Since when...? Reply #15 – November 16, 2006, 03:58:05 PM i recently found an old car magazine (hot rod, car craft, one of the 1,000 car mags that i own!) that was calling the 83 thunderbird an "areobird" in the preproduction sketches in 82.the funnier thing was the engines to be avalable where going to be the 2.3 N/A, 2.3 T, 3.8, and the 5.0 with a C3, SROD, or T5 on all models Quote Selected
Since when...? Reply #16 – November 17, 2006, 12:45:43 AM What I remember the aero name came around during design because T-bird was there Nascar car of choice. After the aero drag of the Box Birds they wanted to design a car to perform better at high speeds. The aero birds are the first car to be basically a race car aero package from the factory. Very little aero stuff was done to the body for aero during race setup. Also the box birds lacked in sales so ford needed to do something to get the attention back to the T-bird /Cougar body style. The aero birds did both whooped ass at the track and sold much better than pervious models. Does this mean I watched the history ch. show on the ford t-bird a few to many times. Quote Selected
