Sorry guys a close friend of mine has a 92 T-bird SC....he always gives me a close race but my 93 L67 wins out. Mine is mostly stock and so is his. The SuperBird isn't even close as quality and he has had a lot of problems with transmissions and the power windows. I sold Fords from 89 to 94, mostly trucks. Now and then a Bird SC or a SHO. I takes a good driver to do the SHOw right if it'* got the manual, it has a real hard to master 2 -3 shift(crap linkage) most rookies miss that shift. Bird would be even up for GO, but you couldn't get me to buy one, doesn't stack up to the SSEi.

ken

T-bird SC'* are VERY heavy, 3900lbs so even with 210hp and 315lb of tourque an SSEi, series1 and obviously series 2 will kill a T bird.

I did a little research on the variations on the series 1SC testings on the SSEi. You know anywhare from 7.5 to 9 flat from 0-60. I'd go with the 7.5 0-60 time even though Road and Track claimed 9 sec 0-60. This is because R&T used the WORST tesing conditions possible; 95 degrees and 80% humidity. Thats jungle like humidity, not exactly car friendly. Most tests are done at 75 degrees and 20% humidity. Heck, they probably had the AC blasting as well. None the less 7.5 sec 0-60 is much more reasonable for 205hp and 260lb touque. A series 1 NA will run 0-60 in 9 flat.

is the eaton M90 supercharger on the supercoupes interchangable w/ the superchargers on the series 2 engines or is one made for gm and another for fords? Did any other cars besides the few gm cars ever come with the m62 supercharger?

i was lookin for a series 1 bonneville but i came across a 92 park avenue ultra w/ around 100k thats real clean, so that may be my next ride if nothin else catches my eyes in the next week or so

Here'* one that'* fairly close to ya. No reserve, at $500 right now...

As a former TBird SC owner, I can confirm the 210 hp and 315 lbs torque for 89-93 SC'*. The 94 - 95 model cars received many tweaks by the 3.8L Engineers. The rods were improved, the heads were modified slightly, and the crank was altered. Numerous electronic components and sensors were changed, the EEC controller was updated, and the injectors were raised to 36# vs. 30# on the early model cars. The automatic transmission became “electronic” (4R70W vs. AOD), the manual trans. received slightly different ratios. The single major reason for the horsepower difference between the early and late model engines is the better internal porting and epoxied rotors on the ‘94/95 Eaton supercharger. The differences between the two and the rectangular opening on the rear of the late model unit is far larger than the oval opening on the early model units. Even though it is spun slower than the early model blowers, it makes the extra HP easily through enhanced airflow capability and increased adiabatic efficiency which increased HP to 230 and torque went up to 330. .

My 95 SC was a 5speed and when it was running right It was faster than a friends 98 Grand Prix GTP (stock vs stock).


This is the only time I can find for a stock 94 or 95
What SCCOA says about 1/4 mile times

Qoute from SCCOA

Here'* a page from Motor Trend:



The TBird was an Automatic and still ran a 15.2 at 88 mph.

Not srue you'll be happy with the softer suspension and taller gears. It drives totally different.

That ebay car that was posted seems to have the ABS/TC system out....Not a bad thing though!

Yeah, I found mine on eBay. Traded a '71 musclecar plus $1000.

Bah, I was going to post a pic of my Torino, but they're all at work. Anyway....

So far, the only Thunderbird that'* beaten me was one with a modified and chipped 5.0. Now, based on BadTA'* findings, I need to find a 94-95 TBird SC to taste... :P

Truthfully, I hope I get beat up on by it...heheh...

Here'* what a 94 or 95 will look like in the front:
