy. You can actually watch the gauge move toward empty at high speed on the highway. Also, the stock radio/cassette has a slight tendency to garble tapes and the overall sound quality leaves something to be desired.
All in all, for a first car, this can't be beat. While all my friends are driving junky little imports that break or cost thousands to fix, I simply tool along in the last American rear wheel drive luxury coupe that was available to almost anyone. Even used, they make a great bargain.
Hey how are you doing, I also have a Thunderbird v8 95'. How do you know that the Thunderbird has 260 hp. Is there any way you can prove it because I have been trying to find out how many hp it has, and I have no way of finding out because they only list it for the 3.8 V6. Did you do any modifications to your car or did you leave it as is?
I also have this car and the STOCK hp is 210, although the torque is in the high 200s I think.
Please note that I said... "tweaked". I had a little work done to it right before I got it. Chips and a few other things. I still love the car, and in 3 months have put almost 10,000 miles on it already. Despite such high performance, it still gets about 15mpg.
There great to burn rice with. I put a body kit on it and I have smoked every front wheel drive I have come across.
so far the only car to bet my bird was a mustang svt
