Won't you hop inside my car?
beautiful SC, very very nice, I still want one
Does a thunderbird super coupe count as a kill?

I guess I'm lucky as I have both cars.
I've got an '03 Marauder and a pretty sweet little '94 Supercoupe 5 speed. After the work I put into them, the SC will eat my Marauder.
It all just depends on the mood of the day as to which I will drive...
Same here. I'm lucky enough to have a 93 SC 5-speed and the 04 Marauder. The SC gets the garage but I drive it to work about once a week. Having the stick blows the Marauder automatic out the window. I almost didn't get the Marauder because of the dang automatic - I hate 'em.
I have a 90mm lightning maf.
Yup its Mike Tuck.
Yeah Ima restore the 94 and keep her stock except for maybe a 4.2 stroker and cam and heads. But it'll look stock

2 Beautiful cars!
That blue SC is sweet looking.
But there is something missing in that photo....2 rear spoilers!...
BTW: Does anyone remember when Kenny Brown would section the T-Bird SCs and shorten them by @ 8 inches?
They looked more like a BMW when he was finished....definitely unique looking T-Birds.

I was waiting for the T-Bird "Super Duper Couper"........ but it never came.....
Always thought that Ford should have put a 351 in the mid 80's T-Bird....

He went 12.13 @ 112 at last year shootout but I swore he hit 11.90's after that. He's the one who got me into SC's. If I didn't have so much bad luck with the one I bought, I'd probably still own one.
I had an 85 TurboCoupe, and I now have an LX (4.6) and a 2003 Bird.
My LX would have been a great car if the auto trans had been higher quality. No hot rod, but with the slightly lower 3:27 rear, not a dog either. At full throttle, manual shifting from "D" to "2" at red line provides a much more positive shift as opposed to letting the trans shift on its own. At 144,000 miles, motor still runs great.
As for the 2003, it is exactly what it was designed to be, a top down cruiser. Doesn't handle as well as my 2004 Lincoln LS, but neither car (same motor/trans) are dogs from a standing start (stock form, 0-60 around 6.5 seconds). And, with the five speed select shift, they can be fun to drive.
The 2003 and up LS and TBirds were considered much better performers than the 2002s. Added about 30 hp. Plus, I can get near 30 mpg on highway runs.
But, passenger and trunk space are very limited, especially on the TBird.

Thank you very much. The interior and exterior are all factory OEM. That's how good shape she's in.
I'm the opposite. I drive the MM daily, but on occasion, the SC will get the attention. The construction around here kills me when the clutch has to be pressed in and out for over an hour as the local idiots figure out how to drive.
I have a 90mm lightning maf. How much you want for it?
Yup its Mike Tuck. Good guy, but I've never met him although I went to HS with hids kids.

I don't know who he is as I don't spend much time over there anymore although the name looks familiar.

If it was a Blue MM .... it would be a perfect pic.

Look at all the T/SCoupe fans we have brought out of the woodwork:beer:
Bleh! Who needs a blue MM? I'd rather have the black and blue bruises to match the Bluerauder's ego.If it was a Blue MM .... it would be a perfect pic.
