And you think this is going to happen? This is the same company that ignored the "More power" requests from the Mustang guys who were sick of being beat up on by LT1's and LS1's for years, and there are more Mustang guys than T-Bird guys...

I can't believe this still exists.

Come on. Do you really believe Ford would bring back a 20yo design that's outpowered by every single car in its class by a long shot? This petition doesn't want a new version, it's asking for the actual '87-88 TC to come back.

Ya the new TC would be powered by a 2.0 Zetec. I don't see a point. Everyone that wants a tubo car is going to go get a SRT4 or an Evo.  :barf: Becaues the people that would buy or could buy the new TC would be 16 to 25 and most of them think that an import is the way to go.

No I am not bashing the TC I like them but the price tag on someting like this would be through the roof.

actually its powerd by a 2.3 liter engine, and if they did bring it back oviously it would look different and would be up to spec. who knows with the technology today that car could easily come with 300 h.p. you think ford would even consider bringing a old car back..anyways just wishfull thinking i guess...

So there is a prodotype out there?

The only 2.3 still out there is the duratec. IMO its not worth the mods of a turbo the 2.0 Zetec takes to mods better. Look at all the stuff out there for the focus and ZX2.

Plus top of that there is one pro guys runnig staright line Focus and Ford pulled their sponcership after he started running a 2.3.

But this is just my  :2c: and you don't have to listen to me.

And with fords track record it would probably be a front drive.

If anything, a new TC should have the Aussie Falcon XR6 turbo.

It will never happen.
If ford did bring something back to call the TC it would not be anything like what it use to be.

It wouldn't have a solid rear, that's for sure. And it would have mostly Jag/Volvo parts. Scary expensive. Unless they took Pontiac's lead and started sourcing down under. Again, scary expensive.

Bingo, the Fairlane is a prime example. :disappoin

Already signed it the first time this came up around here. You could probably even figure out which signature is mine if you read the comments. :p

On side note,
U can still find a 87 TC but it fit it up better then it was back in 87 for less what a new car would cost.

If the TC body is not to your liking get a 4 banger stang and drop in TC motor and trany and your fast and good on gas.


On side note,  Might be getting 80 notch stang given to me free,
This is 4 banger car and i know were there is a nother TC with blown headgasket for 400 bucks,

 are you kiding me it wouldn't be  a front wheel drive, they may use a mustang platform or a jag s type platform would make much more sense

inflation on the thing would put most of us out of the price bracket for one anyway.
