its an XR-7
accelerates pretty rapidly, brakes great, sticks to the road well for weighing two and a quarter tons
original engine head cracked now has a 5.0 ho 302 engine
exterior is two tone maroon and silver interior is red
gets 18-21 miles to the gallon gotta add a quart of trans fluid every month and a half
awesome fun to drive

Performance was similar to a Cougar I rode in in Wyandotte in 1984 spring. The finish was different. The rattle in build quality was 302 motor piston swept area rounded to 5 oh valve seal fatuige. Spark plug anti fouler!Oct 20, 2009

Could handle better and the 5.0 should be the HO like the Mustang had, but it is what it is. It still turns quite a few heads and has enough power to get me in a bit of trouble, if it weren't for the rust (its driven in the snow and is over 20 years old now) I'd keep it forever. It is a bit helpless driving in the snow, but snow tires and some weight in the trunk would fix that. It's been basically trouble free in the 8 years I've owned it and gets good gas mileage for an older V8 (even better with new exhaust and headers, the factory exhaust was rediculously undersized for this car) Still a great comfortable, RWD, V8 car as any good car should be.Jul 29, 2008

This car was my very first baby. She was awful in the snow, but other than that, she was excellent. Minimal upkeep needed. Also, she had pretty decent acceleration for a non-performance, or highend, vehicle.Jan 05, 2008
