Fox's are cool and all buta Supercharged T-bird isn't easy to come by. At least not where I'm at. If you want to still race, you'll have the advantage of being more aerodynamic. However, it the back of your head you'll always regret trading in your fox. For the rest of your life. [echo effect]Forever..ever...ever...ever

that is kinda a catch 22 a girl i dated in high school had a sc and i had a turbo coupe . they were a night and day difference in power except mine didn't eat heads like hers did . if i remember right her dad said they had put 3 stes of heads on it in 3 years . so it is your call on that , but man they are quick but i think you would miss the fox .

You only live life once. There's plenty of foxes out there, I say try it. If it doesn't work out, get another fox then you know you at least tried it. If it does work out, you could be happier.

your call... advice from a 17 y/o that is partially emoat the momentand has had about 10 cars in the last year, take it or leave it.

Hell, putting plugs in a SC ain't easy the way they ran the intake tubing all over the place. If you like pulling all of that stuff off to to the head gaskets, then go ahead. You have to replace the head bolts every time too. Torque to yield type. The mileage ain't that much better. The car is alot heavier.
The non-SC 3.8's have enough problems with head gaskets.
I'd keep the fox.
