90TGP

Just received my 1989 issue of Automobile magazine from eBay. It has a red TGP and a gray Thunderbird Super Coupe on the cover. It also has "Stealing Ford's Thunder."

The TGP ran a 15.3 to the SC 15.7. Even though the SC has a 5-speed, rwd, 5hp more and 315ft/lbs of torque, the extra 450lbs didn't help any.

I was just looking at that issue.  I haven't read the article yet but it looks like a good one!

no, they were M90s, and they were intercooled too.  Too bad Ford put it on the 3.8 V6 though.  I wonder what their thinking behind that was...

head of R&D at FORD- "Lets take a V6 motor and put on a supercharger."
assistant to head of R&D- "Well, we have this 3.8 V6 that blows head gaskets all the time"
head of R&D at FORD- "EXCELLENT!!"
