83 Thunderbird Heritage with FMS kit Reply #15 – March 31, 2014, 05:26:31 PM Quote from: thunderjet302;431425'15? I've got a '12. The new ones are nice. More Fox Thunderbird like than Fox Mustang like.Yeah, I'm holding out for a '15... But that could change depending on how much $$ that IRS adds to the cost. I'm shooting for a GT convertible (it's my mid life crisis car, what can I say). I'm a bit disappointed that it won't be in showrooms until November - was hoping to pull the trigger this spring, but I guess I'll have to wait until next. If it is priced too ridiculously I'll either buy a '14 or try to find a lightly used C7 Vette (again, middle age). My brother has a 2012 V6 6-speed with the performance pack. He loves the car, and has been doing his best to make it "His". He's bought a tuner, CAI, some interior bits including a billet shifter and e-brake handle, and a ridiculous looking rear window louvre. I keep telling him he's put a mullet on it. Here is a few pics with his winter tires & wheels on it (the stock ones are 19"). I BEGGED him not to apply those red stickers that came with the wheels...[/hijack] Quote Selected
83 Thunderbird Heritage with FMS kit Reply #16 – March 31, 2014, 06:24:19 PM I don;t know if you've driven an '11 up 3.7 V6 Mustang but they are surprisingly fast. The one we have is only about .5 second slower to 60 and in the quarter than the Thunderbird. It doesn't feel really strong if you drive it normally but if you stomp on it the engine screams.
