You know what would have been nice, if you searched.

You know what would be nice? If you STFU! I did search Thunderbird, 2003 Thunderbird, Thunderbird supercharged & I couldn't find this article so seriously STFU! Some of you guys are major dicks on here & it's amazing how anal you can be.

first time I saw that

Wtf was their to search for? He obviously was searching for something because he found the car. Now granted it was probably like the McLaren LS that never saw the light of day but it wasn't like he was asking if they were out there and where to buy one.

Lincoln LS - the most popular "what if" car in America

Actually, they did actually make one of these. Didn't go anywhere though. Probably worried it might hurt Jaguar, like the original LSE concept.:Bang :shifty:
Found some good pics, tho.

That car sure does look nice in red. There was actually only one ever made by Ford?

LSE should have been blown from the factory..... that is all I have to say about that

 

[HRLNKN]

Agreed!:Beer
But, you know if FoMoCo ever did let that one happen, they would have neutered it somthin' awful.

 

[SPSully]

still, for the LSE to only have styling differences is weak sauce

 

[HRLNKN]

Well, I'm not sure about the build on the sc thunderbird, buuut.... that supercharged engine looks like it would fit under the stock hood. So, in theory, it should be able to fit under the stock LS hood also.

This, as far as I can tell anyway, is the only one that they built to test in real life. I mean, they had the "concept" show car and all, but we all know that those cars almost never get out on the road for real.

 

[pektel]

Interesting that they didn't wrap the intake tube all around the engine. I could've swore that on our setups, that would never work. I suppose you could try to relocate stuff.

 

[HRLNKN]

I think that's a Gen2 Thunderbird, so same layout as Gen2 LS & S-Type. The wrap-around thing would probably work on a Gen1, though. Maybe from the XJR with the 4.0 liter engine? Dunno.

 

[pektel]

gen2 LS had the TB at the front of the engine, no?

 

[LEOV5]

I remember reading that the then Ford CEO Mually got a one off Supercharged TBird as his personal car to drive. Maybe that is it, because no specs where ever released on it except that it was supercharged.

 

[HRLNKN]

Yes. The supercharged throttle body is at the back, directly under the bottom of the intake tube sitting upright. (Sorry, this was the best pic I could find.)

Right. And where is the TB on the gen 2 v8?

 

[FASTLLS]

That engine is like sex.. Oooohhh Aaahhhhh yes yes.. lol :lol:

Its amazing how some of you guys let the smallest things completely shatter your ego's.

TDUB, I didnt mean to quote you, it just happened because you quoted me, this response is for Dennis.

Gen 2 LS. Throttle body sits @ the front. Same layout for the S-type N/A engine too.
