But there’s just so much you can ask of 4cyl in a 3000+ lb car.


Hmmm.... okay, but if you repaeat the same mistakes with a v-8 , v6, inline 6, or boxer enginethat you did with a 4 cylinder are you any further ahead???

Yup. I'd rather race with a 5.0 and still have a Thunderbird then have to stoop to a "Mustang" *coughcapricough* to keep the 2.3.


Ooooooohhhh ...... I will give you a day to think about this and come back with something a little better :flame: I know you have it in you, c'mon man, work on it a little bit :shakeass:

I know it was a big "stoop" for me to move to a 1 of 1350 car that I race EVERY weekend over a rusty 13 flat daily driver t-bird that was eating itself around me. I'm tuning on another bird, we wil lsee where it goes, its still a driver too.

What mistakes? It went 14's, got 33MPG, went to Cali and back twice, and did it all for less then you paid for the head work on your 2.3T. Again, I'm not seeing the huge mistake? The only mistake I made was trying to have my cake and eat it too by daily-driving my "race car". That problem has been solved now with a real DD/tow vehicle.

Just speaking the truth on the TBird/Capri saga. You didn't just give up on "your" Bird, you started deleting your posts all over NATO. That was lame. You can wax poetic all you want about the Capri, and I'll agree it's a hot little number. But you turned your back on the ENTIRE Thunderbird community. That is why you lost my respect.

Man, you sure do have a convienent memory huh ;) Just remember what you said here, think back honestly, and tell me about respect okay. NATO has nothing to do with the t-bird comunity. When paying members are told to like it or leave by an appointed officer, I chose to leave. That doesent sound like a community I want to be part of now does it? Long after the NATO fiasco, we still talked about things (even the NATO deal), here I had no idea I was being used by someone that had no respect for me.

I didn't know about what you pulled until a few weeks ago. I love how you always put words into my mouth.

NATO has quite a lot to do with the TBird community, and the one rogue admin they've had there is well known. If you really want to know what's going I'll talk to you on the phone.

Fact is I'm looking for a Thunderbird, because this is the community I care about, not the 2.3 one. I don't care why you made your choices but I'm through with your "convenient memory" about me. Start playing us straight here.

Now do you have a TBird for sale, or can I get back to my thread?
