While true, road racing people don't like high HP turbo cars because they get so  peaky. Never want to get into the boost at the wrong time.

The 5.0 was a natural upgrade for Bob B.

The article mentions that the 5.0 Sport lacked the Suspension of the turbo coupe.  What was different?  How did the thunderbird in either variation compare w/ the xr-7?
