Re: 2004 Thunderbird Production Final Listing
Just a few Kinks in the Z's Armour ... The Z's factory tires are Summer/Dry only and have a horrible treadlife rating 220. The dealer neglects to tell you these minor details. I immediately replaced my tires and rims as winter was quickly approaching. The radio display was often hard to read with the top down and the top down volume equalizer feature never worked right. The Z's HID low beams are incredible headlights, but I still wished for aux driving lights, but the front design has no logical place to mount any that would look integrated enough for my tastes. For some costing cutting reasons the high beams are not HID. Regardless of the above quibbles, I miss my Z for it knew it was a high performance car with a little too much weight for purest and nothing more. My Thunderbird makes me crack a smile still when I punch the gas as the V8 purrs without drama. The TBird is a close to perfect blend of performance and touring car characteristics. I would however, prefer to dial back the steering boost just a bit.
