Me and my friend were planning this race all week long, my 1997 grand prix gtp (with only a cai) vs his dad's 2002 v-8 thunderbird. I thought i was going to loose the entire week leading up to the race, but i still knew it would be somewhat close. So finnaly we race, i pull ahead for the first couple gears, but then i see him start to catch up. But then he couldnt catch up anymore and we are drivig down the highway neck and neck passing 100mph and right toward the end of the race, my gtp pulled ahead by a couple of feet to win it. He was about as pissed as i was excited, i still give him **** to this day. It was my first, but not my last kill
 


Nice one, I lost BAD in my 01 Cougar against one. I knew I was gonna lose just wanted to try it out...supercharged v8 1=NA 2.5 V6 0.
 
still not making sense here. there were no "super coupes" aka the supercharged V6's from the 90's in 2002. the 3.9 V8 is not blown, just a real small v8
 


well the guy had a little money so who am i to question it lol. seriously some people modded the superchargers for a fit, didn't come like that.
 
No, those newer T-birds are NOT supercharged. Just a small V-8 putting out 280 crank HP. I think they are a little on the heavy side too, so that's why his GTP beat it with only about 250 crank HP.
 
Good kill.
I almost bought a sc t-bird before i bought my gtp.
Glad i didn't, cause even with mods those things are slow.
 


for the record, ford used a 3.8 litre in the super-coupes
and the new style thunderbirds where a carry-over engine from the GT mustang
4.6 SOHC V8
 
Good news! Our prom is in a couple weeks and this kid was to run again (a rematch i guess lol) but i will try to have video of this one
